Matt Monro Forum

Hi Lindy, Matt's 'Bridge Over Troubled Water' is an absolutely excellent version of the song. It's one which has mainly passed me by, having it on a couple of albums I've just listened to it in the background as the discs have played. However, I gave it a full listen last night on my iPod as I was f...

Excellent update -as always!

Although the credit card fiasco sounds horrific!!

I was so pleased to get this -if only for 'The Last Farewell' in excellent sound quality!

Great release though! -as always!

Absolutely, but still the moderation is far too poor!

I was very surprised to see the show on YouTube! I've had a copy of this show for over a year, but have kept the secret well to my chest after speaking to Michele about it, and not wanting any trouble/knock-on-effect for any of her wonderful releases. I don't know where these things turn up from to ...

I heard it too and agree that they weren't 'inane' but in context to the story he told before the songs about the sunshine etc. It's his style of presenting though.

Very sad news indeed. A great talent to the music world who will live on in all our memories through the wonderful songs he penned.

Hi all Next week on ITV there is a documentary about the Born Free lion cub 'Elsa' and is tracing what happened to her after the film etc. I think it'll be avery high possibility that they'll be playing at least a snippet of the track in the programme! Also one night next week the film 'The Quiller ...

No problem

It's frequently on all the channels it seems at the moment, I've seen it loads recently!

I even had a friend call me the other day to put More4 on because 'I think that singer you like is on an advert'!

Gray, I've seen that advert on a few occasions this week on different Sky channels!

Also spotted the one during Emmerdale too. Very impressed!

If they don't send you a copy Richard, I'll send you my magazine after I've finished with it!
