Jeff Hooper - Matt Monro Medley

[hpooch]

Has anyone seen or heard Jeff Hooper in the last 2-3 years? I just received his CD from Amazon.com/uk titled "As Long As I'm Singing", re-released on the Silverword Archive Collection earlier this year. Included in this CD is a 4-song medley of Matt Monro hits done wonderfully by Jeff.
I saw Jeff in person back in 1992-93 when he sang with the Syd Lawrence Orchestra and he always included 2 or 3 songs by Matt during his stage performance. He related a story about the time in 1982 when he first met Matt and was shown how to tie a Bow-Tie by Matt in the hotel swimming pool where they were both staying. I always thought Jeff had a wonderful stage presence and a better than average voice, and I prefer him over Peter Grant whose CD I just received last month. Any info about Jeff would be greatly appreciated. Thanks a Bunch!
