I watched the taping at London's(now defunct)Talk Of The Town of an ITV Special starring Tony Bennett with guests including Matt in 1972. Featuring the music of Robert Farnon.
Matt sang:-
The Second Time around &
Time After Time
Talk of the Town

Hi Mark, I thought the shows with Bennett were fantastic. It is interesting that dad and Tony were the only two performers to work the Talk of the Town a record breaking number of times. Unfortunately it was a draw as the venue was closed.
There were three Bennett shows taped for Thames with dad performing as special guest a whopping three times. The first show dad performed Second Time Around & Time After Time and a duet of both of them singing I Want To Be Happy. The second show dad sang It Was A Very Good Year/This Is All I Ask and the duet was Lullaby of Broadway and finally dad sang Georgia On My Mind & Singin' In The Rain and the duet was Chicago. Colin Keyes performed at all three shows.
It is one of my fondest memories.

Watched the DVD 5 times in very short space of time. What a magical singer and performer. Is there anywhere I can get hold of the sheet music for Matt's repertoire?
to see matt live
