The One and Only...MM

Post by GregT » Mon Nov 08, 2010 8:35 am

Hi Monrovians,
Terry Parsons, Al Jordan,Matt Monro , call him what you will. He is undoubtedly The Singers' Singer.
I may have had a scotch or two...but who hasn't for goodness sake.
I rarely ramble on this site..but just have to reiterate my belief that Matt Monro is the greatest vocal talent of his generation, and hopefully future generations.
I recently heard two songs on local radio which only reinforce this belief.
1/. Nat King Cole singing "A Cottage for Sale"... pitiful.. It was sung totally without feeling, almost as if the singer was GLAD it was all over.
Only Matts version had the pathos demanded by this song.
2/. Harry Connick Jnr. singing "Charade" ...my GOD. This guy is definitely on something. Too fast..Too upbeat...too bad.
Once again trumped my Mr. Matt Monro.
Time for a Bex and a lie down..
Love to All...(hic)

Yes indeed Robert, a day of sadness and memories, but also looking forward to the future and a brand new release today.
Thinking of Michele, Matt and Max on another difficult day for the Monro family.

Our thoughts are particularly with Michele, Matt Jnr, and Max today, and of course not forgetting dear Mickie as we all remember the voice that continues to bring us so much joy and pleasure.

Our thoughts too are with Michele, Matt Jnr and Max on Matt's 26th Anniversary.

We are so grateful that Matt's music lives on and will continue to do so for generations to come.

We have ordered the new CD from HMV but it hasn't arrived yet!
