“Straighten Up And Fly Right” was written by Nat King Cole and lyricist-publisher-promoter Irving Mills, and was part of the soundtrack of the 1943 comedy movie Here Comes Elmer. Cole, born Nathaniel Adams Cole in Alabama, on March 17, 1919, grew up in Chicago, the son of a Baptist minister. “Straighten Up And Fly Right” was based on a folk tale Co...
In 1946, Cole became the first recording artist to sing the classic festive lyrics about “chestnuts roasting on an open fire and Jack Frost nipping at your nose,” in what many regard as the definitive version of “The Christmas Song.” The song was co-written by famous crooner Mel Tormé and Bob Wells on a scorching summer’s day. Tormé’s youngest son,...
It is said that the nomadic Brooklyn-born writer eden ahbez handed Cole’s manager the lyrics and music to “Nature Boy” backstage at a concert. Cole loved the song and cut a version on 22 August 1947. It shot to No.1 on the charts and stayed there for eight weeks. “Nature Boy” was a tricky song to tackle and Cole showed all his technical ability by ...
“Mona Lisa” is one of the great love songs of the 20th Century, which more than earns it a place among the best Nat King Cole songs. It was written by Ray Evans and Jay Livingston for the movie Captain Carey, USA,and won an Oscar for Best Original Song. Surprisingly, though, “Mona Lisa” was originally released as the B-side to “The Greatest Invento...
“Pretend” was originally released as a shellac 78rpm single by Capitol. Cole’s version of the 30s ballad was cut with Stan Kenton’s jazz orchestra and included (uncredited) some excellent musicians, including Shelly Manne on drums. Cole’s late daughter, the Grammy-winning singer Natalie Cole, recorded her own version on her 1991 album, Unforgettabl...
“Too Young,” which had lyrics by the novelist Sylvia Dee (she also wrote the words to “Bring Me Sunshine”) sold a million copies and was No.1 for five weeks, prompting Billboardto call it the top song of 1951. Cole described “Too Young” as perhaps his favorite of all the songs he recorded.
Cole’s 1952 album Unforgettable opens with its superb title track, which was composed by Irving Gordon – who wrote “Me, Myself And I” for Billie Holiday– and stands as a career-defining performance among the best Nat King Cole songs. His smooth, nuanced delivery is pitch-perfect and enhanced by subtle accompaniment from an orchestra arranged by Nel...
“I try to give people what they like,” said Cole, who, at his peak, was selling seven million records a year. In 1952, Capitol Records issued a series of his songs on a 10” LP called 8 Top Pops, including “Walkin’ My Baby Back Home.” The lyrics for the song were by the accomplished songwriter Roy Turk, whose many hits include Elvis Presley’s “Are Y...
Alan Jay Lerner and Frederick Loewe wrote “Almost Like Being In Love” for the 40s musical Brigadoon. Cole loved the tune and recorded several versions, including a sparkling two-minute take for his 1955 album Nat King Cole Sings For Two In Love. Cole’s version has featured in several movies and was the closing song in the 1993 movie Groundhog Day. ...
Cole took “When I Fall In Love,” a song written by Victor Young and Edward Heyman that was a hit for Doris Day in 1952, and made it his own with a stunning version. Cole’s brother Freddie said that one memorable feature of Nat’s singing was how well he enunciated words in songs. His stirring delivery left an indelible impression on listeners. Singe...
