Nat King Cole had one of the silkiest voices of all time and was universally loved by almost everyone! This is a wonderful tribute to him, having his daughters voice matched with his.
Nat King Cole was top ten all-time male singers. Right up there with Sinatra, Bing Crosby, Perry Como, Dean Martin, Johnny Mathis, Andy Williams, Elvis, Kenny Rogers, etc. I am amazed and saddened that Asia never heard of him. Nat King Cole was also the first African American performer with his own television show - The Nat King Cole Show.
Hi Asia And BJ! 😄 im Always Watchingn Your Reaction video Can I Request? Can You Do A Reaction Video Of 👉CRAZY AS PINOY - "PANAGINIP" PERFORM LIVE! ON Wish 107.5 BUSS Hope You this Request Subscriber & Watching From PH Thank You😄
They re-recorded the music with an orchestra. They used her father's original vocal and Natalie sang the duet with the recording using his voice. You need to see her do it live with her dad on a big screen and photos of her and her dad as she was growing up. She did a whole album of her father's songs, actually, she did two. This song was a HUGE hit when she released it, and she did a whole tour singing her fathers songs.
This is an iconic Nat King Cole song and his biggest song. For the original song featuring Nat King Cole it was recorded with an orchestra leader and arranger Nelson Riddle in 1951. It became a hit again in 1991 (US #14, UK #19) for Nat's daughter, Natalie, when her vocals were dubbed with his to make a duet.
You guys are wonderful. Back during Nat King Coles later part of his career in the 50s Rock n Roll and Doo Wop exploded Nat came up with a song called " MR. COLE WON'T ROCK AND ROLL". A hilarious take on a singer who will not sing that type of music. He goes thru several R&R songs and the crowd can't stop laughing. Take a listen.
Natalie Cole's tribute to her father with this song in 1991 gets me every time. It won numerous Grammy awards. Nat "King" Cole released this song in 1951. Because that was also the year my parents got married, my brother, sister, and I dedicated this song to them on their 50th wedding anniversary. To Nat and Natalie, rest in peace, rest in power.
My sisters and I threw my parents a party for their 50th wedding anniversary. This was the song we chose for their first dance. Five years later on their 55th wedding anniversary my dad was diagnosed with an untreatable tumor. They had their last dance to this song. This will always be my most favorite song!
I remember .... that was the sweetest thing I ever heard, father and daughter. They clipped Nat's version to hers and it was brilliant. Every father wants that - what a great tribute. It's a shame how young they both were when they died. I still have all of Natalie's recordings and her fathers too, they bring a wonderful mood to anyone.
"I've Got Love On My Mind", "This Will Be", and "Our Love" are my favorites. She has such a remarkable voice as much as he did. Nat King Cole was huge in the 50's and 60's. He passed away in 1965.
I've been a big fan of Nat King Cole since I was a grade school boy in the 50s. Nat King Cole is who you listen to when you want to snuggle with your best girl on the dance floor. His voice was silk. "Unforgettable" was his song. "Mona Lisa" was another of his signature songs.
I think Nat King Cole sang this song in the mid 1950's...He was my mother's favorite singer...I remember when he died in 1966 my mother cried for 3 days...Nat King Cole also was the fist African American to have his own tv show...His voice brings back so many good memories... Great reaction, guys...
I remember the first time they showed the video with them together - I sobbed! I adored Nat King Cole - he was a superstar and such a gentleman. I cry every single time I hear this song because we can all relate to what it is like to be able to be with your parents again after their passing. It is as close as you're going to get. Plus the perfection and gorgeousness of both of their voices. Natalie truly gave a great tribute to her father - she didn't try to overpower him with her voice - she just complimented him perfectly! It is the magic of editing, Asia (and such careful thoughtfulness)!
Beautiful song. Nat King Cole’s voice is a big part of my childhood. My dad would always play his Christmas album on Christmas morning while we opened gifts. They both have a wonderful voice. Nat is an OG crooner
Nat mostly wanted to just be a piano player in his trio but found that the powers that be preferred his singing to be front and center!.This man was given such an amazing voice that immortalized him forever and we are so blessed to have these recordings to enjoy ...Have a good one peeps!
