Gerry Monroe (20 January 1933 – October 1989) was an English pop singer, who enjoyed brief popularity in the early 1970s. Born Henry Morris in South Shields, Tyne & Wear, England, Monroe scored five Top 40 hits on the UK Singles Chart in 1970-71.〔 He was spotted on Hughie Green's ''Opportunity Knocks'' TV show by Les Reed, who signed him to a long-term deal with Chapter One Records. He had a high and distinctive falsetto voice, and managed to notch up chart hits for the Chapter One label, including "Sally", a song first made popular by Gracie Fields in the 1930s. Monroe's version was co-produced and co-arranged by Reed. In 1997 an album, ''Sally: Pride of Our Alley'', was released on compact disc on the Gold Dust label. Monroe also recorded a tribute to Bobby Charlton in 1973, following the footballer's retirement, called "Goodbye Bobby Boy". Monroe died in October 1989 at the age of 56. ==Charting singles== *"Sally" (1970) UK #4 *"Cry" (1970) UK #38 *"My Prayer" (1970) UK #9 *"It's a Sin to Tell a Lie" (1971) UK #13 *"Little Drops of Silver" (1971) UK #37 *"Girl of My Dreams" (1972) UK #43 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Gerry Monroe」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
