Matt Monroe

[@argielita]

The richest warmest voice I ever heard. When Frank Sinatra heard he was in hospital dying, he called to say good bye. At the end of the conversation he said "I wish I could sing like you.'' Some compliment coming from a guy that sung as well as Sinatra.

[@kikivanstraun7916]

Wow I never knew that! What a complement. I completely agree with you he does the most rich voice...unlike anyone.

[@argielita]

@@kikivanstraun7916 Sinatra was a huge fan of Munro. I cried when I heard what he said.

[@frantrictantric]

True enough, and he also sent Matt a telegram wishing him a speedy recovery.

[@lyallg7925]

I have heard of that he was one of Sinatra’s 3 favourite singers of all time. And he called him ‘the singer’s singer’.

[@QueenieQantas]

In some ways he was better than Sinatra. From one boy singer to another was what Frank wrote to him. Great respect for supreme talent.

[@fr.alfonsusd.panaliganofmc2801]

Why that generation was blessed with these magnificent singers? Matt‘s voice is unique and legendary almost divine.

[@rouryglen]

They grew up listening to good music

[@lyallg7925]

It really was …Andy Williams, Bobby Darin, The Righteous Bros, Al Martino, Sam Cooke and prior to that Nat Cole, The Platters….

[@jeffmurray9618]

For me Matt Monro was in a class of his own.What a fabulous voice.

[@guilermo57]

I was chatting with a professional musician who has worked with all the top names, and I said how Matt's voice is my all time favourite. He replied that he worked with Matt Monro often and he was the nicest and kindest of them all, even paying for the orchestra/band's bar tab every night.

[@ysgol3]

Lovely, thank you.

[@lengerrard3810]

Happy birthday mat ."…❤

[@user-bi3ww3im3s]

Matt Monro what a legendary singer sadly missed R.I.P Matt wonderful singer I am a Teddy Boy 📻🎵🎶 but love the crooner's just such classy singers you will never be forgotten Matt your songs will play some where in the world 🌎 always respect 🫶🤝🙏🤍💛💙

[@mingmeimingmei3542]

I'm from the Philippines and do I wish I was old enough and aware of Matt Monro back then when he was doing many concerts here in my country. He's my no. 1 favorite British singer of all time.

[@mikehudson8884]

Matt has a wonderful speaking voice too.

[@treehugger9769]

Matt Monro, the man with the dreamiest voice ever, absolutely awesome singer :)

[@kirkfranz]

Matt Monro mentioned Philippines! Yes, My Way of Matt Monro is very famous in the Philippines. Everybody knew him and his songs 🙂 My mum and dad love all of his song.

[@irenewehrenberg9699]

He is so perfect 🥰

[@raymondfournier2477]

Matt has always been one of my favorite vocalists. Would have loved to see him live.

[@johngray1253]

Sorry you missed that privilege I had the privilege of seeing him many years ago when it is starting out performing in a small nightclub in Michigan who is excellent and they just went on from there to even being better. Commenting Barbara Gray

[@karenandmerrill]

He was great "live"

[@loidazabala2143]

i’m from the philippines 🇵🇭 and matt monro is my father’s favorite singer, we grew with his songs👍

[@anahitbarkif4131]

Great singer with a superbe voice..i love his songe and hear them nowadays....

[@johnglen3113]

We went regularly to Blackpool & played on the car radio Matt’s cd re love songs all the way down & again all the way back “just pure magic” what a gorgeous voice.

[@juncabasa6378]

Matt Monro music is my no.favorite of all times. Love it.

[@phillipleighton-daly2480]

As i heard mentioned earlier, Mat could sing through the selections of a restaurant's menu and sound wonderful'

[@normankenny]

When was working for a travel agency, Mark Allen Travels in London, we handle his travel arrangements, I missed meeting him when I went to his home to hand over this plane ticket unfortunately he was not at home, what a shame I should say, I love singing his songs he is one of my favourite singers the best RIP Matt we miss you...

[@christopherbyrne721]

An incredible singer marvellous entertainer matt you had it all Rest in peace

[@kikivanstraun7916]

What a super chap! One of the best voices of all time in my humble opinion. My favourite is "days like these" Thanks Dennis for posting!!

[@bobshakeshaft6129]

So lovely to be able to hear this voice.

[@kennethmaynard2910]

Keeping your songs alive in the canary island Matt

[@driccio2]

What a genuine person, down to earth and he says “we” played, not I. An amazing voice right up there with the best of the best.

[@phatman3573]

The effortless way he delivers lyrics is the most important part of his way of singing…. All his live shows and he’s never made a slip of the tongue or slurred any words of his songs ever… he was well known for one take recordings of many huge hits… his style has been imitated many times but Not many cone close….

[@vanceadair]

Great to see this - there's far too little interview footage of this magnificent performer.

[@dennishunt4065]

Thank you for your comment. He was the greatest!!

[@770WT]

I can't find him on old Merv Griffin or Mike Douglas Shows

[@aprilj.somosot509]

Matt Monro is my favorite singer and am very sorry for his early demise in this universe.

[@dorzmelendez8752]

Filipinos love Matt Monro and all his songs are a favorite. I love this singer. He is my dad's fave also.

[@nancyhsia8072]

Until now I still listen to his musics. He likes Philippines in his time.

[@richardoliver3615]

One thing that stands out when I first hear Matt Monro sang, was his COOLNESS and FLAWLESS way of singing his songs. He was one of a KIND.. Nobody is like him.

[@cryptohunt2552]

I've exchanged a few emails with his his daughter, Michele. Greatest voice of our tine.

[@Nina5144]

A nice interview with Matt Monroe. We don’t hear his voice in the biography of him. I wonder why the interviewer suddenly asked him how England is doing economically! Matt speaks of the working men’s clubs, but of course they fell out of favour with the public, younger folks wanted discos and night clubs, not working men’s clubs. Then he asks Matt about The Falkland Islands! Luckily Matt is well informed, but not about countries claims to land - many countries have off mainland territories. Glad he mentioned Vera Lynn, she had a beautiful voice and a no. 1 album at age 100!

[@bebotmaatpogi313]

He is a great singer. PELITA CORRALES LOVES THIS MAN BECAUSE OF HIS MARVELOUS VOICE.

[@simplebudd]

I always love Matt Monro and miss him so much. I sing in the shower and Matt has been my role model technically.

[@newaddress456]

I was in China for more than a decade. The song "Born Free" sung by Matt Monroe, is very popular there. The Chinese sung the song in karaoke

You couldn't tell from his talking voice that he had such a fantastic singing voice

[@buckjohnson1119]

Julie McIntyre It sounds like he has an upper respiratory bug here. Sounds like a sinus infection. His speaking voice was deeper and smooth, usually. And he just coughed in the interview. He also is in the horrid cancer battle, so his immune system, was off,

[@Mrbynby]

Monro seemed like a very down to earth person. Here was an international star who took time to visit a local record store to sign autographs in South Africa. He sold out audiences all over the world. Great interview.

[@paulinegoundry2288]

I just hope my mam is waiting for me on the other side singing a matt monroe song . Its what I remember about my mam. One of her favourite singers . It's what I was brought up with. His voice can not be replaced xxx

His description of Jakarta wasnt very good, perhaps hes being honest. It probably was as such then. But Jakarta has improved much today, more so than Manila, PH.
