Matt Monro sitting on stool in recording studio holding bottle of champagne and pretending to play it like a guitar
Matt Monro, a singer firmly entrenched in the easy listening genre pictured in the recording studio where he was working on his latest album. The champagne magnum given to him to toast his most recent succes filled in as a mime for a guitar. Matt Monro worked almost exclusively in the fifties and sixties where his easy going style found favour with the listening audience. Much of his work was on the soundtracks for some of the biggest films of the era, such as " The Italian Job" and " Born Free". Come the seventies the work had dried up for Monro but compilation albums of his songs continue to sell. Infact three were released in 1998 alone. Sadly he died in 1985

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we see the legendary Matt Monro in his element, sitting on a stool in a recording studio. With a mischievous smile on his face, he holds a bottle of champagne, but instead of toasting with it, he playfully pretends to strum it like a guitar. This lighthearted moment captures the essence of Monro's charismatic personality. A prominent figure in the easy listening genre during the 1950s and 1960s, Matt Monro was adored by audiences for his smooth vocals and relaxed style. This recording studio served as his creative sanctuary while working on his latest album. The champagne magnum given to him symbolizes celebration and success - an acknowledgment of Monro's remarkable talent. Although primarily known for his contributions to film soundtracks such as "The Italian Job" and "Born Free". Monro faced challenges as the music industry evolved in the 1970s. Nevertheless, even after his passing in 1985, compilation albums featuring his timeless songs continued to resonate with listeners worldwide. This evocative image transports us back to an era when Matt Monro's voice filled our hearts with joy. It reminds us that despite life's ups and downs, true artistry lives forever through its enduring melodies. As we gaze upon this photograph from Memory Lane Prints, we are reminded of both the brilliance of Matt Monro's musical legacy and the indomitable spirit that made him an unforgettable entertainer.
