This clip was shot in glorious colour on location in London and Rome, this 1966 film feature was originally screened as a support feature in the cinemas. This is my favorite song of Matt.

Because they actually sang. They're are singers that good out there, but the current style dictates an okay voice that can be enhanced and altered. I miss singers, actual singers.
A very underrated singer of his time Matt was as good if not better than anything Hollywood could offer . . . not bad for a guy who used to be a bus driver in the UK RIP Matt Munro.
Even Frank Sinatra said he was the best singer he had ever heard just a shame he was taken away so early at least we able to still listen to him never will be forgotten and always admired
This man is blessed with a talent few singers have. His sense of melody and range, when holding a note, is majestic. Very few can sing with this caliber of quality. What a shame the world "walked away, walked on" from this beautiful style of music that both enriches and soothes the soul.
The sad untimely passing of Matt Monro left a big void in the wonderful but now forgotten songs of yesteryear. He was one of the last of the great crooners and was sensational. He is unforgettable and sadly missed..
@@nancyphillips140It was the same for me also hearing that wonderful song by Matt Monro walk away back in the summer of 1965 playing it many times on the rockola jukebox ♡
You are so very right, these classics will never come again, they are so pure, & sung with depth. . Oh, don't forget the orchestral backing it helps to make these great songs even greater ... Peggy Wood (Aotearoa)
Yes, you are so right. The Composer, the lyricist, the Arranger, the Orchestra, the Singer. They are all of equal importance but it is the singer who gets all the kudos. The rest are rarely if ever mentioned.
A vintage singer and song at its best. I miss so many wonderful memorable songs and music from the 60's and 70's which the so-called popular music of today cannot compare.
I was twice fortunate to meet and chat with Matt when I was living in Canada. Even though they were a year apart this lovely man remembered me the second time and made me feel so welcome! Not only was he a fantastic Singer but a lovely man!! Dennis
No, my friend, not wine. A champagne cognac or, maybe, an Islay whisky... He draws you in, makes you think he's not worth the effort when the tremble starts on the key change, then gets better than impressive, you say, 'Wow! This singing bus driver turned soldier really knows how to tell a story in song.' You realise, just as with strong spirits, that he knows his life and your's has been enhanced by his and then you cry... And amazingly feel better. How on Earth does that work? Regards.
Matt remains a true icon to those who love and appreciate those excellent romantic songs of the good old days.Those were the times when the world was beautiful and safe .
The World was never safe. But another time, true romances werent flung off for the passing lusts of the moment. Matt stayed faithful to his wife for life
I wish someone could make a film about this great man - if anyone deserves such a legacy surely he does, with the contribution he's made to the world of music & the enjoyment he's given to millions. Problem is which actor could come anywhere close when it comes to the singing?
I'm now78 and haven't heard anyone come even close to Matt. Boy oh boy what a singer . Does it all own his own , doesn't need scantily clad girls. Miss you Matt
They played this a thousand times a day, in the radios of the Philippines as well as SINGERS in the entire PHILIPPINES was a LOVER for the ARTISTRY of the Great MATT MONRO.
llanbradach YOU HAVE GREAT TASTE ILLANBRADACH. HAD THE GREAT PLEASURE OF SEEING MATT IN CONCERT IN THE 70 TS IN DUBLIN IRELAND BEST WISHES. CECIL ROWLEY.
As a 52 year old man, I inherited my love of Matt Monro's voice from my dad's LP's (and also from watching Born Free when I was a kid - he sang the theme tune). For about the last 7 years I have had the Best of Matt Monro CD in my car on continual loop. Cannot get enough of his understated brilliance.
I caught the train the other day and it was packed to the rafters, I was listening to Matt Monro through my head phones and became lost in the music. His voice was so rich and full of character just like the roast pork and beer that I had the night before. I failed to notice that I was farting right next to an elderly woman sitting beside me but to make matters worse whilst I was passing wind poos came out and dribbled from my seat to hers. This started a chain reaction of vomiting and the train had to be cancelled at the next stop but it was okay because I parked my purple car next to a brown one that was the same colour of the stain I left on the seat.
I agree with everyone comments. he was with dout greatest singer to come out of the uk . the present ones we have to day would never make fist step on the ladder
Different more modern genres certainly do as far as talent goes, but since each decade has their own culture and technology it's very hard to replicate. Look at the revival of 90s style rave music and how many nostalgia albums have come out atd it never quite sounds right even though it's the same talented producers from back in the day.
Yes, this is a truly beautiful song - so haunting and Matt's rich velvety voice is superb - the intro is awesome, leading you into the lovely melody. Sheer excellence!
That is hardly surprising because Sinatra made a point of putting over every single word clearly. Matt Monro did just that with such a high degree of clarity that it is hardly surprising that a very high number of diverse films in his time had him singing their theme songs.... imagine that voice with every word crystal clear floating round the auditorium as the opening credits rolled over the big screen. There was never so good a match.
