This song is just class! The makers of the Siemens Ad made the right choice with this song! Matt Monro was one of the best singers of his time & even today his songs like this one will always be popular.
MM is one of the greatest singers that ever sang the American Popular Song. His sound, his phrasing and control, his connection to the lyric puts him up there with Sinatra, Jack Jones, etc
Always loved this song and Matt's beautiful voice. But what's with the album cover? Is he about to indulge in a threesome? 'This is the life' indeed! LOL!
Its a shame that he did'nt get great songs from his management because if you listen to any of Matt's songs his diction is perfect and this sets him apart from any other singer in his category,this is the life this is the BEST......
@dustysmith7 Totally agree, unfortunately didn't really have the recognition he deserved as he Frank Sinatra was in limelight and Matt sounded very similar. Fantastic voice we just don't make them like we used too.
What a great song and I've just seen where it's been made available to download (legally) and thanks to that T.V.add it's doing great business...not that he's ever been forgotten by his fans, but maybe MR Monro's time is coming round again?
This song is classy! Matt Monro is one of the best singers the UK has produced as I prefer him singing to any of the rat pack ... Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin or Sammy Davis Junior ... Matt Monro's songs will always be popular as its the way he sings them!
One of the old guard Como,Bennet,Martin,Boone,Sinatra to mention but a few.Well what have today,not a lot my friends.

I'm greatful to that tech advert, I probably wouldn't have heard this otherwise, I think this sounds Christmasy, so nice.
Just a question, 'Monroe' as in Marilyn Monroe's Brother? or Father? just wondering =P
