Matt Monro (1930-1985) was an English singer known for his rich, resonant voice and mastery of the ballad genre. Often referred to as 'The Man with the Golden Voice', Monro's style was reminiscent of the easy listening and jazz-oriented crooners of the 1950s and 1960s, drawing comparisons to artists like Frank Sinatra. His most prominent works include hits like "Portrait of My Love", and "Walk Away", as well as the James Bond theme "From Russia With Love". His significant contributions to music have left a lasting impact on the traditional pop genre.
