A singer once said "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." The singer�was the legendary Frank Sinatra, the man he spoke about: Matt Monro.�
Matt Monro: The Singer's Singer, is the highly-anticipated story of one of Britain's most�iconic singers, tracing Matt Monro's life from his poverty stricken upbringing in post-war
Britain to his day job�as London bus driver to the steady rise to fame that saw the singer battling the highs and lows of the�entertainment industry to become one of Britain's best-loved
entertainers. This is the man behind the image,�the man who rubbed shoulders with some of the most famous names in the business, who recorded the very�first James Bond theme song (From Russia
with Love) and the international hits Softly as I Leave You, Born�Free, Walk Away and Portrait of My Love.�
In an intimate portrait written by the singer's daughter, Michele Monro, and drawing on more than two hundred�interviews from the most important characters in Matt's life, The Singer's
Singer exposes the man behind the�voice, telling the story of how Terry Parson overcame poverty, prejudice and alcoholism to arrive at the very�heart of the post-war British entertainment
industry as the unforgettable Matt Monro.
