Don Black on Radio 2

[Lena & Harry Smith]

Don played Matt's stunning ..."Somewhere" tonight. Those of us who attended the Matt Monro fan club at one of the Two meet-ups at the Beck Theatre will remember the moment when Michele showed a large screen with Matt singing this song.
After Matt's awesome final note, there was a deafening silence and not a dry eye in the house. An unforgettable moment.
And now we have Dusty singing "Yesterday When I was Young." Are you tuned in Karl ?
Now Don is playing Julie Rogers... Dons Sister-In-Law's very nice recording of Young and Foolish . I've always liked this song and like many remember Julie Rogers hit record "The Wedding". Don mentioned that Julie has recorded a new CD, and she's singing better than ever, so anyone who likes Julie Rogers that's one to look out for.
A great finish to the programme... Frank Sinatra... " It Never Entered My Mind ". LOVELY . !!

I missed every second last night-I might try and catch up on my mobile or tablet. More comfy than in my computer room.
I love "It never entered my mind" great song, but i cannot recall hearing Frank sing it. I love Jack jones version.

Yes,of course i remember Matt singing "Somewhere" at the Fan club Reunited. Just pure Magic ! Like the whole of all the meetings we had, special times !!

[Christine Hampshire]

It was lovely to hear Matt singing " Somewhere" on Don's show on Sunday and he said that was the best version of the song, which is very very true.

[mariana44]

I did catch up last night on my mobile,,doing some sewing in my cosy living room. Must do that again ! Great show !

[ROBERT M.]

Don played the lovely Matt ballad Beyond the Hill tonight

[mariana44]

I caught Matt last night--missed the end of the show though.

Marian(a) Frank Sinatra sings It Never entered My Mind on his Capitol album In The Wee Small Hours.

L&H I didn't heard Don Black play Dusty singing Yesterday When I Was Young but good for him as that's a rare Dusty track to be played on radio, I think the BBC are unaware that Dusty did make records afrer the 60's, the only later one's I hear from time to timem are the records she made with the Pet Shop Boys.

I never remember to listen to Don Black. Infact I rarely have the radio on at that time.

[mariana44]

That track from Dusty is one of my favourites from her.

[Christine Hampshire]

Lovely to hear "Beyond The Hill " on Don's show Robert a beautiful song, they all are though.

[ROBERT M.]

Don played Matt's You're Gonna Hear From Me on his show tonight ..............looks like his saying "the Matchless Matt Monro" is a permanent thing

[karl]

Maybe he said that as Matt always used a lighter

[mariana44]

Miseed it all last night--had such a bust day, I weas asleep by 10.30. May catch up on Listen again,. if I have time-Really busy week.

just seen martine mcCutheson on loose women ...talking bout don and she doing a show with somebody which i did not quite pick up....they showed clip of Matt singing the lovley born free....i think it all to do with Dons life story ...
