Sunday Classics 10.08.25​

Hey members!

This Sunday, we’re going full swoon with a timeless classic: 'The Twelfth of Never' by Johnny Mathis. Originally released in 1957 as the B-side to 'Chances Are', this song carved its own legacy as one of the most heartfelt love ballads of the era.

Source: 1guysrule / YouTube​

The lyrics are pure poetry—'I’ll love you till the poets run out of rhyme…'—set against lush orchestration and Johnny’s signature velvet vocals. The title itself is a poetic twist on 'forever', and the song captures that sense of eternal devotion in every note. No surprise it’s been a wedding favourite for generations.

Fun fact: The melody is adapted from a folk tune called 'The Riddle Song', which makes its sentiment feel both classic and universal. Whether you’ve heard it a hundred times or this is your first listen, it’s a masterclass in slow-burn romance.

Give it a spin—and tell us what classic you'd love to see next!

I first heard this recording on Forces Broadcasting Service in 1957 in Cyprus whilst doing my National Service. I have been a fan of Johnny Mathis ever since
To my mind he was the voice of the 20th and 21st Century and was still doing concerts at 89 years old. He has just retired and turns 90 in September. Such a wonderful singer.
