History
Matt Monro was born Terence Edward Parsons on 1 December 1930 in Finsbury, London, and worked as a bus driver before breaking into singing in the 1950s London club circuit. His deep, effortless baritone earned him the nickname "the Man with the Golden Voice" and comparisons to Frank Sinatra. His break came when Beatles producer George Martin hired him to voice Peter Sellers' Sinatra spoof "You Keep Me Swingin'", which led to a Parlophone contract. "Portrait of My Love" (1960) became his first hit, reaching No. 3 in Britain, followed by "My Kind of Girl" (his first US chart entry), "Softly, As I Leave You", the James Bond theme "From Russia with Love", and the Oscar-winning "Born Free". In 1964 he represented the UK at Eurovision with "I Love the Little Things", finishing second. He sold over 20 million records and was praised by Sinatra and Bing Crosby before dying of cancer in 1985 at 54.
