George Martin, Mat's internationally aclaimed producer (also the Beatles') had this to say re Mat." 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 the audience. This showed in his personal life too. Always outward looking, he had a terrific sense of humour and seemed to find only the best in people. Mat will sing on and I shall always hear him. "' EMI record cover Mat Will sing Forever.
What I wouldn't give to be able to sing like he did. I never saw or heard him much as a child. But as I began to get a better grasp of what singing was all about I discovered Matt Monro. Along with Frank and Andy, Matt ranked at the top of my list of singers to respect and learn from.
Regarding the UK talent; he is superb !! The music today is terrible; yelling and screaming and nobody can carry a tune. They think yelling at your will hide whatever talent they have.
AWESOME SEEMS INADEQUATE THANKS FOR BRINGING US THIS WONDERFUL VOICE. MOVIES AND PHOTOS PURE DELIGHT ESPECIALLY LAGOON PHOTO. VERY GRATEFUL LOVER OF GREAT MUSIC AND VOICE.
For years I have listened to so many different kinds of music being 39 this stuff was not out when I was a little laddy. But it just never ages his voice is so pitch perfect just wish he was still here would have loved to see him live. You might be gone Matt but your music/voice is still sending shivers down spines to this day RIP Fella.
thank you so much xnyex for posting matt's songs. now i know u r also like me a hopeless romantic. love all of matt monro's songs. a super singer in terms of quality.
This is a beautiful version of the song. I always loved listening to Matt growing up. I am just turning 60 years old, so you know he was popular when I was a young woman, listening to romantic songs that he sang so well! It brings back wonderful memories!
I have always loved this song and Matt sings it beautifully. I don't know why I had so much trouble finding it. Glad I finally did. Thanks for posting.
When I was a teenager I heard Matt Monro sings Born Free and even though I did not speak English, I liked his voice. Now, that I can speak and write English I have been hearing some of his music in YouTube. He was incredible and had a wonderful beautiful voice. A crooner.
a true crooner in every sense of the word.beautiful vocals impeccably delivered,truly agreat! left us far to soon,but did leave his music thanks matt.
My goodness. My goodness. I long for the days when a singer loved the lyrics and interpreted them with soul and understanding. Mr. Monro was certainly one of those singers. He just eases along the lyrics and makes you feel the exquisite pain of lost love.
Thanks so much xNYerx for posting these memorable yet wistful songs of MM. I reflect on those young hot years when music enhanced our lives. and dreams. SIGH!
Here you are again, xNYerx. And with another of my all time favorite love songs sung by one of the two best singers ever in the business. Thanks so much for posting this gem. As always, your taste is impeccable. Another all time great song sung by one of the best singers ever to sing a beautiful song and do it flawlessly. How neat. How nice.
The great MM was so popular in the Philippines in the 70's. To this day, listening to his music makes anyone fall in love all over again. A truly feel-good singer, be it happy or sad song. Thanks for sharing this . Enjoying all your postings of MM immensely.
These are very beautiful pieces of work, xNYerx! The evocative nature of the pictures are in perfect harmony with Monro's heavenly voice. Well, most of the pictures. (smile)
The point is, it's a great effort and a great tribute.
"I find it very difficult to pick out one of Matt's performances as being my favorite. The point is that I have never heard a Matt Monro recording that wasn't of the highest taste and sensitivity".
Didn't know he sang this song, too. Absolutely wonderful version. It has become one of my favorites. Matt's voice is just superb in this. Thank you so much for uploading.
wonderful voice lovely song,thank you so much.
