Matt Monro Forum

Wow !!! watching Dickinson's Deal this afternoon and this advert with Matt singing A large part of Born Free... Fantastic !!!

That is a new one-I wonder if Michele knew it was in the pipeline. I guess they have to get permission to use the song.

Well, after hearing this version again, there is doubt as to whether this is Matt singing on this advert, even though he has been named as the singer. If it isn't he is a very good impersonater. Keith has posted his thoughts on the lounge thread, and Harry immediately had his doubts when he heard it, to begin with the intro to the song is suspect, but whatever the case, the speed has been accelerated. Anyway if anyone wants to see the advert go to

They don't have to ask Michele's permission - In this case it would be Capitol - so she won't know. I only found out myself whist channel hopping at tea time today!

I will of course be letting her know.

Just gave it a listen and it is definitely Matt singing............but someone must have given him a dose of helium beforehand

I heard it yesterday and thought that it was Matt singing.

I heard this last night too--and have to admit, that I did wonder if it was Matt, as it did not sound the same, but by the end I was fairly convinced that it was Matt.

Yes, regardless, I'm sure the advertisers would never contemplate using Matt's name and voice fraudulently, and it would take a lifetime to find another voice to impersonate Matt's.

We have listened carefully to this advert and we are of the opinion that it is definitely Matt singing.

The one thing they are guilty of is that they spelt Matt's name wrong in the write up but then again that's nothing new!

Have just seen it again after Loose Women. It will probably be on a few times again this afternoon.

Yep definately Matt

I heard it this afternoon and am convinced it is Matt, although it seems to be played a little faster.

Here it is again

Thanks for that Robert

Now i've seen it properly I can say that it is 100% Matt but time compressed to make it faster - makes his vibrato a bit over pronounced!

Heaven knows what Michele will make of it!

I first heard it last week and thought it was Matt but then thought it wasn't
but then in parts it sounds like him and then does'nt, I finished up deciding it
was'nt each time I have heard it, so I am wrong, anyway it is nice to know his voice is back on telly again.
