Matt Monro Forum

An article about Don Black in todays Daily Express where he mentions Matt.
He is also due on Steve Wrights programme today.

One of my claims to fame, years ago I was waiting for a friend outside a tube station and Don Black passed me. Les Reed also walked by me with a colleague and smiled when he saw I knew who he was, and ANOTHER time in London I was walking down Oxford Street when a man got out a car and walked around the corner, it was Adam Faith.

Also Marian I don't know if I ever mentioned this but I swear I saw Jack Jones in an underground station also many years ago we passed like ships in the night.

It was a nice interview with Steve Wright.

He said that he was a great friend of Matt and his career only took off when Matt asked him to write the lyrics to a Eurovision song that Matt loved,as we know called Warum Nur Warum and then Walk Away.
They then played Walk Away.

He was mainly on to talk about a concert he is doing on October 3rd at the Royal Festival Hall called 'A Life In Song' introduced by Michael Grade.

It sounds a fabulous show.We may get to see /hear it as the BBC are recording it.

I love Walk Away, ,Brenda Lee also recorded a great version.

Brenda Lee's version is a duet with The Casuals .................http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QfBZ2i0-ZcI

That is a really nice version

That's not the version I have, I have a feeling it's on the LP she did with Pete Fountain but I'd have to check.
