The very best of 'the singing bus driver' !
Matt Monro is probably the only British artist to have captured the true vocal essence of America's 'Rat Pack'. Most famous for his themes to 'From Russia with Love'and the Oscar winning John Barry/Don Black song 'Born Free', it is with the Quincy Jones/Don Black theme to 'The Italian Job', the quite immaculate 'On Days Like These', that Monro lures a new audience of Lounge oriented romantics. Some syruppy covers along the way are forgiven from this awesome voice with a range that, according to the previously mentioned Black, must surely have been powered by three lungs!
Matt Monro. Possibly the best male vocalist of all time.
Firstly, my musical preferences are very wide ranging. I love everything from the gritty blues of Robert Johnson, to Buddy Holly, to Led Zepellin, to the anarchic sounds of the Sex Pistols. I first learned of Matt when I was probably 12 or 13, when my mother used to wander around the house singing along to `My love and Devotion`, and `Walk away`. Even then, I was immediately taken in by Matts incredibly rich and toneful voice. Now, nearly twenty years later, I rate Matt as probably the best male vocalist of all time, certainly (in my opinion), up there with Sinatra, Cole and all the other great `crooners` from across the pond. His totally effortless style, impeccable pitch and incredibly smooth vibrato that has to be heard to be believed, make any Monro CD an absolute must for any music enthusiast. Most people will be aware of `From Russia with love`, from the film of the same name, and songs such as `Softly as I leave you`, `My kind of girl`, and the stirring `The impossible dream`, all showcase Matts talents to the full. For anybody who enjoys this kind of music, and who doesn`t actually own any of Matts material, I urge you to get yourself a copy of `The very best of Matt Monroe`. You won`t be disappointed.....