Nat King Cole passed in 1965, Natalie was only 15 this mash-up was released in 1991. The album "Unforgettable" was release in 1991 has several duets with both Nat & Natalie.
The way you worded that makes it sound like she was 15 when this came out; I take it you mean she was 15 when her father died in 1965. While the album Unforgettable... With Love is all Natalie singing her father's hits, the title track is the only one where they created a duet with Nat King Cole. It's a great album; my parents used to listen to her father's records when I was young and it was a very nice flashback to hear her reinterpret them.
Asia, do yourself a favor and watch the video for this song. Natalie went to great lengths to make this a personal tribute to her father, Nat "King" Cole. In the video, there is a montage of photos of the two of them that will melt your heart. I believe Natalie used most of the musicians who worked with her father to produce the record of his most famous songs. She was asked early on in her career to cover this material but resisted until she felt she could properly honor him and his music. Watch the video. Have a napkin handy. And very ready for magic shared between a father and his loving daughter. Suggestions for Nat Cole reactions, RAMBLIN' ROSE A BLOSSOM FELL SEND FOR ME MONA LISA L-O-V-E and of course, it is UNFORGETTABLE from his television show back in the 195o's. I believe he was the first black man to have a variety show in history. So, yes, he was a very respected and big deal. Enjoy
Asia, I agree that you should watch the video. When I saw that you were just listening to the audio I was so frustrated that you were missing out on the beautiful, sweet, poignant video. I’m glad BJ knew the backstory and was able to fill you in on it before you finished the song. I was born in ‘62 and grew up knowing who he was. He was a huge star and highly respected. I’ve seen some of his other hit songs mentioned in the comments but so far I haven’t seen The Christmas Song mentioned. You may have heard it. The opening line is, “Chestnuts roasting on an open fire.” Classic and classy Christmas song. (You could start a list of suggested Christmas songs to react to in December. This should be at the top of the list. There are quite a few from the fifties and sixties that are great to listen to during the holidays)
Amazing re-recording. Both father and daughter were one of a kind. Their family history is so incredibly tragic I get sad whenever I think of them. "Unforgettable" hit #3 on the Adult Contemporary chart, #1 on the Canadian RPM Adult Contemporary chart, and #2 on the Australian Singles Chart. Please react to more Nat King Cole, Asia really needs to hear more of what he could do without ever breaking a sweat. His talent was and still is unmatched.
Nat King Cole has one of the most beautiful voices of all time. His version of “The Christmas Song” is one of my top Christmas songs of all time. He’s amazing. ❤
Growing up with Nat King Cole's music/voice, I was beyond thrilled when Natalie released this song and the album. I still listen to it often. I've heard others try to cover this song, but no one does it like NKC. The only vocalist who comes close is Lockie Chapman (British). His voice has a similar resonance as NKC. Check out The Overtones, live, Unforgettable, (on the program, Steppin' Out with Katherine Jenkins), Lockie sings the lead.
He was my father’s favorite singer..I remember being a kid growing listening to my parents music of Nat Cole, Sinatra,Dean Martin,Streisand,Lena Horne before I grew up listening to Elvis, the Everlys etc..just a great music vibe going on
Natalie has a wonderful voice, but her Daddy is on a different level than almost everyone else. Only a few can compare with the wonderful vocals of Nat King Cole. Every time I hear him sing, I think it's Christmas. Love you.
This reminds me of my dad. Nat was 1 of his favorites & he used to sing to me Mona Lisa. That's why he named me Lisa. I miss my daddy so much, think about him daily. Thank you for doing this, it really warmed my heart 🥲
This song has a lifetime of meaning to me. My dad played Nat King Cole back when I was a kid in the 60s. When Natalie decided to produce this remix in the 80s it just melted me. Nat used to sing to Natalie when she was a little girl. Because they are father and daughter, their voice harmonize perfectly. Thank You for sharing!