John? A few years ago i got into Matt Monro thanks to my Mum,i was just amazed by this man's singing he was note and pitch perfect....well my dear mum passed away in April this year and we played one of her favourite Matt songs,''Softly as i Leave You' and at her service when Softly was played it was i have to say so emotional.....and you know what to this day i myself listen to Matt every day....love his music and love that song of his played at mum's service.Matt Monro ❤️❤️
Am 60 now, plays guitar and keyboard, sometimes perform socially for friends. But when I was a 6-7 year old kid, not knowing anything about music, I used to play Matt Monroe's records that my brother in law had in his collction. It felt so so soothing and nice. Beautiful voice indeed !
To those who composed/created those magnificently beautiful Matt Monro songs, my deepest thanks ! Its been as almost always the composer/s remain unappreciated.
Exceptional.... apparently went to have his voice trained but was told to walk away as he had the most perfect natural pitch and breathing nothing they could do to improve it.
How can there be 375 people who are so soul dead that they can downvote this ultimate singer? Even if you are not a fan of his style, you can't fault his quality and top talent. One of the very best.
Was he a bus driver, that's great information, I heard of Frank Sinatra, daughter Nancy, but never Matt Munro, in case it's his voice that was natural & he made a good use of his.
People pretend to forget everything..all it takes is a song that brings back tons of memories..every event of life leaves an indelible impact on our life which will never fade away
Frank Harwood I loved and lost Jayne Crofts, I was only 15 Jayne was 14, I heard 2 yrs ago from her mum Jayne had passed on, It broke my heart, I'm married to a lovely woman and I'm 62 now but I hope I will meet Jayne one day.
I was eight years old when I met Matt monroe with my father .He was going into a public house across from the recording studio he had been recording in . My father was to shy to ask for his autograph and suggested I do it for him , I was just too shy as well . Anyway my father decided rather than lose the autograph he asked for it . Matt monroe was a real gentleman if I can remember correctly . I hadn’t a clue who he was . My father died in a hospital waiting room that night of a heart attack and I was bereft . I have loved Matt monroe ever since and his voice is unequivocally the finest Britain has ever had .. Every time I see him he reminds me of Reg Varney from on the busses ..? 😂 I am 56 now and still have goosebumps when I hear Matt . David
In my honest opinion i belive that Matt Monroe is britain's equal to america's Natt Cole, he to had a voice as smooth as silk and that's a rareity in singers,
I had never thought of that before, but now thinking about it, I would have to fully agree with you on that, so true. I have no doubts about that whats ever!
I truly believe there has never been now or at any time a singer that could hold a note like Matt.You listen to ANY of his songs they are pitch perfect.His enduring legacy will live on whenever or wherever someone plays them.You were a. true gentleman and the loss still is hard to bear
I was on holiday in Malta many years ago and a very dear friend stood up in bar and sang 'Walk Away' as a homage to Matt. I remember it well. Beautifully sang. No where as good as Matt though. RIP Matt. Taken too soon ❤
Miss you Dad I know you loved this song and I never really appreciated it until you weren't there anymore life is too short hold on tight to the ones you care about believe me love you all Kenny hill xxxxxxx
His voice took me to th place he's singing about especially when he sings Born free beautiful song about the lions. I love hos great talent ,we don't hear voices like his any more. ❤😢
I met this wonderful man, many years ago, took time to have a chit chat, a gentleman of his time, one of the most wonderful singers of all time. ❤️❤️🙏🙏📕📕
Maybe you haven't heard enough of his great body of work. Best recordings of Skylark and ALL of Hoagy Carmichael's songs. Best recording of To Dream the Impossible Dream, Who Can I Turn To?, his recording of Sir George Martin's beautiful There's a Place, best recording of Laura, and Portrait of My Love, and Softly, and BORN FREE! Best recording by far of The Shadow of Your Smile, Other People, and I Get Along Without You Very Well....
Wow!! I'm 49 and love his music and the VOICE!!!! One person I wish I could have seen in concert. I love you......and thanks for making a country boy have a little class.
He was a short man (5.6) but had a BIG voice. Solid performer he ranks right up there with all the rest of them from that era: Williams, Sinatra, Cole, Martin, Como, Davis..etc... etc. Too bad that not many remember him now or know of him in the States.
He impressed me with 'From Russia with love' in 1963. At that time, Hong Kong, a small island, proudly produced three world class standards: airline Cathay Pacific, bank HSBC, singer Matt Monroe who had been in army service there.
Heard this genial gentleman at the Californian Ballroom in Dunstable ,Bedford,England Inthe late 60's.l was totally entranced by his vocal delivery,!!So beautiful and controlled!
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
I just heard this for the first time last week on SiriusXM & was blown away. A man who can sing is a rare gem. I truly don't understand why they smoke. Not only does it ruin your health, but also your vocal gift. So sad.

