Although Matt was more or less 'before my time', my sister always said that I was born in the wrong decade
To me, Matt Monro was and still remains the best male vocalist ever. I can't tell you how much pleasure I get from listening to his CDs and vinyl (and not to mention singing along - pretending I'm Matt Monro). I love his phrasing, his power, perfect pitch...I could go on and on.It's also great to hear (see?) talk about Matt Jr. I was Googling him 3 or four months ago and couldn't find much of anything.
That's about it for now. I'm looking forward to examining the entire site over the coming days!
Yes, I would agree with the things you say. I have always felt that pound for pound Matt was by far the best male vocalist there has been. I think you are absolutely spot on when you say about phrasing, power, perfect pitch, etc as I think they were such great qualities of Matt's as a vocalist. He also had a great understanding of a song he was singing and how to deliver it and that came through in every line he sung. Wonderful!
