There may have been voices as good as Matt Monro, but none have been better. This song is his very best. If I put together a list of music that I could listen to anytime, anywhere, this song would be on it.
I can remember the sixties very well, they were the best years of any ones life. Just before that came rock and roll which I thought was better than any music before that, and along came Matt Monro who was the rest singer this country as ever had, and never sung a bad song, they were all gems what he sang.
Dark suit, white shirt, narrow tie - it's sixties chic... Matt was his stylish self, this was what was considered smart or of course the Kray twins would have been similarly chic. Three years later Mat was singing On Days Like These for the Fabulous opening sequence of The Italian Job.
Matt Munro used to be a bus driver,looked like a villain and sang like an angel !!! I understand he was a great human being and devoted to his family, i have never heard a singer with a better voice or dictation, unsurpased as a ballad singer !
Even blue eyes loved Matt's singing, he rated him very high and Im sure most people who enjoy Matt Monro's singing would agree with a great singer like Frank Sinatra.
Try to listen too Matt Monro Walk Away cover by Winston Rodrigazo from Philippines. I think it's more evoking with strong emotion, especially a sense of sadness, that persists for a long time than the original.No offense meant to MM fans like me. Just listen and compare.
Just listened to your recommendation. Yes it's a good version, but that says more about the song than Winston. ANYBODY with a good voice can make this song their own, it really is that good.
But Matt Monro has that someething specoal, that (dreaded word) X-factor. An air of musical superiority, almost God-like. Because of that, for me, there will only ever be Matt's version.
Every note he sings makes Sinartra sound like wannabe.
George Martin, Mat's world renowned producer wrote- Mat Monro was the finest singer of ballads that I ever had the good fortune to produce.Mat had the rare gift of getting to the heart of the lyric and with his supurb voice, delivering it in such a way that it became a personal message to his audience.
Mat will sing on, and I shall always hear him. (From an EMI record cover ''Mat Will Sing Forever
awesome. .and RARE as hens teeth as this seems to be a complete re-record of the song as well with a lighter orchestral arrangement ....or was he singing live to a backing track?
It's nice to know that someone appreciates my upload. This video was from the Matt Monro Ultimate Collection DVD set. This set contains 3 DVDs, one of them is titled Go Go with Monro, this was where this video clip came from. I bought this DVD set from Amazon.co.uk recently.
