This clip was shot in glorious colour on location in London and Rome, this 1966 film feature was originally screened as a support feature in the cinemas. This is my favorite song of Matt.
A very underrated singer of his time Matt was as good if not better than anything Hollywood could offer . . . not bad for a guy who used to be a bus driver in the UK RIP Matt Munro.
Even Frank Sinatra said he was the best singer he had ever heard just a shame he was taken away so early at least we able to still listen to him never will be forgotten and always admired
The sad untimely passing of Matt Monro left a big void in the wonderful but now forgotten songs of yesteryear. He was one of the last of the great crooners and was sensational. He is unforgettable and sadly missed..
@@nancyphillips140It was the same for me also hearing that wonderful song by Matt Monro walk away back in the summer of 1965 playing it many times on the rockola jukebox ♡
Because they actually sang. They're are singers that good out there, but the current style dictates an okay voice that can be enhanced and altered. I miss singers, actual singers.
I was twice fortunate to meet and chat with Matt when I was living in Canada. Even though they were a year apart this lovely man remembered me the second time and made me feel so welcome! Not only was he a fantastic Singer but a lovely man!! Dennis
You are so very right, these classics will never come again, they are so pure, & sung with depth. . Oh, don't forget the orchestral backing it helps to make these great songs even greater ... Peggy Wood (Aotearoa)
Yes, you are so right. The Composer, the lyricist, the Arranger, the Orchestra, the Singer. They are all of equal importance but it is the singer who gets all the kudos. The rest are rarely if ever mentioned.
No, my friend, not wine. A champagne cognac or, maybe, an Islay whisky... He draws you in, makes you think he's not worth the effort when the tremble starts on the key change, then gets better than impressive, you say, 'Wow! This singing bus driver turned soldier really knows how to tell a story in song.' You realise, just as with strong spirits, that he knows his life and your's has been enhanced by his and then you cry... And amazingly feel better. How on Earth does that work? Regards.
Matt remains a true icon to those who love and appreciate those excellent romantic songs of the good old days.Those were the times when the world was beautiful and safe .
The World was never safe. But another time, true romances werent flung off for the passing lusts of the moment. Matt stayed faithful to his wife for life

I wish someone could make a film about this great man - if anyone deserves such a legacy surely he does, with the contribution he's made to the world of music & the enjoyment he's given to millions. Problem is which actor could come anywhere close when it comes to the singing?
This man is blessed with a talent few singers have. His sense of melody and range, when holding a note, is majestic. Very few can sing with this caliber of quality. What a shame the world "walked away, walked on" from this beautiful style of music that both enriches and soothes the soul.
As a 52 year old man, I inherited my love of Matt Monro's voice from my dad's LP's (and also from watching Born Free when I was a kid - he sang the theme tune). For about the last 7 years I have had the Best of Matt Monro CD in my car on continual loop. Cannot get enough of his understated brilliance.

