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 instalment David Jacobs follows Monro's chart success and, with the help of his widow Mickie Monro, looks at the impact of fame on the singer, who in 1966 moved to America and worked with Billy May, Henry Mancini and Nelson Riddle.
