366 Artists In 366 Days : Day 120 Number 247 Matt Monr

Matt Monro (born Terence Edward Parsons) was affectionately known as 'The Singing Busdriver'.

What diction he had...


Matt was the first artist to record 'Yesterday'...























366 Artists In 366 Days : Day 119 Number 248 Frank Sinatra

Ol' Blue Eyes : 12 December 1915
Ol' Shut Eyes : 14 May 1998




Here is Nancy singing 'Something Stupid' with her brother Frank Jnr.
Note to production team, it's still as creepy as singing it with her father...

366 Artists In 366 Days : Day 116 Number 251 Eurythmics




And here we have the obligatory Hugh Laurie appearance...

366 Artists In 366 Days : Day 115 Number 252 NRBQ

Although NRBQ (New Rhythm & Blues Quartet) have been around since the 1960s, they
reached the Billboard Hot 100 just once in their entire career. And that only got to number 70.
But don't let that fool you.
If you like Beatles-influenced power pop, then give these guys a listen.
Prefer more jazz-rock? Hey, they got that too...
