Re: 'SINATRA SINGING'
As an appetizer, have a look at this short clip of some singers interviewed before a Sinatra concert in 1962. There's Dame Shirley Bassey, Nelson Riddle and......our Matt Monro!

Yes.....Matt struck me as someone I could be friends with. He was down to earth and had no airs. I also love that chuckle. Sad that he is no longer with us.

Re: 'SINATRA SINGING'
Thanks for the link Terence. We really enjoyed watching the clip on YouTube.
Matt had such an easy going manner and from reading the book he made friends wherever he went with his down to earth, laid back approach.
