TO MY DAD, PLEASE FIGHT AND GET WELL SOON. GOD WILL NEVER LEAVE US. I LOVE YOU SO MUCH. I KNOW GOD WILL PROVIDE EVERYTHING YOU NEED FOR THE MEDICATION. PRAYING FOR YOU DAD. GOD BLESS US ALWAYS!
I LOVE THIS SONG SO MUCH. IT'S MY MOM AND DAD'S FAVORITE TOO. I LOVE YOU MOM AND DAD. TO MOM EVEN THOUGH YOU LEFT US SO SOON, I WILL ALWAYS REMEMBER AND LOVE YOU FOREVER. YOU ARE THE GREATEST. MISSING YOU SO MUCH.
Matt Munro will always be held with special regards over here in England, he had such a pure voice and made it from his humble beginnings as a working class lad. he was and remained true to his roots. His amazing voice raised him up to heights he could never have imagined. The impossible dream !
Great voice, no comparison really with any of his contemporaries, but at times he had that Anthony Newley feel about it with the velvet of Andy Williams. Unique.
I've listened to all of them one after the other singing this song & without question MM's version is the greatest. His voice in all of his songs are velvety & smooth. The best by far.
Heard that Matt was driving his double decker out of Shepherd's Bush garage when he heard that Portrait of my Love had made it into the charts. They had to find another driver. He was gone and he had arrived at the same time.
my mom loves this,, so every morning i play songs from the 60s, she loves humming with these songs,, i love my parents, so to repay for everything, i made them smile every morning with this classic songs,, i love my parents they r in their 60s.
Perhaps, the best version of this song ever recorded. MM sings this song as it was intended. The song is not intended as some big "show stopper" of a song. Unfortunately, almost every other singer wants to overdo this song. Other singers, over sing it, the arrangements and orchestrations are bombastic, and filled with long held, and bellowing notes. MM's version is subtle, understated, and true in its intention, which makes it, by far, more powerful and effective than any other rendition.
I understand that Sinatra maintained that Matt Monro had the greatest voice....and who could argue with him? It's a shame that he didn't attain the same heights as Sinatra.
ThankYou for Matt Monro's rendition here of 'Impossible Dream'; -while Jack Jones belted it, his version falls short compared to this stirring performance in one regard. Had JJ begun signing perhaps a half-octave lower, he could have thus made that more glorious full-octave higher reach for that unreachable 'star' last-note, to knock it out of the ballpark! That is the one flaw in JJ's great delivery, -the musical-dir. did not force JJ to 'reach' more in keeping with the theme as did MM...!!!
@rurimino I just like the whole style of the song. Had it not been for the Honda advert resurrecting the tune i doubt if i would have searched youtube for it. The music adds weight to the excellent wording and makes it a very inspirational song indeed. As for which version. AW or MM. Today I'll choose MM. Ask me in a few months and i may choose AW.. :O)
@Kr1s250c2 - Yes you are right and thanks for that – The advert has used the Andy Williams version- I’m not sure if the Andy Williams version has the edge over Matt Monroe (maybe AW a tad but it depends on my day I guess)- But… they are both great replicas from the story of Don Quixote (please correct me if I have that wrong).
At the end of the day it’s a very inspirational song that deserves to be brought out again (and again).. I still give top marks to the advertising agency and AW & MM
It's a question of delicacy and precision over a homegrown and familiar American sound which Williams does impeccability. If the song is to truly touch you and mean something which do you prefer?

@lorrainesophiad: 'Appreciated by Elvis'... Hmmm? I would reckon that to be a fairly dubious accolade. Don't get me wrong - I love Elvis, but...
That's like Rod Laver being appreciated by Buster Mottram;
Like The Queen being appreciated by Margaret Trudeau;
Like Scotch Whisky being appreciated by meth-spirits;
Like a diamond being appreciated by a glass-cutter;
Like a bull being appreciated by a sheep;
Like Pele being appreciated by David bekam; (that's a good one)
Like Matt Munro being..