Me. Matt Monro was one of my dad’s favourites. Over shadowed by Perry Como, Sammy Davis Jnr and others. He deserved more recognition than he got 🙏❤️
Yes, me. What a voice! ♥
Orangnya juga ganteng dan elegant.
What do you talkin abou in listening to this song everyday
The fact that he was Frank Sinatra’s favourite artist says it all.......respect.

Yes,yes&yes
WHY do songs of the 60's in particular, touch the heart so much?
Brilliant
Variety is the spice of life, and the 60s had it. Sooo many different singers. And bands.
because these songs lyrics have much meaningfu💖l than millennium year songs
Well all I can say is that all song from the 60s were very meaningful.it had a great impact on their daily lives too.
Listening to it right now in California. Reminds me after listening Never My Love from the Association. Yes, great songs of the oldies never fade.

I would not describe this as a "power ballad". Too reflective.
Jim Reeves is definitly in Matt´s caliber-
Jim is quite different from Matt. He is a special entity, and belongs to the unrepeatable category. Just like Matt!
Unbelievable voice !! R.I.P. Matt 😢.

I wish someone could make a film about this great man - if anyone deserves such a legacy surely he does, with the contribution he's made to the world of music & the enjoyment he's given to millions. Problem is which actor could come anywhere close when it comes to the singing?

They can just have Matt's songs played
But Matt's company might charge too much to share the rights.

Well put I don't think anyone could
For anyone whose heart has been broken, this is the song. Beautiful.
I'm now78 and haven't heard anyone come even close to Matt. Boy oh boy what a singer . Does it all own his own , doesn't need scantily clad girls. Miss you Matt
I agree your right 💯👍
One of my favourites too, although if we are considering all British male singers, I think there is a case for Tom Jones too. Both top of their game.
I have been a fan of Mat Monroe since I first heard him sing in the late 1960s and I believe he is one of the very best crooner's in the world
Best ever British male singer of any era. What a voice, admired by Frank Sinatra.

Agree, never understood the adulation of Sinatra.
A lovely song by a great singer. Just another reason why the music of the 60's will never ever be equalled, it lives forever.