Nat "King" Cole was very famous from the late 1930s to the mid-1960s. On November 5, 1956, "The Nat 'King' Cole Show" became the first nationally broadcast television show hosted by an African American. The original recording of "Unforgettable" by Nat "King" Cole was released in October of 1951. Nat "King" Cole passed away due to lung cancer on February 15, 1965 at the age of 45 when his daughter Natalie Cole was 15 years old. The recording of "Unforgettable" with Natalie Cole duetting with her father Nat "King" Cole was released in June of 1991. The song "Unforgettable" from Natalie Cole's album of songs associated with her father entitled "Unforgettable...With Love," which was certified 7× platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), won three 1992 Grammys: Record of the Year, Traditional Pop Vocal Performance, and Arrangement Accompanying Vocals. The album won the 1992 Grammy Awards for Album of the Year and Best Engineered - Non-Classical Album. Natalie Cole was the first African-American woman to win the Grammy award for Album of the Year. Natalie's duet with her father on "Unforgettable" was also the first "virtual" duet. At the age of 6, Natalie sang on her father's Christmas album The Magic of Christmas. In a 1961 show at the Greek Theater in Los Angeles, Natalie Cole, age 11, took the stage with her father to sing a duet with him on the song "It's a Bore" from the show "Gigi." The L.A. Times critic Cecil Smith called their duet "charming" and "a delight."
This Natalie Cole won the grammy for best album the album was called You guessed it "Unfogetable" This was late 80's Early 90's. The entire album is awesome. should check it out.
I have always felt a spiritual idk, something in my soul whenever I hear this song. It's true when you are falling IN love the world is just a different place, a wonderful place you never want to leave. The world has grown cynical and I am guilty too sadly. That line, that someone so unforgettable thinks that I am unforgettable too, is really the ❤️ of being in love with another. The good book says, and the greatest of these is love and it really truly is ❣️ I love your channel guys and thanks, really for reacting and giving us your take on this iconic NKC song. PS: Natalie will forever be my secret love lol. She was gone way, way too soon😞
Cole'''s original arraignment included violin strings, giving his song a full orchestral class, later (over 25 years after his death) on the1991 album, his duo w/Natalie, the arraignment added sax, giving the song more intimacy.
Nat King Cole had one of the greatest voices in history! Pure class! Natalie had a great voice also. Nothing like the great singers from that era. That was a special time.
Nat King Cole was an unbelievable singer in the 50s. His voice was like velvet. He died at a young age due to lung cancer. He hosted a variety show for a while and you often saw him smoking. At that time tobacco companies actually told people cigarettes were good for you. The original song was a monster hit for him. Natalie also had a great voice and died at a young age also. Thanks for your reactions to these fabulous singers. Really enjoy your channel. 👏👏
This song was a huge hit for her dad Nat King Cole in 1951. You guys should check out the video for UNFORGETTABLE. It’s incredible to see her singing with her dad even though he’d long past away. They way they shot the video is awe inspiring. You really believe they’re singing a duet.
Absolutely love this song. The first time seeing the official video I got really emotional seeing father and daughter doing a duet even after his untimely death. He had one of those smooth voices that made him one of the greatest crooners of all time. My grandparents had some of his 78 rpm albums.
Natalie's whole Unforgettable album was wonderful....when I was working in retail Calvin Klein store...one of my co workers was an older lady..Theresa..this whole album was our jam. Anytime we opened the store together...we would play this front to back and sing along with every song.
RIP this father and daughter singing duo. Honestly, Nat Sr.'s voice was like _butter_ , absolutely butter. Nat King Cole was a massively successful singer and pianist of the so-called "American Songbook" jazz standards. Jazz singers and musicians of today often cover his songs.
Natalie Cole had a great career! Couple of her hits from the 70’s are my favorites. “ This Will Be” and “ I’ve Got Love On My Mind”. Check them out next! 😉😁
The ULTIMATE duet ✊️😄. Sultry, smooth & oh SO stylish 👏👏👏. This would be one of the best songs to share a special dance with your significant other to 🫵😁👍
@@AsiaandBJ … I’d be happy to do something like that with my wife as we don’t need “prompting from the studio audience” to get up & dance. This song is perfect for it ☝️😁
So glad you found this one. I remember when it first came out. I loved it right away!! Hope you'll listen to some more Natalie Cole music. So many great songs!! Pink Cadillac. ✌Nat King Cole was awesome. My parents had all his records. This blending was so beautiful.