Yes I love the song. It always brings tears to my eyes. His voice......WOW. My parents always played cassettes of him. I am now 61 years and yesterday I bought for 0,50€ a beautiful CD of Matt in a charity shop.
Yes, this is a truly beautiful song - so haunting and Matt's rich velvety voice is superb - the intro is awesome, leading you into the lovely melody. Sheer excellence!
I caught the train the other day and it was packed to the rafters, I was listening to Matt Monro through my head phones and became lost in the music. His voice was so rich and full of character just like the roast pork and beer that I had the night before. I failed to notice that I was farting right next to an elderly woman sitting beside me but to make matters worse whilst I was passing wind poos came out and dribbled from my seat to hers. This started a chain reaction of vomiting and the train had to be cancelled at the next stop but it was okay because I parked my purple car next to a brown one that was the same colour of the stain I left on the seat.
I agree with everyone comments. he was with dout greatest singer to come out of the uk . the present ones we have to day would never make fist step on the ladder
Different more modern genres certainly do as far as talent goes, but since each decade has their own culture and technology it's very hard to replicate. Look at the revival of 90s style rave music and how many nostalgia albums have come out atd it never quite sounds right even though it's the same talented producers from back in the day.
I'm now78 and haven't heard anyone come even close to Matt. Boy oh boy what a singer . Does it all own his own , doesn't need scantily clad girls. Miss you Matt
llanbradach YOU HAVE GREAT TASTE ILLANBRADACH. HAD THE GREAT PLEASURE OF SEEING MATT IN CONCERT IN THE 70 TS IN DUBLIN IRELAND BEST WISHES. CECIL ROWLEY.
John? A few years ago i got into Matt Monro thanks to my Mum,i was just amazed by this man's singing he was note and pitch perfect....well my dear mum passed away in April this year and we played one of her favourite Matt songs,''Softly as i Leave You' and at her service when Softly was played it was i have to say so emotional.....and you know what to this day i myself listen to Matt every day....love his music and love that song of his played at mum's service.Matt Monro ❤️❤️
I was on holiday in Malta many years ago and a very dear friend stood up in bar and sang 'Walk Away' as a homage to Matt. I remember it well. Beautifully sang. No where as good as Matt though. RIP Matt. Taken too soon ❤
They played this a thousand times a day, in the radios of the Philippines as well as SINGERS in the entire PHILIPPINES was a LOVER for the ARTISTRY of the Great MATT MONRO.
To those who composed/created those magnificently beautiful Matt Monro songs, my deepest thanks ! Its been as almost always the composer/s remain unappreciated.
Exceptional.... apparently went to have his voice trained but was told to walk away as he had the most perfect natural pitch and breathing nothing they could do to improve it.
Am 60 now, plays guitar and keyboard, sometimes perform socially for friends. But when I was a 6-7 year old kid, not knowing anything about music, I used to play Matt Monroe's records that my brother in law had in his collction. It felt so so soothing and nice. Beautiful voice indeed !
I truly believe there has never been now or at any time a singer that could hold a note like Matt.You listen to ANY of his songs they are pitch perfect.His enduring legacy will live on whenever or wherever someone plays them.You were a. true gentleman and the loss still is hard to bear
People pretend to forget everything..all it takes is a song that brings back tons of memories..every event of life leaves an indelible impact on our life which will never fade away
Wow!! I'm 49 and love his music and the VOICE!!!! One person I wish I could have seen in concert. I love you......and thanks for making a country boy have a little class.
How can there be 375 people who are so soul dead that they can downvote this ultimate singer? Even if you are not a fan of his style, you can't fault his quality and top talent. One of the very best.
I met this wonderful man, many years ago, took time to have a chit chat, a gentleman of his time, one of the most wonderful singers of all time. ❤️❤️🙏🙏📕📕
Matt Monroe is still my old fella's favorite singer. This particular song was played in our house a lot when I was a kid in the 60s. The music and Matt's voice, though seem to hide the fact that he's trying to get rid of a one night stand lol
Frank Harwood I loved and lost Jayne Crofts, I was only 15 Jayne was 14, I heard 2 yrs ago from her mum Jayne had passed on, It broke my heart, I'm married to a lovely woman and I'm 62 now but I hope I will meet Jayne one day.
That is hardly surprising because Sinatra made a point of putting over every single word clearly. Matt Monro did just that with such a high degree of clarity that it is hardly surprising that a very high number of diverse films in his time had him singing their theme songs.... imagine that voice with every word crystal clear floating round the auditorium as the opening credits rolled over the big screen. There was never so good a match.
Maybe you haven't heard enough of his great body of work. Best recordings of Skylark and ALL of Hoagy Carmichael's songs. Best recording of To Dream the Impossible Dream, Who Can I Turn To?, his recording of Sir George Martin's beautiful There's a Place, best recording of Laura, and Portrait of My Love, and Softly, and BORN FREE! Best recording by far of The Shadow of Your Smile, Other People, and I Get Along Without You Very Well....
A voice like silk, pure & smooth, such a joy to listen to & in my mind I am still the beautiful successful Ballroom Dancer I was in the 1960's, moving with grace & elegance . Songs such as this made it so very easy to be just that. Now I am in my 70's & my body is breaking down bit by bit. Thank you Mr Monro for the beautiful memories that keep me happy through the on-going pain, you are truly a blessing.. Peggy Wood (Aotearoa)
i love the beautiful lady that he's singing to!!! what a great voice he has! I can't help but admire the lady he sings to! wow, how fun and lovely she is ,and what a great song and feel he puts forth! Love it. A really good feeling to love . I love the good feel to this song. Good stuff!
Was he a bus driver, that's great information, I heard of Frank Sinatra, daughter Nancy, but never Matt Munro, in case it's his voice that was natural & he made a good use of his.
I was eight years old when I met Matt monroe with my father .He was going into a public house across from the recording studio he had been recording in . My father was to shy to ask for his autograph and suggested I do it for him , I was just too shy as well . Anyway my father decided rather than lose the autograph he asked for it . Matt monroe was a real gentleman if I can remember correctly . I hadn’t a clue who he was . My father died in a hospital waiting room that night of a heart attack and I was bereft . I have loved Matt monroe ever since and his voice is unequivocally the finest Britain has ever had .. Every time I see him he reminds me of Reg Varney from on the busses ..? 😂 I am 56 now and still have goosebumps when I hear Matt . David
Anyone else in 2024 listening to this masterpiece!!! I hope so! ❤😊👍
Yes, me! Enjoy x
Me. Matt Monro was one of my dad’s favourites. Over shadowed by Perry Como, Sammy Davis Jnr and others. He deserved more recognition than he got 🙏❤️
Yes, me. What a voice! ♥
Orangnya juga ganteng dan elegant.
What do you talkin abou in listening to this song everyday
A very underrated singer of his time Matt was as good if not better than anything Hollywood could offer . . . not bad for a guy who used to be a bus driver in the UK RIP Matt Munro.

