    Sadly we'll never hear a finer male voice again . Matt was just simply outstanding , there has never been anyone to touch him. And to think that dreaded illness took him at only 54. God rest his soul, he's missed so much . RIP Matt.

I love you Mr Monroe, you will constantly inspire, uplift and bring bliss and joy into the ears and hearts of millions of people till the end of the world and beyond!.

    Hello from the West Midlands
    My late parents had a small collection of vinyl albums including Matt Monro sings Hoagy Carmichael recorded in 1962. Almost 60 years old and the sound quality is wonderful.
    I do try and "seek out" other albums from local charity shops and antique fairs but have not seen any yet.
    This song is one of my top 5 favourite songs Matt sings. Every time i listen to it i just start crying. I cannot explain why but i do. The film was aired last week on TV and every time i watch it i cry.
    Such wonderful lyrics by Don and the music by the ICONIC John Barry. What more can i say

      Matt Monro; The Boy from Shoreditch
      It was a series of 4 interviews
      I recommend you listen to it
      Again from what I remember from them is a ‘fall out’ between Matt and Don Black to do with BORN FREE and Don in America accepting the Oscar in 1967