This song is from Natalie Cole's album "Unforgettable, With Love" released on June 11, 1991, 26 years after her father's death. On this album, she covered many of her dad's popular songs and it won her several Grammys and many other awards.
Asia and BJ ,🎶🎶 Nat was one of giants of jazz ,please do more. He was playing the piano at age 4, led his own band at 18yrs. Did some acting, had his own TV show. He co-wrote some of his songs. This is not the first time Nat and Natalie sang together they along with sister Carol they sang " AIN'T SHE SWEET ".
This audio version is superb, but you have to see the video of them singing together. I guarantee, the video version will hit you on a different level.
Back in the 90s when I had to drive in traffic and it would make me so angry, I started listening to an album of Nat's greatest hits to calm myself and put myself in a better frame of mind. It worked too!
This man is the timeless epitome of class and elegance! He was such a good man! If you get the chance, watch the documentary about him called “Nat King Cole-Afraid of the Dark”-I cried my eyes out. One of greatest singers EVER.
This was the song our daughter chose for the father daughter dance at her wedding reception. Nat King Cole was an American treasure. He was the first black entertainer to have his own network television show. His voice was smooth as silk. He is truly an unforgettable icon in the music industry. This duet was beautifully done with his talented daughter blending their voice’s together to bring this gem to a new generation of music lovers. Sadly, she lost her beloved father when she was very young, just as I did.
Not only was Nat King Cole one of the 3 greatest male singers of standards of all time, but he was also one of the top 5 greatest jazz pianists of all time. Listen to him doing such incredible songs as "Mona Lisa", "On The Street Where You Live", "Nature Boy", "The Very Thought Of You", "Smile", "Let There Be Love", "Stardust", "Too Young", "Sweet Lorraine", and of course "The Christmas Song" of which his is the classic version.
Nat Cole was in a different universe his entire professional life. (And he’s got the catalog to prove it) Natalie was a great artist in her own right, but this was Top Shelf for her and as a technical achievement.
Nat King Cole is a true legend with a beautiful and unmistakable singing voice. Natalie's voice is beautiful too...she probably had professional sound engineers to get her recording to have the same sound as Nat's recording has.
At the time they made this recording this mash up was considered ground breaking from a technical perspective and got loads of publicity. I personally had the unforgettable album by Natalie on high rotate in my car for quite some time every song was a cover of a Nat King Cole classic
This is an iconic re-recording of an iconic song. It's such a beautiful recording like they meant sing it together. But Asia you to the original a year ago.
Just my opinion, but I think this is one of the most beautiful songs ever. I was born in the fifty's and have fond memories of my parents listening to this.
Natalie did an entire album of Dads songs. It was all part of her comeback into the music business after a hard stretch of serious personal problems. What a great idea to do that entire album.
He had a one-of-a-kind voice. Nobody could sing this like Nat. As with Hank Williams and Hank Jr., technology made it possible for them to sing with their dad's. Nat King Cole passed in 1965 at the age of 45. Natalie passed in 2015 at the age of 65. Unforgettable was published in 1951. Check out Hank Williams Sr and Jr singing "There's a Tear in my Beer".
Nat Ling Cole sang the song in 1951. He died in 1965. Natalie did her version in 1991. Both were beautiful. Nat was an amazing singer; as was his daughter. Natalie was just 15 years old when her father died.
If he was big is a huge understatement. He was one of the most popular beloved singers the world over and I other languages. In my opinion the greatest voice. He had so many famous songs you’ve heard in many movies. “Smile,” Mona Lisa, the Autumn Leaves, “L-o-v-e,” Tenderly, Nature Boy, the list is endless. Do definitely listen to Unforgettable by himself.
Nat 'King' Cole was a legend in his own right. A man with a velvety-smooth voice and an imitable, classy style. Nat was the first black singer to host a nationally broadcast TV program in prime time. His recording of 'The Christmas Song' (Chestnuts roasting on an open fire....) is considered the definitive version. You should check out his classics like: "Too Young"; "Mona Lisa"; "When I Fall in Love".
