Matt Monro Forum

This game lets you tell us all your favourite artists be it solo singers or groups .............you can only give ONE artist at a time .............but you can come back time after time to give us many more of your favourite artists.................. ALSO............when you name your artist's please give us two or three of your favourite songs by that particular artist .....................

Matt Monro is my first one................Matt is my very favourite artist without a doubt ......................Three of my favourite songs by Matt are (it is so very hard to choose as there so any great songs to choose from) ....................1. Maria Matts glorious rendition of the song from West Side Story.................2. The much forgotten about beautiful single but the song wasn't a hit for Matt Where In the World .................3. Portrait of My Love Matts first fantastic chart single ................but Ebb Tide, More, Love Is a Many Splendored Thing and Friendly Persuasion all came very close .................................now lets hear your favourite artists too

I have a lot of favourites, but my favourite group would have to be The Seekers. Probably going way back to my childhood, as my parents had an e.p of theirs.
My all time top song is The Carnival Is Over, I just love that song, in fact it is one of my favourite songs of all time. Then perhaps the lovely Colours Of My Life, then When Will The Good Apples Fall. Walk With Me and Someday One Day close behind.

I will come to the obvious one later (Dusty) but I will start with my friend Jackie Trent and some of my favourites are :-
It's All In The Way You Look At Life
Humming Bird
Such A Small Love

Good start guys and gals .........we want Sandra to join in now and when Eman is hopefully feeling better we want to hear Emans choices too

Cliff Richard
Ocean Deep
Wired For Sound
All My Love

Karl, I love Wired For Sound

Vince Hill
Merci Cherie
Look Around (And You'll Find Me There)
Little Bluebird

Karl, Ocean Deep is one of my all time favourite Cliff songs. It was a #1 for the longest time in the Philippines.

My first artist : David Cassidy aka The Partridge Family
Only A Moment Ago
Daydreamer
Can't Go Home Again
I'll Never Get Over You
Rock Me Baby - Thank goodness Brotherhood of Man didn't release their version, which I thought was horrible.

John, Look Around by Vince Hill is sublime

Eman your David Cassidy/Partridge Family songs are not all the obvious ones

After Matt of course

Johnny Mathis :
My Love For You
Small World
A Lovely Way To Spend An Evening

Dusty
I Only Want To Be With You
I Can't Make It Alone
If You Go Away

Sandra don't forget to give us your Matt selections too, which I am looking forward to reading

Karl, I thought you weren't keen on If You Go Away, or is it just when other artist's sing the song ? .......and can you give us a list of Dusty songs that nearly reached your top three

Andy Williams
Sad
Can't Help Falling In Love
If I Could Only Go Back Again
