      great to hear all these comments about the late truly great Matt Munro...my fav. music is heavy metal,heavy rock and blues but outside that i'm into all kinds of stuff including(in my opinion) the greatest crooning singer of all time...Matt Munro....he was a true cockney boy born and brought up in london's east end (i'm from the other side of the river thames-that flows through the centre of london) i'm from Peckham in S.E. London and he was a real family man-he used to work as a long-distance lorry but stopped doing it cos he missed his family too much so he then worked as a london bus driver and he entered a singing contest in a boozer (a pub) and he won it and as they say the rest is history...when asked who they thought was the best singer in the world (frank sinatra,sammy davis jnr,dean martin and others) they all without hesitation said Matt Munro. He went to america to tour there but came back home early to England because he missed his family too much and vice-versa...he very sadly passed away in 1984 and i think it was his lovely widow (Micki) who came across a tape in the back of their garage which was him in concert in australia in 1968 and it shows his warmth,humility,sense of humour and of course his great singing voice...if ur a Matt Munro fan like me it is definitely worth watching...it is professionally filmed and the sound quality is good...the late truly great Matt Munro-R
      I.P. fella...as we say in london he really was a "diamond geezer"....he smoked like a chimney,drank like a fish and SANG LIKE A BIRD!! take care,all the best,Piers...a.k.a. Chopper.

      @@piersgrowcott8179 Well said! I've seen that tape too. Sounds like he just didn't want to give his life to touring USA and the time it takes away from family as you say, unlike say Tom Jones or Engelbert for instance (think he was just too grounded and decent a fellow!) therefore never quite as famous as they were, but certainly revered by his fellow professionals for his brilliant natural delivery of a song.

    This great singer had to hold back a little here due to the studio setting, but just imagine the full power of that magnificent voice on the concert stage. I was lucky enough to see him perform in Dublin, Ireland in the now long gone Chariot Inn in 1974. You could have heard a pin drop as he sang one beautiful song after another. He stayed for almost an hour after his performance signing autographs and he had a kind word for everyone he met. One of natures gentlemen. A once in a generation talent.

      @@alanbishop7852 Well I wouldn't have really noticed this either except by hearing one of Matt Monro's long time friends, fellow singer Roger Whittaker talking about it on T.V. many years ago. He explained that in the confines of a T.V. studio you have to hold back a little especially on songs such as powerful ballads. Whereas singers like himself and Matt Monro could really go for the big notes in a concert hall. I never saw one of Matt Monro's big converts but I've heard recordings of his huge concerts in the Philippines and he sang with far more power than he did in the smaller venues.

    Walk away, please go
    Before you throw your life away
    A life that I could share for just a day
    We should have met some years ago
    For your sake I say
    Walk away, just go
    Walk away, and live
    A life that's full
    With no regret
    Don't look back at me
    Just try to forget
    Why build a dream that cannot come true
    So be strong, reach the stars now
    Walk away, walk on
    If I heard your voice
    I'd beg you to stay
    So don't say a word
    Just run, run away
    Goodbye my love
    My tears will fall
    Now that you've gone
    I can't help but cry
    But I must go on
    I'm sad that I have, after searching so long
    You, I love you, but told you
    Walk away, walk on, walk on

    Monro was one of the great crooners, along with Jack Jones, Steve Lawrence, Nat King Cole, Vic Damone, Tony Bennett, Eddie Fisher, and many others. And let's not forget the female crooners such as Rosemary Clooney, Sarah Vaughn, Ella Fitzgerald, Billie Holiday, etc. I really miss that style of singing. It's definitely a dying art.
