Pianist, singer and bandleader Nat "King" Cole may have
made his name as a singer, but his work as a pianist is
most musically significant. Taking the intricacies of Earl
"Fatha" Hines' right-hand lines and coupling them with the
more spare, left-hand ones developed by Count Basie, Cole's
impact on subsequent generations of pianists is
far-reaching.
Cole was born in Montgomery, Ala., on March 17, 1917. By
the age of 4, Cole's family had moved to Chicago, where he
started playing organ and singing in his father's church.
Along with his jazz musician brothers Fred, Eddie and
Isaac, Nat made his recording debut on Decca (1936) for the
group Eddie Cole's Solid Swingers. Cole left Chicago that
same year, and eventually settled in Los Angeles. He formed

Review about Nat King Cole Timeless Beauty | Reviewer: Mags
------ About the song Stardust performed by Nat King Cole
I don't know why, but Nat King Cole always reminds me of Christmas. A magical Christmas of times gone by.
Crisp, white snow, warm, cosy house, twinkling Christmas tree, candle light, Mum making dinner, Dad sipping his sherry in front of the warm, cosy coal fire, me cuddling my beautiful Daddy.
We will never witness such simple beauty again.

------ About the song Stardust performed by Nat King Cole
I wanted these words to put in a frame for a nice lady at the "Residential Center" where she lives in our city. This song brings such wonderful memories for her when she was young and so in love. Because she could not have children, the love of her life broke the engagement. She never married, but "LOVES" this song. It brings her such wonderful memories of being in love.

------ About the song Nature Boy performed by Nat King Cole
This song always puzzled me. Now at the age of nearly fifty, a very strange and lonely boy, a lttle sad of eye has passed my way and and tells me of his deep love for me. For once in my life, after many years of being alone in relationships I have let myself believe his words and believe in myself and, in doing so, I have indeed learned the greatest thing I'll ever learn, which is just to love and be loved in return. This song says it all.
Don't forget Bobby Troupe | Reviewer: Anonymous
------ About the song Route 66 performed by Nat King Cole
This song is iconic in the American song book. It's up there with "Over the Rainbow".
Remember it was written by Bobby Troupe who made many TV and film appearances in the 1970's. See Robert Altman's original film of MASH; where Bobby is the grouchy driver in a jeep saying, "Damn Army!". Also, be played a Doctor in the Jack Webb TV series, "Emergency". His wife, singer Judy London, also played nurse Dixie McCall in Emergency. Judy London was a fine and excellent singer by her own right before doing cheesy TV latter in her career.
Thumbs up to Nat and Bobby for the gift of this song.

I first met eden in Venice about 1965,he and his teenage son lived accross the alley in small house near my apt. He was a very quiet person who
had his own agenda. He would walk a block to the
beach to watch the Sun-set, while meditating,and sometimes blew his flute, Later, both he and his son passed on at diffrent times, He was beautiful!

------ About the song It's Only A Paper Moon performed by Nat King Cole
The song was, yes, lovely and nostalgic but I must say the movie was not about happier times although it was good.
What I was looking for was when the song first came out and when Nat first sang it. The answers to both questions seem to elude me.

------ About artist/band Nat King Cole
I am of that "Oh my God are you still alive" stage. I and my Brother have sang Nat's songs for years. Sentimental Rasons is one of our favorites. Nat King Cole was one of the gratest. We had so many wonderful singers, musicians and artists during "our" period of time. The trash we have today is not music. I am proud to have had our time in life. And I am proud to have had the wonderful artists who were able to tell a joke with out using the foul language they use today. If what they do today is Art, then I am sorry for what this world has become. Mr Cole, thank you.

------ About the song Stardust performed by Nat King Cole
Like Jorge Esteban, I, too, am transported to a special time i my life when my dad was alive. My Website, stardust dads.com, retains a clip from YouTube in which Nat King Cole sings Stardust to the accompaniment of pictures taken by the Hubble telescope Hoagy Carmichael, the song's composer. It is a special experience like no other.
my dad used to sing this song to me and my brother quite a lot.he was a soldier in the second world war and some of his comrades did not make it home and possibly this song reminded him of their children,so we always counted our blessings
My Dad (who died 15 years ago ) used to sing this song to me when I was a little girl and then to my children. It always made me cry and still does and I'm 59 now. It brings back wonderful memories of a man we all miss very much.
as a singer many times I start this song and never finish it..i choke on the sadness of "for him Christmas is just another day"..this year in our house to house parang I will try again...I will finish it one day..val..trinidad
