Not finding many up tempo songs on your lists, Robert. I think I'll Take Romance is the only one. I love his ballads but also like the quicker ones. Hoping to at least see Let Me Sing and I'm Happy, a sensational Colin Keyes arrangement.

[paul jh]

Am I the only one who likes Matt singing Chatanooga Choo Choo? I bought that years ago on an MM compilation cassette and I'm sure I still have it - in the loft.

It is a fine track, but it wouldn't make my top 75 MM records. I grew up listening to the Glenn Miller record with that fabulous arrangement, and it's superior to the Matt Monro recording.

[ROBERT M.]

Paul, I do like most of Matts quicker uptempo songs .................. I also listed This Is the Life and Prisoner of Love two more uptempo songs .................but I much prefer Matt singing ballads ...........Matts diction and glorious tones are just perfect to sing ballads

[ROBERT M.]

Having played Disc 2 of the Rarer Monro a few times I must add both

The Folks Who Live On the Hill

and

Younger Than Springtime

to my list

Peggy Lee sings the ultimate recording of The Folks Who Live On the Hill .....................but Matts truly amazing "live" version of the song runs Peggy Lee very close indeed.

Another "live" recording of Matt singing Younger Than Springtime from South Pacific is just sublime. Both are from 1961 when Matts vocal powers were truly awesome
