Hi Gary, Yes we heard the Russell Davies prog.
E.M.I. Producer George Martin asked Matt to make a demonstration disc for Peter Sellers who wanted to copy the Sinatra voice and style to make an album.
It was such a good guide and Peter Sellars couldn't improve on it himself so Matt's voice was included under the name of Fred Flange.
The album was called "Songs for Swinging Sellars."

Yes, Michele it's the age thing again, and sorry Gary, we didn't reply to the actual question.
Our brains are dulling. Up late half watching the Pittsburg Steelers Superbowl struggling!!
'YOU KEEP ME SWINGIN''