Asia & BJ, you'll love Natalie's "I've Got Love on My Mind" and "This Will Be"!!!!, and Nat's "Mona Lisa", "Pretend" and "(I Love You) For Sentimental Reasons"!!!!

They re-recorded the music with an orchestra. They used her father's original vocal and Natalie sang the duet with the recording using his voice. You need to see her do it live with her dad on a big screen and photos of her and her dad as she was growing up. She did a whole album of her father's songs, actually, she did two. This song was a HUGE hit when she released it, and she did a whole tour singing her fathers songs.
From my memory bank, I believe it cost $750,000 to remaster this song in1990. David Foster added the saxophone solo in the middle of the song.
@@stephentaylor6617 Right
This is an iconic Nat King Cole song and his biggest song. For the original song featuring Nat King Cole it was recorded with an orchestra leader and arranger Nelson Riddle in 1951.

A hilarious take on a singer who will not sing that type of music. He goes thru several R&R songs and the crowd can't stop laughing. Take a listen.
One of my ALL TIME favorite songs......thank you both !!!!!!!!
Natalie Cole's tribute to her father with this song in 1991 gets me every time. It won numerous Grammy awards. Nat "King" Cole released this song in 1951. Because that was also the year my parents got married, my brother, sister, and I dedicated this song to them on their 50th wedding anniversary.
To Nat and Natalie, rest in peace, rest in power.
The epitome of class. The ultimate slow dance "Melt With YOU" ...
My sisters and I threw my parents a party for their 50th wedding anniversary. This was the song we chose for their first dance. Five years later on their 55th wedding anniversary my dad was diagnosed with an untreatable tumor. They had their last dance to this song. This will always be my most favorite song!

I co-sign to This Will Be. In my top 5

Yes!! Iconic megastar Nat King Cole. What his daughter did after his passing was the first voice over duet. Unmatched collaboration.🙏🏾
Beautiful song. Nat King Cole’s voice is a big part of my childhood. My dad would always play his Christmas album on Christmas morning while we opened gifts. They both have a wonderful voice. Nat is an OG crooner
Such a beautiful song, and Natalie added to it.

Nat King Cole passed in 1965, Natalie was only 15 this mash-up was released in 1991. The album "Unforgettable" was release in 1991 has several duets with both Nat & Natalie.
She was born before Nat died so she was much older. To be only 15 in 1991, she would have been born 10 years after her father died.
The way you worded that makes it sound like she was 15 when this came out; I take it you mean she was 15 when her father died in 1965.
While the album Unforgettable... With Love is all Natalie singing her father's hits, the title track is the only one where they created a duet with Nat King Cole.

Since I was a small boy, Nat King Cole is the most comforting voice I have ever heard.
Absolutely incredible song, he had a huge hit with this song in the 50s.
Had this played at my wedding. There will never be another Nat King Cole. Class act!!🎵🎵
Oh man, my Dad used to listen to this song. It’s so beautiful.
Nat King Cole has one of the most beautiful voices of all time. His version of “The Christmas Song” is one of my top Christmas songs of all time. He’s amazing. ❤

He was my father’s favorite singer..I remember being a kid growing listening to my parents music of Nat Cole, Sinatra,Dean Martin,Streisand,Lena Horne before I grew up listening to Elvis, the Everlys etc..just a great music vibe going on
Natalie has a wonderful voice, but her Daddy is on a different level than almost everyone else. Only a few can compare with the wonderful vocals of Nat King Cole. Every time I hear him sing, I think it's Christmas.
Love you.
She even made a video to go with it, it's so cool!
Natalie Cole❤❤ Wow. Dad passed that beautiful voice on to his daughter.
This reminds me of my dad. Nat was 1 of his favorites & he used to sing to me Mona Lisa. That's why he named me Lisa. I miss my daddy so much, think about him daily. Thank you for doing this, it really warmed my heart 🥲
It was audio editing. They were both a class act. This duet is timeless! They both have a volume of work that will withstand the test of time!
