That should have read.  Havana

[marileato]

I'm wondering do you have. have Nagila have heard it's sensational as in the middle he sings acapella so you hear his pure voice no backing.

Matt was FANTASTIC! I would have liked to hear this song sung in Russian as opposed to Espanol. STILL GREAT!

I thought that Frank sinatra made Strangers in the Night

(part 2) ... Unlike his contemporaries, Monro sang very few of the Tin Pan Alley standards. Instead, he searched for material written by promising newcomers and commissioned English lyrics for melodies by European composers. He also covered many of the most popular stage and screen songs of the 1950s and 1960s.

(part 1): Matt Monro (1930-85) was an English ballad singer and one of the most powerful international post-World War II entertainers. Throughout his career, he filled cabarets, nightclubs, music halls and stadiums all over the world. He sold more than 100 million records during his lifetime.

He had developed a reputation for a singing voice that was frequently compared to Frank Sinatra, and although this was overstated it did lead to attention from EMI...

[barcelonaterry]

His voice was much better than sinatras, more smoother and easier on the ear, Thanks for posting this great Spanish version,Muy Bueno, me gusta!

[topliff12345]

i think sinatra himself admitted that!

[casa2ra]

it is definitely better than sinatra. I can listen to him for a long period of time without getting bored.
