    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..

      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.

      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.

      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.

      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.
