Johnny Mathis Live: Wonderful, Wonderful!

This PBS TV special 1st aired in 2006, then was repeated in 2017 and 2024(as of this writing). Wonderful, Wonderful is a Johnny Mathis concert filmed at the Tropicana Resort in Atlantic City, NJ. More than a concert, though, as there are current(2006) interviews with the star about his early years and archive footage with additional songs. The concert is not complete but never fear, the DVD is. New and old songs including hits from the movies West Side Story + Willy Wonka. This was his 50th anniversary in the music business! Find out what JM's top 3 songs are and what non English language song he sings! The camera work is exceptional as little of the audience is shown and we have mostly medium close-ups of the performer. The large orchestra performs well with Gil Reigers as the lead guitarist.