@Richard, when Nat Cole died (cigarettes, same industry/wealthy devils that killed Matt), who did Capitol Records hire to fill Cole's place? Matt!
Natt (King Cole) - Richard?
I truly believe there has never been now or at any time a singer that could hold a note like Matt.You listen to ANY of his songs they are pitch perfect.His enduring legacy will live on whenever or wherever someone plays them.You were a. true gentleman and the loss still is hard to bear
I was on holiday in Malta many years ago and a very dear friend stood up in bar and sang 'Walk Away' as a homage to Matt. I remember it well. Beautifully sang. No where as good as Matt though. RIP Matt. Taken too soon ❤
We were robbed of fantastic singer and entertainer it's very sad indeed RIP Matt Monro 🥰
A really demanding song and
Matt did it with such ease.
So beautiful.
Miss you Dad I know you loved this song and I never really appreciated it until you weren't there anymore life is too short hold on tight to the ones you care about believe me love you all Kenny hill xxxxxxx
Kenny it was my dad's favourite also ,they both had good taste
Hermoso tema ...hermosa voz de Mat ...¡ INOLVIDABLE !!!
Today's so called stars........listen and weep.....you'll never be this good!!!! perfect comment so true...the best....
His voice is so mellow that’s why I love all his songs.
He spoke the king/Queens English as did Sinatra, Bennett, Davis, and maybe one or 2 others

Frank said he had the most rich and beautiful voice! 🏴🏴🥰
The eternally voice, making me teary every time I hear this Matt song’s
This is a lovely song if anyone has loved & lost, knows the pain of a lost love 😢 truly beautiful singing
The only man I ever truly loved. He belonged to another so we walked away from each other. 1964 a year I will never forget.
Such a sweet and pure voice, miseed the old days ♡
👏
Always loved this man's voice and style of crooning. Those were the days.
👏👏
Wonderful voice, grew up with his music. RIP Matt.
His voice took me to th place he's singing about especially when he sings Born free beautiful song about the lions.
I love hos great talent ,we don't hear voices like his any more. ❤😢
I met this wonderful man, many years ago, took time to have a chit chat, a gentleman of his time, one of the most wonderful singers of all time. ❤️❤️🙏🙏📕📕
This music and 'From Russia with Love', the best songs by Matt Monro. Live forever!
Maybe you haven't heard enough of his great body of work. Best recordings of Skylark and ALL of Hoagy Carmichael's songs. Best recording of To Dream the Impossible Dream, Who Can I Turn To?, his recording of Sir George Martin's beautiful There's a Place, best recording of Laura, and Portrait of My Love, and Softly, and BORN FREE! Best recording by far of The Shadow of Your Smile, Other People, and I Get Along Without You Very Well....
Wow!! I'm 49 and love his music and the VOICE!!!! One person I wish I could have seen in concert. I love you......and thanks for making a country boy have a little class.
He was a short man (5.6) but had a BIG voice. Solid performer he ranks right up there with all the rest of them from that era: Williams, Sinatra, Cole, Martin, Como, Davis..etc... etc. Too bad that not many remember him now or know of him in the States.
I found his biography by his daughter, but had to order it from Europe. The US has NO sense of culture.
He impressed me with 'From Russia with love' in 1963. At that time, Hong Kong, a small island, proudly produced three world class standards: airline Cathay Pacific, bank HSBC, singer Matt Monroe who had been in army service there.
Heard this genial gentleman at the Californian Ballroom in Dunstable ,Bedford,England Inthe late 60's.l was totally entranced by his vocal delivery,!!So beautiful and controlled!
Why can’t music be made like this today 😢
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
I highly appreciated this kind of song even though I wasn't born in his music era but his legacy will remain forever.
👏😁
I just heard this for the first time last week on SiriusXM & was blown away. A man who can sing is a rare gem. I truly don't understand why they smoke. Not only does it ruin your health, but also your vocal gift. So sad.
Nothing like these legends.....compare this to the music of today....
What a song !
Great words!
And such a great voice. !
