I guess you have not heard Johnny Mathis sing this song--it appeared on an LP , only released in USA, called the Silver Anniversary Album--also included him singing "The way you look tonight." It was never released on cd, and to my knowledge these tracks do not appear anywhere else.

Don't think we have heard Johnny Mathis version of "There I've Said It Again," But Vaughn Monroes version has always been our favourite too, which reminds me of another of his songs ...THIS IS WORTH FIGHTING FOR. ..."Shep And His New Music" recorded this song too, but Vaghan Monro's was very good and the most popular :)

STARS FELL ON ALABAMA. Lot's of orchestral versions, plus vocalists, Frankie Laine, Ricky Nelson, Johnny Mathis, Lee Wiley, but it rests between Ella Fitzgerald and Doris Day, and no doubt Doris Day's is superb. :)

I would be surprised if you had heard JM sing "there I've said it again"-it is a very rare recording--however-

"I HAD THE CRAZIEST DREAM"" by JM is more recent, and it is my favourite version.
