Johnny Mathis is black?
Yes. At least partly. I always knew him that way.
1st time I ever heard of him being “gay” or whatever was some story my manager (car store; gritty guys) was giving. Claiming Johnny was present for naming a street after him and it was raining, so the prissy wouldn’t get out of the car for it. That was almost 20 years ago.
My parents played his stuff in the car all the time. We sang to it. I love Johnny.
