Matt Monro "If I Never Sing Another Song"

[happystar8081]

this is classic beautiful singing!!!!! wow!! what a beautiful voice:)

[t3l3v1z0r]

my bad- original version by Alexandra, 1967. Long way for a song to go. Still, each version is a lovely piece of music and soul. Matt's voice beats Sinatra's every day of the week.

[t3l3v1z0r]

The original version is called Tu eşti primăvara mea, sung by Andreescu and composed earlyer in 1973 by Florin Bogardo. Credits where they are due.

Looks so much like my father...Matt is a truly great singer. Some of these photos could be him. @1:45 and all of them. Wish he could've stayed for this big party. xx

One of my favorites song from Matt, since long long time ago .

[johns1750]

truly a great singer, sadly missed. RIP

[wittablackhall]

pure class

[gillwilkinsongw]

What great photos you have found of the very best singer we have ever produced, and such a lovely down to earth man, in a league of his own, sadly missed. Many thanks for posting.

[gganon1]

What a velvet voice, every song tells a story and he can make you feel as if you were in that song

[LAV412]

UNBELIEVABLE VOICE!! I can't seem to get enough of Matt Monro!!! I am ashamed to say I recently learned of him, but I will never stop listening to his music now!! I am obsessing on him!! I absolutely love his voice. I put him up there and sometime above Sinatra!

[sanmigboy888]

THATS THE MUSIC WE LOVE IT ALL.

[kreepiivum00]

Im barely 18 but i love this song so much since it was my dads favorite :D lol reminds me of him & memories everytime i listen to this.

[lancers83]

you will always sing another song matt.your talent will live forever.

[N4CUZ1]

Thanks, fastasfox.

As to the number of hit songs:

Matt was not a profesional singer that long. Had he been found sooner, or lived longer, who knows? The same is true of Bobby Darin, and, to an extent, Nat King Cole. I am not sure of the others. I have heard people do a good job copying Sinatra and Elvis's voice, but never Nat King Cole or Matt Monro's.

[MarkMan204]

Matt has that 'special' sound. A distinctive voice that's intrisically woven into our  culture from the 1950's onwards. Coupled with some of the great songwiters, lyricists, and composers of our time - incl. George Martin, Don Black, John Barry - Matt Moro performed some of the seminal timeless classics that will be around forever. Thank you Matt Monro!

[mick181070]

Fantastic, a great voice. Francis Alberts said this man was the greatest ever British singer. A true accolade.

[deanogigalo]

What a singers singer , the best above it all .

[m1ck57]

brilliant thanks i live in shoreditch

[EverettMcGill80]

written by Udo Jürgens an Austrian songwriter and dedicated to Frank Sinatra... And Sammy Davis Jr. used this song at the end of every Concert until the end.... What a great song, performed by great Matt Monroe...

[neilnsue]

AWESOME-he left too soon!

[MrEnglishman2009]

One off the best singers a man that could sing with feelings love from Ukraine

[N4CUZ1]

BillDFC -- Frank had a lot more years to live. If Frank is your favorite, I respect that. These posts are not facts, after all -- they are opinions. In my opinion, a singing bus driver that makes it to the top later in life than Frank due to connections, and dies prematurely, with a voice like none other (IMO), Matt Monro, beats out Frank Sinatra. But, I do respect your opinion as much as mine.

[merseybeatsfan123]

wonderful ,a singers singer and song .I am just watching a programme about Matt on BBC4 (AGAIN!) Just been on his web-site and his second wife died a few weeks ago ,very sad .

[quantum513]

thnk you very much for the good and meaning full song,idol

[Kringlebeast]

A Matt Monro video has no place for your language. Take it to a JayZ comments section.

[FRANKY231182]

it is from a James Bond Movie??

[N4CUZ1]

@FRANKY231182 , From Russia with Love was sung on the James Bond soundtrack by Matt Monro. Then, there was Born Free. I am sure there were others.

[alllondon123]

my nan really loves this song so this is why played it for her.

[N4CUZ1]

To my ear, Frank spoke more than sang.  Matt sings! I have ranked him above Frank since 1966, when Walk Away was released.

[markserjeant]

N4CUZ1, your comment is very true.

[BillDFC]

@N4CUZ1 Frank was out on his own....no one comes near ..

[fastasfox]

@N4CUZ1

Im with you all the way frank just does not have the same quality to his voice as matt.

I should be too young to be a matt monro fan (37) but i dont care as im a very proud matt monro fan he even has the fairy tale story to go with his music.

[neoperseus]

I find Monro's voice to be more pleasurable to listen to than Sinatra's. Monro's voice has a smooth warmth where Sinatra's is clinical and cold. In my opinion.

[websurfer1001]

Ok Guys...im portuguese (meaning neutral) and i honestly belive Matt Monro had a great voice. He was a very good singer and in my opinion in the same league of Andy Williams, Vic Damone, Nat King Cole, Sammy Davis and Bobby Darin. He was second only to Sinatra, Bing Crosby and Elvis, not because of his vocal skills but because he didn't got so many hit songs to record.

[TheSwingSinger]

Probably the most underated voice in history!!! He makes it sound all so effortless

[jaurena47]

To The Swing Singer

We must remember he sold 100 million records.

I bought 1 in 1969 in spanish.

My point is we didn't have those mps,casettes , any portable players,

not even 8 track in cars around the world .

limited tv also.

Matts was big in South America and the world.

So people didn't buy more ,no place to play it

I think he did beatiful and well recognized.

[TheSwingSinger]

He sure was a great singer, over here in England he was known as the 'singing milkman' simply because he had the vocal technique to be as popular as sammy, frank, dean, Nat King Cole however I dont think you could say he was in their league.

I think that people see him in the next catagory below, I mean Bing Crosby sold a lot more records than 100 million...I think he is the second largest artist after Michael Jackson!

Anyway he was a great vocalist

[TheHorseinaround]

@TheSwingSinger you will find it was busdriver..

[alllondon123]

do you like this song

and do you know it

[MultiDKenny]

@TheSwingSinger - Absolutely right!

The MOST underrated voice in history.

Wonderful singer, his enunciation is the

BEST of any singer i've ever heard.

[TV175mod]

What I would give to be able to see Matt Monro in concert? His voice made you proud to be British..... Without doubt the best British male singer ever.

[joemoe23]

lounge singer but can't touch the greats

[philsinatra]

In fact, he is the second greatest male popular singer ever. We all know who was first.

[Basseyfan4life]

don't talk rubbish, he was up there with the greats.

[TheHorseinaround]

@joemoe23  go and take your cock out of your mouth you talk utter shite.

[TheHorseinaround]

@joemoe23 dumb fugker of a yank.

[maxellwarrior]

We all get old and have to die.. Life goes on and on.. So it does not bother me.

[Leafarvic]

I used to sing when I was young, in the early 60's. and had a "career" until 73. To me. Mat Monro will always be among the " greats " like Frank Sinatra, Sammy Davis, Steve Lawrence, Tony Bennett. He had such a beautiful voice and smooth style. I like all of his songs !

[showtor]

simply one of the best singers that have ever graced the earth

[maska12000]

cu adevarat vedeta .....nu meltenii de la noi

[zamboangaVillain]

[nthglasScotland]

Too many singers died too early, Matt was one & the other I would have loved to see live was Billy Fury, but there music will play on.

[sofiainred]