This song has a lifetime of meaning to me. My dad played Nat King Cole back when I was a kid in the 60s. When Natalie decided to produce this remix in the 80s it just melted me.

We danced to this in cotillion. We were the unforgettable ladies of 1995. Great memories ❤
Another duet was When I Fall In Love that she recorded with her dad's vocals you will like it too

Nat King Cole was loved by so many. Especially my family. We watched him every week. David Foster was instrumental in putting this duet together.
Such a great classic song! Father/daughter duets are always sweet :)
This Natalie Cole won the grammy for best album the album was called You guessed it "Unfogetable" This was late 80's Early 90's. The entire album is awesome. should check it out.
I have always felt a spiritual idk, something in my soul whenever I hear this song. It's true when you are falling IN love the world is just a different place, a wonderful place you never want to leave. The world has grown cynical and I am guilty too sadly. That line, that someone so unforgettable thinks that I am unforgettable too, is really the ❤️ of being in love with another. The good book says, and the greatest of these is love and it really truly is ❣️ I love your channel guys and thanks, really for reacting and giving us your take on this iconic NKC song.
PS: Natalie will forever be my secret love lol. She was gone way, way too soon😞
Cole'''s original arraignment included violin strings, giving his song a full orchestral class, later (over 25 years after his death) on the1991 album, his duo w/Natalie, the arraignment added sax, giving the song more intimacy.
Nat King Cole had one of the greatest voices in history! Pure class! Natalie had a great voice also. Nothing like the great singers from that era. That was a special time.
Nat King Cole was an unbelievable singer in the 50s. His voice was like velvet. He died at a young age due to lung cancer. He hosted a variety show for a while and you often saw him smoking. At that time tobacco companies actually told people cigarettes were good for you. The original song was a monster hit for him. Natalie also had a great voice and died at a young age also. Thanks for your reactions to these fabulous singers. Really enjoy your channel. 👏👏
This song was a huge hit for her dad Nat King Cole in 1951. You guys should check out the video for UNFORGETTABLE. It’s incredible to see her singing with her dad even though he’d long past away. They way they shot the video is awe inspiring. You really believe they’re singing a duet.
Absolutely love this song. The first time seeing the official video I got really emotional seeing father and daughter doing a duet even after his untimely death. He had one of those smooth voices that made him one of the greatest crooners of all time. My grandparents had some of his 78 rpm albums.
Natalie's whole Unforgettable album was wonderful....when I was working in retail Calvin Klein store...one of my co workers was an older lady..Theresa..this whole album was our jam. Anytime we opened the store together...we would play this front to back and sing along with every song.
I love dancing with my wife to this song. Probably one of the most beautiful songs I’ve heard.
RIP this father and daughter singing duo. Honestly, Nat Sr.'s voice was like _butter_ , absolutely butter. Nat King Cole was a massively successful singer and pianist of the so-called "American Songbook" jazz standards. Jazz singers and musicians of today often cover his songs.
Natalie Cole had a great career! Couple of her hits from the 70’s are my favorites.
“ This Will Be” and “ I’ve Got Love On My Mind”. Check them out next! 😉😁
In 1992, Natalie's album by the same title won 5 Grammy awards including this song as Record of the Year and also Album of the Year.
The ULTIMATE duet ✊️😄. Sultry, smooth & oh SO stylish 👏👏👏. This would be one of the best songs to share a special dance with your significant other to 🫵😁👍
Couldn't agree more!
@@AsiaandBJ … I’d be happy to do something like that with my wife as we don’t need “prompting from the studio audience” to get up & dance. This song is perfect for it ☝️😁
My dad and I danced to this song at my wedding. I miss him, every day. 🥰
So glad you found this one. I remember when it first came out. I loved it right away!! Hope you'll listen to some more Natalie Cole music. So many great songs!! Pink Cadillac. ✌Nat King Cole was awesome. My parents had all his records. This blending was so beautiful.
This song is from Natalie Cole's album "Unforgettable, With Love" released on June 11, 1991, 26 years after her father's death. On this album, she covered many of her dad's popular songs and it won her several Grammys and many other awards.
This was brilliantly put together, her Father did the original. Both Natalie and her Father are no longer with us!
