Hooked
That song that clings, and sings.
This has been going on in my head for two days. I hope this might help get it out of there.
I had forgotten that it was Johnny Mathis.
I thought Nat King Cole. Sue me.
Mathis sort of came out as a gay man then back pedaled.
Management told him to get back into the closet.
I was surprised to find that he is still very much alive! And still working. He is 78.
I don't need him to come out. He has gone from a guy who was gay being famous and successful to being a guy who is almost as old as I am and still working, riding those hits to the end.
