A Portrait Of Matt Monro.

Which channel will it be on?

I was glued to the telly with this and thoroughly enjoyed it as Matt Monro has always been a favourite. How lovely to watch an in-depth programme instead of a quick half-hour which barely scratches the surface.
I've just flicked through the tv magazine @mrswoo and see that it'll be repeated on Thursday at 2,55-4.40 pm so we can indulge again. I've still got his lovely, warm voice 'ear-worming' through my brain.

Apparently Softly As I Leave You was played in the church at his funeral.

Not a dry eye in the house I bet.

Wonderful singer, my personal favourite From Russia With Love. I believe he was a very nice man too, someone I knew met him once.

I don't know all of his songs, but I absolutely love his voice.

He was also a great giggler, couldn`t keep a straight face when someone was doing something daft. Lovely man.

My dad used to sing at charity events in central Scotland,he wasn't proffessional but had a fab voice ,sung everything from opera to pop .We used to help him learn his lyrics for new songs there were always a couple of Matt Monro songs in his set .That means I know the lyrics to practically his whole songbook .Fabulous voice ,very unique.If You Go Away is one of my favourites and Softly as I Leave You another .

Oh, I missed it, didn’t know it was on. I hope it’s repeated.

I loved his voice - I remember once being in a crowded cafe and Portrait of My Love was playing on the radio and it literally moved me to tears.

My mums favourite dads was Shirley Bassey

My Dad had all his records too. They were the songs of my childhood.

I can remember a teacher saying that Matt Monroe was her favourite singer! I’m afraid I was very dismissal, but she told me that when I got older I would appreciate his voice!
So true. I love his voice and I’m never tired of playing his songs.. My favourite is “Days Like These” too.
A few years ago I went to a concert in which his son was singing. It was very disappointing.

Oh he was great. We have a CD somewhere.

My dad loved Matt Monro as well. 'Days Like These' was his favourite.

My dad’s favourite song was MM singing ‘Autumn Leaves’. A warm, strong voice.

I loved his voice, too.

Oh I missed it. Will see if I can catch up with it. Wonderful voice, wonderful songs.
