- Matt Monro sings 'As Long As She Needs Me' (with lyrics)
Matt Monro was one of Britain’s most iconic singers.
He recorded the very first James Bond Theme song -‘From Russia With Love’ - represented Britain in the Eurovision Song contest in 1964 with ‘I Love the Little Things’ (in Copenhagen) - finishing second - and had many international hits which included ‘Born Free’, ‘Walk Away’, and ‘Portrait of My Love’.
Matt died on 7 February 1985 aged 54 and only 5 days after receiving a telegram from Frank Sinatra which said:
“Sorry to hear that you've taken ill and hope you'll soon be on the mend and up and about. I send you love and prayers.
Your fellow boy singer,
Frank Sinatra"
Frank Sinatra said of Matt:
"His pitch was right on the nose: his word enunciation letter perfect: his understanding of a song thorough.
“He will be missed very much, not only by myself, but by his fans all over the world."

Had the pleasure of going to Las Vegas in ‘76 or ‘77 and saw his show. Quite a singer and had great banter with the audience. He asked someone “if they didn’t mind terribly much if he could have a cigarette”, in a thick British accent. He had class and charm. That was a funny moment I haven’t forgotten.
Grew up listing to music like this with my mom and dad. Miss those days. Now I play it around the house with my wife and dance .
Superb; an unmatchable talent.
Matt Monro, what a wonderful singer, his smoothness and warm singing voice is extraordinary, stunning and captivating from first sound. He is for me one of the BEST ever. I do sing my self and I am always amazed from his Performances. Matt I will always be your Fan RIP. Amen.
