I caught it -hooray--he also said "~the Marvellous much missed Matt Monro". It sounded great, especially affter hearing Michael Ball, who I usually like--but that song did not suit him. Our forum friend Graham sings this, and sounds better than Michael did.

hubby and i thought Michael's version of Walk away was awful....and the others just not a patch on Matt...Mr Ball is usually great and when he sings Empty chairs in Les Mis i never fail to cry ....Softly As I Leave is so moving and i havnt heard Dons story...as you can see some of the lyrics are at the bottom of my posts ....
Softly, I will leave you softly
For my heart would break if you should wake and see me go.....

I think Michael is at his best when in his "Musical" mode---pop songs do not suit him on the whole, there are only a few that I really like him singing.
