Matt Monro Forum

Had this cd/dvd fir some time now. A nice collection of songs and I have to say the dvd is truly excellent. A perfect showcase of the Matt Monro I first remember as a child. Play the dvd all the time. Wonderful.

Very sad to hear the news this morning that Al had died. A great singer of such fine vocal quality right through the years. A true gentleman too. Another from the era of the 'true' singers. Bless you Al.

Fantastic! Thanks for posting the info Mark.

Very saddened to have woken up to the news this morning. :cry: Great, great singer - easily the greatest of his generation. Luciano Pavarotti did more than anyone to bring classical music to people who maybe other wise wouldn't have been drawn to it. Managed to catch the last 30 minutes of the BBC2 ...

Yes Mark, I have :D Superb! Went to the Bridgewater Hall on Friday. Thought Andy looked very well and sang very well too :D Very pleased for him that the show went extremely well. The standing ovation and endless cheering were well deserved and clearly greatly appreciated by Mr W. So pleased to find...

Got this cd at last. Superb. Really enjoyed listening to each and every one of the songs on this cd. I already have EN Espana on original LP anyway but it's still nice to have on cd too. Todo Pasara, Lo Que Quedo, Jean and Vete Por favor definite favourites. Really pleased Michele keeps getting all ...

Not been online for a while so ad to read you've not been well Michele. Hope you're feeling much better now anyway.
Best wishes,

Thanks for the information Hilary.
Would like to listen to that so I shall try to remember to do so on the 'listen again' facility.

Thanks for the information on the single Bill. Always been a Shirley Bassey fan. I think my great-grandad must have started that as she was his favourite. I saw earlier that Michael Eavis confirmed today that Dame Shirley is to play at that this years Glastonbury Festival. :D Amazing singer, amazing...

Not a bad guess Paul. According to the Radio 1 chart 'From Matt Monro with love' entered the chart at No 39.

I agree. Nicely put together, both videos are certainly worth a look.

Remembering today a very special artist. A unique song stylist who will always be very much missed. All good wishes go today to Matt's family, friends and fans. Thankfully Matt will always be with us through the wonderful catalogue of music he made in his lifetime. My Special thanks today must go to...

Heard the news at lunchtime. Sad day. I agree completely with your view Lena and Harry. Great great singer. Superb voice and a great singing style. Always loved how Frankie could use that voice of his to create such drama and tension in his singing. Such singers are unique. Very sad at his passing. ...

I agree Marian. Great advert. Showcases the cd perfectly. Love the soft, romantic air it has to it too!
Although I've got all but one of the tracks on the cd it is still an excellent cd for anyone's collection.
Thanks yet again Michele!

Certainly is a 'must have' cd.
