Songs I wish I could hear sung by Matt.

[Marian]

I have several Glen Campbell albums and have always liked his songs.
He shares one album with Matt, but I don't have it, yet!

Glen Campbell has had great songwriters Gray. We have several of his albums. He is still making occasional appearances, and is working on a new Cd with Jimmy Webb.

one of my favourite songs of Glen Campbell [after Dreams of the Everyday Housewife" is a song called "The World I used to know"--a really nice song---not sure who wrote it.

[Lena & Harry Smith]

That was written by Rod Mc Kuen Marian.
One of Glens very first best known songs "Gentle On My MinD" wasn't intended for release and was just submitted as a demo, but Capital released it.

Hi, Marian, Re the Surrey with the Fringe on Top.
The album I referred to in my Nat & Matt posting
includes a memorably lively performance of the song by Nat,
which builds, in ascending key changes, to a stunning finale.

Hi Marian(a)
There is one song in particular I would have loved
to have heard Matt sing, namely Vino De Amor, with guitar
and violin accompaniment. The song and singer would
have been sublimely matched.

I do not think I know that song--does it have an English title--I guess logically it should be "Wine of Love" or something similar, but that does not ring a bell either.

[Lena & Harry Smith]

Andy Williams has made a recording of Vino De Amor. You can hear it on YOU TUBE. Pretty mournful I thought.

[keithgood838]

Well done, L&H, your are the cavalry charging
to the rescue, yet again.
I'm surprised to hear that you didn't like the Andy
Williams' version. Marian(a), I think it is a Spanish
title meaning, as you say, Wine of Love. I think the
consonant sounds, in particular, would have gone
down like a good vintage presented in Matt's mellow
tones. Cheers!

Here's another one I bought to the top--so come on you new members, let us know what you think.

As many as you like-but only 1 at a time.

Mariana - You brought about another topic....but I wish Matt would have had recorded his version of:

THE WIND BENEATH MY WINGS (First recorded by Roger Whitaker in 1982)...It was late in Matt's career, but I am sure he could have sung it great!

[ROBERT M.]

Matt did sing Beautiful Noise from the mid 80's

[bigdipper]

I think i would have loved to hear Matt sing Solitaire his voice would of done this song well i think

[mariana44]

I would love to hear Matt sing anything from Neil Sedaka--I just love all his songs-and there are lots that would have suited Matt's voice.

Plus some that wouldn't---"I go ape" for example.

[ROBERT M.]

Yes Marian, I can just image Matt singing Laughter In the Rain
