David Jacobs collection with Matt.

[Lena & Harry Smith]

Haven't been able to catch up on the weekend's programmes yet Robert, but from those earlier recordings there was a big difference with Matt's phrasing.

[ROBERT M.]

An early Matt track on David Jacobs show ..............the final song in Davids common denominator

[mariana44]

I can't believe that-I heard the begiinning of The Common Demoninator--next thing it was morning !!!

[Sandra]

Me too Marian!Just listened again it was 'Dancing With Tears In My Eyes'
a beautiful early easy listening version by Matt.
One of our favourites too

[ROBERT M.]

David played Matt's - I'm Glad There is You - tonight but he does play this song more often than others...............does DJ have a copy of the Rare Monro I wonder ?

[mariana44]

I did it again-fell asleep and missed it !!!

[lori]

The only way I have been aquainted with David Jacobs is on the Dvd with Matt AnEvening With Matt Monro... I detect in his voice how much he loved Matt and said England had lost their greatest voice. How true!! I just wanted to connect and say Hi to everyone ... and like David ... I am and will be always true to Matt.... Also as for Bobby Darin... Did any of you see Kevin Spacey in Beyond The Sea... Bobby's life story ? Best wishes to all

[Lena & Harry Smith]

Hi Lori, yes, David Jacobs does love and respect Matt and Matt's music, and he shows that in the DVD.
We did see Kevin Spacey in the film Beyond The Sea. Some thought that he was a little old for this Bobby Daron role, but he did quite well and used his own voice which is rare for movies of this kind.
Hope you are well Lori.
We have been basking in sunshine these past few days, but it's a little cloudy this morning.

[ROBERT M.]

David played one of Matts earlier tracks tonight, from the Matt sings album I was on the phone and cannot remember the exact song but DJ gave another mention of the book

[Lena & Harry Smith]

It was ,,The One I Love Belongs To Somebody Else Robert.
We were caught up with late calls last night too, so are just playing it back

[ROBERT M.]

Matt singing the beautiful The Shadow of Your Smile right now on the DJ collection

[Lena & Harry Smith]

Will have to play it back Robert. We have been watching a programme about Blackpool on BBC 4 plus a film in between then more Blackpool and theN a fantastic programme on Jazz, including the Big Bands. Been Spoilt tonight . !!!

[ROBERT M.]

.................yes L&H, I listened to Russell Davies and David Jacobs, then I was listening to String of Pearls on listen again, but it was still last weeks show .................so I'm now watching/listening to the Rogers and Hammerstein programme from yesterday

[mariana44]

I cannot believe I missed Matt again---I remember David Jacobs saying "Hello there"--then I was fast asleep !!!

I spotted the swing programme on BBC4, so managed to tape that, but not watched it yet.

Marian -- The good thing is that you slept through Robert Goulet. I was able to fast-forward through him. But the rest of the programme was excellent.

Robert -- I hope you enjoyed Margaret Whiting with Frank DeVol, one of the many great arrangers from that period and from my hometown.

The programme was worth it just to hear Matt Monro singing The Shadow of Your Smile. This song keeps rising on my list of favourite MM recordings.

I also enjoyed Stanley Black's recording of Here's That Rainy Day and wasn't Gordon MacRae's Dancing In the Dark spectacular?! He is an amazing singer.
