THE MUSIC PLAYED - Bobbikins

The Music Played is one of Matt Monro's pop standard song I never outgrow to listen.

ABOUT MATT MONRO:

MATT MONRO (1 December 1930 - 7 February 1985) was an English Singer who became one of the Most Popular Entertainers on the international music scene during the 1960s. Throughout his 30-year career, MATT filled cabarets, nightclubs, music halls, and stadiums in Australia, Japan, the Philippines, and Hong Kong to Africa, the Middle East, Europe, and the Americas. MATT sold more than 100 million records during his lifetime.

Monro achieved fame in the United States when "My Kind of Girl" (1961) and "Walk Away" (1964) hit the Top 40. In 1966, following the death of Nat King Cole, EMI moved Monro from Parlophone to Capitol. After relocating to California and recording several albums with American arrangers, Monro returned to the UK and began appearing on EMI's Columbia label, his final U.S. album release being Close To You in 1970. This LP contained the uncharted (in the US) but widely played "We're Gonna Change The World", a semi-satirical song about women's liberation.

MATT continued touring and recording until just before his death, releasing a single and promoting it throughout the UK and Australia in 1984. In one of his final appearances he praised Boy George, noting the importance of quality recordings in all musical genres.

MATT MONRO died from liver cancer in 1985 at the Cromwell Hospital, Ealing, London, leaving a widow, Mickie, and three children: Mitchell, Michele, and Matthew.
