A New CD out for Children In Need called TERRY WOGAN A CELEBRATION OF MUSIC including PORTRAIT OF MY LOVE by our Matt

Yes, I noticed this cd advertised last night Sandra. Great choice of song, I hope it does well for Children In Need. A nice tribute to Terry as well, very much missed.

https://www.amazon.co.uk/Terry-Wogan-Ce ... erry+wogan ................Katie Melua and Eva Cassidy
had to be on the CD too ...........but Alexander Armstrong with On Days like These ? .............Jim Reeves song I Wont Forget ??? (You) ...............but Matt and Frank are coupled together at the end of CD 2 along with Terry's Floral Dance

In my humble opinion Alexander Armstrong makes On Days Like These sound an awful dirge and NOTHING NOTHING like the wonderful version by Matt

I hope Eman is not reading this, but I totally agree with you Sandra..........how many other singers can improve on Matts versions of songs...........NONE

Ken Bruce -Tracks of My Years today with comedian Rufus Hound.
He chose 'We're Gonna Change The World by Matt' and spoke words to the effect that he grew up listening to crooners and couldn't believe why Matt isn't listed with the greats as he is a forgotten gem from those who don't know of his work

This has always been one of my Matt favourites, I even have the single.
