If I Never Sing Another Song - Sammy Davis Jr.

On this day in 1985, Matt Monro passed away. He was hailed by many as the "singer's singer". Sammy was a friend and fan, he'd often performed this song, which was one of Matt's biggest hits. This performance was on Bruce Forsyth's "Big Night" in 1978.

I’m ashamed to say I didn’t know too much about Sammy, I’m now discovering what an incredible singer he was . Passion, emotion & incredible vocals . I’m now a huge if belated fan of his .

Sammy Davis Jr. His song's are the theme of my entire life. His voice takes me home and to a much better place.
I was young, I was lucky enough to see him live....What an experience... I listen to Sammy, to feel my heart, my memories. He was 1 in a million.

Timeless and beautiful. Sammy was the standard and sings this story soulfully

Written by the Austrian Singer Udo Jürgens. First offered to Frank Sinatra who turned it down. Big hit for Matt Monro and one of the greatest hits in Japan.

You know you're the man when you can just turn around and direct your own 20 piece band and the song sounds so damn good it should be on the album.
