Matt Monro - My Kind of Singer

on BBC Radio 2

A profile of the "singer's singer" from London's Shoreditch who crooned all the way to Las Vegas and counted both Frank Sinatra and Bing Crosby among his fans. In this final segment David Jacobs hears how Monro returned to
Britain in the seventies and was still a global success when ill-health crept up on him. He ultimately succumbed to cancer in 1985 at the age of 54.
