The Very Best of Nat King Cole
The Very Best of Nat King Cole
Commemorating the 40th anniversary of Nat King Cole’s death in 1965, this compilation is the CD companion of an excellent DVD/documentary. Produced with the blessing of his estate, this disc is a thorough survey of his timeless genius–all recorded on the Capitol label. It captures his sumptuous and soothing tenor voice crooning on the pop tunes he made famous, like the ethereal “Nature Boy,” the melancholy “Mona Lisa,” and the bouncy “Straighten Up and Fly Right,” and “Route 66.” It also features Cole’s often-overlooked skills as an Earl Hines-style pianist. “Quizas, Quizas, Quizas (Perhaps, Perhaps, Perhaps),” and “Darling, Je Vous Aime Beaucoup,” attest to his international appeal, and see if you can keep a dry eye when you listen to Natalie Cole’s posthumous, digitally-enhanced duet with her father on “Unforgettable.” From strings to big bands, Nat King Cole is never out of style. –Eugene Holley, Jr.

5 Stars MOTHER’S DAY SUCCESS
I bought some CD’s for my Mom on Mother’s Day. We’d ( kids) gotten her a new/used car for her birthday that had a CD player and she didn’t have any. 37 years a widow who love’s to walk down a “Big Band” memory lane. It had a song that she loved to dance to when they were courting. This CD was in excellent shape and she loved it as well as the others I’d gotten her. Happy Mother’s Day for both of us.
5 Stars One of the great classics of 20th century music
This is a must-have for any collection of classic music. The mellow and inspiring sounds of NKC’s music can literally turn your rough, less-than-ideal day around. Seriously. Some of my personal highlights include Nature Boy, Unforgettable, Sweet Loraine, and L-O-V-E (multi-lingual version).
5 Stars I love it. No complaints ever.
The product was delivered on time – in good condition and I absolutely love it. Thanks so much for everything.

2 Stars Records are better
Although i’m far from an audiophile, more than half of the songs on this CD don’t even sound like Nat King Cole! I had several of his record albums and they were much better. Overall, I’m very disappointed.