He was shaped like a potato that's why he didn't become that famous.
@@daviddevonport127😢😮
I totally agree en better than Michael Buble😢
He was not underrated. He was very successful and had several hits. Even Frank Sinatra said he was brilliant.
One of the finest singers of all time.

WHY do songs of the 60's in particular, touch the heart so much?
Brilliant
Variety is the spice of life, and the 60s had it. Sooo many different singers. And bands.
because these songs lyrics have much meaningfu💖l than millennium year songs
Well all I can say is that all song from the 60s were very meaningful.it had a great impact on their daily lives too.
Listening to it right now in California. Reminds me after listening Never My Love from the Association. Yes, great songs of the oldies never fade.
Matt Munro was the greatest power ballad singer of the 1960s. Forever remembered.......
Yes.he whas.as well as Nat.xx
Dennis Hanna aunmwe in vqwnuxw
I would not describe this as a "power ballad". Too reflective.
Jim Reeves is definitly in Matt´s caliber-
Jim is quite different from Matt. He is a special entity, and belongs to the unrepeatable category. Just like Matt!
What a voice ….. sends chills down everyone’s back..!!!
Today's so called stars........listen and weep.....you'll never be this good!!!!
I totally agree, but do the public today even understand a great ballad artist?
Totally agree, todays artists if thats what we can call them don`t hold a torch to these artists.
@@rosechris48 You bet...all computer assisted throat singers.....no soul or skill.
Even Frank sinatra said matt was the better singer. Damn right he was. Incredible voice

In a time when people were nice & looked after one another, not like the greedy selfish society of today!

They can just have Matt's songs played
But Matt's company might charge too much to share the rights.

Well put I don't think anyone could
For anyone whose heart has been broken, this is the song. Beautiful.
This man is blessed with a talent few singers have. His sense of melody and range, when holding a note, is majestic. Very few can sing with this caliber of quality. What a shame the world "walked away, walked on" from this beautiful style of music that both enriches and soothes the soul.
Love Matt Monro what a terrific voice he had.wish he was still with us.
I am 26 years old but I am an old soul man. I love to listen to this kind of music and love to see black and white pictures🥰🥰
You are different indeed. I love this!
As a 52 year old man, I inherited my love of Matt Monro's voice from my dad's LP's (and also from watching Born Free when I was a kid - he sang the theme tune).

I have been a fan of Mat Monroe since I first heard him sing in the late 1960s and I believe he is one of the very best crooner's in the world
Yes, this is a truly beautiful song - so haunting and Matt's rich velvety voice is superb - the intro is awesome, leading you into the lovely melody. Sheer excellence!

The beauty n pathos of this song, framed by Matt's beautiful voice n impeccable delivery truly brings tears to my eyes.
Singers singer 👍🏻 mr golden voice. True talent. It doesn’t matter what year it is you’re listening to this ..👍🏻
Beautiful brings back sooo many memories some very sad xxx ❤❤
Wonderful song...pity there is no music like this anymore.
My favourite Matt Munro offering by far. What a beautiful song and what a voice Matt had. He left us far too early with many songs not sung...
Best ever British male singer of any era. What a voice, admired by Frank Sinatra.
lovely voice.
Correction Butch 78..........The best male singer ever...period!
Butch 78. Butch I was just going to exactly the same thing mate 👍
@John Bowkett That's just ignorance you're spewing.
John Bowkett. Hey John just ignore him. He clearly is just desperate to get a response. Let him stay all alone in his dark little bedroom
A lovely song by a great singer. Just another reason why the music of the 60's will never ever be equalled, it lives forever.

Was he a bus driver, that's great information, I heard of Frank Sinatra, daughter Nancy, but never Matt Munro, in case it's his voice that was natural & he made a good use of his.
@@anuradhainamdar8967 Yes, his name was Terry Parsons and he started life as a bus driver.

I was eight years old when I met Matt monroe with my father .He was going into a public house across from the recording studio he had been recording in .
My father was to shy to ask for his autograph and suggested I do it for him , I was just too shy as well .
Anyway my father decided rather than lose the autograph he asked for it .
Matt monroe was a real gentleman if I can remember correctly . I hadn’t a clue who he was .
My father died in a hospital waiting room that night of a heart attack and I was bereft .
I have loved Matt monroe ever since and his voice is unequivocally the finest Britain has ever had ..
Every time I see him he reminds me of Reg Varney from on the busses ..? 😂
I am 56 now and still have goosebumps when I hear Matt .

Forever the best singer, exceptional voice. Love all his songs. Listen to them often.
His voice is so mellow that’s why I love all his songs.
He spoke the king/Queens English as did Sinatra, Bennett, Davis, and maybe one or 2 others
