In a rare and unforgettable moment captured live in Los Angeles in 1987, two icons—Johnny Mathis and Henry Mancini—graced the stage together to perform “Two For The Road” and “Charade.”

Their collaboration was more than a concert; it was an intimate time capsule of classic American elegance, where Mancini’s masterful compositions met Mathis’s velvety, timeless voice.

Now, as Johnny Mathis prepares to retire at age 90 after his final shows in May 2025—citing memory loss and health challenges—the performance takes on new meaning, echoing with nostalgia and grace.

Johnny Mathis, the legendary pop singer renowned for timeless hits like “Misty” and “Chances Are,” has announced his retirement from live performances at the age of 89 due to age-related health concerns, including memory issues.

His final concert is scheduled for May 18, 2025, at the Bergen Performing Arts Center in Englewood, New Jersey.

Mathis’s management expressed heartfelt gratitude to fans worldwide for their unwavering support throughout his illustrious career.

With a career spanning nearly seven decades, Mathis has released 79 studio albums and received numerous accolades, including the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award.

His retirement marks the end of an era in the music industry, leaving behind a legacy of romantic ballads and a devoted fan base.

Watch the performance for yourself to appreciate the memorable moment!
