This first week of February 2015 has already seen the anniversaries of several tragic losses in the entertainment world, Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens and The Big Bopper (56 years ago) on 3rd and Karen Carpenter (32 years ago) on 5th. Today, on 7th February, it is 30 years since the loss of that great British song stylist Matt Monro. His real name was Terence (Terry for short) Parsons and he was originally a London bus driver and was discovered singing in a club by the pianist - whom I've sure you've ALL heard of - Winifred Atwell. It was she who suggested a change of name and got him a recording contract and London Transport's loss was the music world's BIG gain. Outside Britain, he is probably best known for singing the theme song to the 1963 James Bond film "From Russia With Love" but he had several hits in the 60s and 70s, some of my favourites being "Walk Away", "On Days Like These" and "Portrait of my Love" and he did a lovely "big ballad" version of The Beatles' "All My Loving". His "big band swing" version of the Hoagy Carmichael song "One Morning In May" is ABSOLUTELY TERRIFIC too. Frank Sinatra is reputed to have called Matt his favourite singer and sent him a Get Well card when he was suffering from cancer but sadly Matt lost his fight in 1985, aged only 54. On the radio this morning, his very poignant recording of "Softly I Will Leave You" was played and once again I was in floods. So as with Buddy, Ritchie, the Bopper and Karen, RIP Matt and thanks for all the great songs you left us. Like the others too, you will NEVER be forgotten.

Also,don't forget he was massive in Latin countries also,when he sang in Spanish(but couldn't speak a word off the language. all he did was was go in the studio & read the translation & sang it/recorded it first time..some put him up there with old blue eyes some suggest he was better,But he was a remarkable artist for sure,i bought his double cd a good few years back classic songs on it..Not bad for a former bus driver

Thanks my friend, yes indeed "Born Free" as well, lovely song. I met the star of the film of "Born Free", Virginia McKenna, in January 1980 backstage at the London Palladium after a performance of Rodgers & Hammerstein's "The King and I" in which she played Mrs. Anna and Yul Brynner reprised his role as the king. Virginia was charm, grace, poise and elegance and chatted to people and signed autographs but Yul Brynner just sped off and couldn't be bothered to meet the people who had help make him a star. Up until then, I had never known Virginia to sing but she carried it off very well. Deborah Kerr was lovely in the 1956 film version though, of course, her singing voice was dubbed by Marni Nixon.
