Matt could sing the menu at a Chinese restaurant and make it sound like the best song ever written.

Unbelievable this recording is more than 50 years ago. It has been beautifully remastered.

How fantastic to have this! I sing this in my tribute shows to Mr. Monro and though I have seen the "still" video from the original Eurovision contest here on YT with Mat singing, it is great to see a real video with him doing this wonderful song. Keep these undiscovered gems coming!

The unmistakeable, percussive sound of the great drummer Kenny Clare really makes the band swing and compliments Matt's suave and classy vocal performance.

I don't see this song on any of his albums.

Do you know I was listening to this earlier today and I was going to ask was there any footage of it, so excited to see there is, roll on Friday.

This is a bit of a different arrangement to the 1964 version though. The Eurovision version is unfortunately lost (although a couple of photos and the audio survive).

[melclo]

Wow totally different to what we are used to, more swing, now I like both versions, you don't have Matt singing More or I Will Wait for You by any chance? Thank you so much for these rarities, I for one very much appreciate your generosity.

Not sure if this works?The band are certainly swinging (fantastic & that drummer Wow!!) however Matt's vocal is an octave down from the original and doesn't quite swing with the band.Maybe a Sinatra approach to the band would have been better..