😢😢😢😢yes so sad . R.I.P. to them both ❤️🙏😢😢❤️❤️
Asia and BJ ,🎶🎶 Nat was one of giants of jazz ,please do more. He was playing the piano at age 4, led his own band at 18yrs. Did some acting, had his own TV show. He co-wrote some of his songs. This is not the first time Nat and Natalie sang together they along with sister Carol they sang " AIN'T SHE SWEET ".
A cold rainy day when I was young, keeping cosy in the. house.
Mum would have this music playing.
This audio version is superb, but you have to see the video of them singing together.
I guarantee, the video version will hit you on a different level.
Back in the 90s when I had to drive in traffic and it would make me so angry, I started listening to an album of Nat's greatest hits to calm myself and put myself in a better frame of mind. It worked too!
Asia, BJ… I’m surprised the 2 of you didn’t get up out of your chairs & have a special slow dance with each other 🤗🤗🤗
Us too!❤️
@@AsiaandBJ … It would’ve been the perfect setting to do so but nonetheless… It’s ALWAYS a treat when you deliver true soul like this 👍😁
This man is the timeless epitome of class and elegance! He was such a good man! If you get the chance, watch the documentary about him called “Nat King Cole-Afraid of the Dark”-I cried my eyes out. One of greatest singers EVER.
This was the song our daughter chose for the father daughter dance at her wedding reception. Nat King Cole was an American treasure. He was the first black entertainer to have his own network television show. His voice was smooth as silk. He is truly an unforgettable icon in the music industry. This duet was beautifully done with his talented daughter blending their voice’s together to bring this gem to a new generation of music lovers. Sadly, she lost her beloved father when she was very young, just as I did.
Not only was Nat King Cole one of the 3 greatest male singers of standards of all time, but he was also one of the top 5 greatest jazz pianists of all time. Listen to him doing such incredible songs as "Mona Lisa", "On The Street Where You Live", "Nature Boy", "The Very Thought Of You", "Smile", "Let There Be Love", "Stardust", "Too Young", "Sweet Lorraine", and of course "The Christmas Song" of which his is the classic version.
This is Christmas music in our home. Gets played from time to time though out the year too.
Nat Cole was in a different universe his entire professional life. (And he’s got the catalog to prove it) Natalie was a great artist in her own right, but this was Top Shelf for her and as a technical achievement.
This video was so emotional as it was shown at a Grammy awards show.
Nat King Cole is one of my favorite male vocalists of all time. Always puts me in a wonderful mood.
Nat King Cole was one of the pioneer in jazz-swing music along with Bing, Frank, and Dean.
Music makes the World a better place......
🥰🌹❤️👋👋
Great classic song and Natalie nailed this by doing a duet with her Father
Nat King Cole is a true legend with a beautiful and unmistakable singing voice. Natalie's voice is beautiful too...she probably had professional sound engineers to get her recording to have the same sound as Nat's recording has.
Used to watch Mr. Cole's TV show. Always liked his voice.
Beautiful song and beautiful voices
At the time they made this recording this mash up was considered ground breaking from a technical perspective and got loads of publicity. I personally had the unforgettable album by Natalie on high rotate in my car for quite some time every song was a cover of a Nat King Cole classic
This is an iconic re-recording of an iconic song. It's such a beautiful recording like they meant sing it together. But Asia you to the original a year ago.
Just my opinion, but I think this is one of the most beautiful songs ever. I was born in the fifty's and have fond memories of my parents listening to this.
Natalie did an entire album of Dads songs. It was all part of her comeback into the music business after a hard stretch of serious personal problems. What a great idea to do that entire album.
He had a one-of-a-kind voice. Nobody could sing this like Nat. As with Hank Williams and Hank Jr., technology made it possible for them to sing with their dad's. Nat King Cole passed in 1965 at the age of 45. Natalie passed in 2015 at the age of 65. Unforgettable was published in 1951. Check out Hank Williams Sr and Jr singing "There's a Tear in my Beer".
Also check out Natalie's songs. This Will Be is one of my favs. May she RIP
Nat Ling Cole sang the song in 1951. He died in 1965. Natalie did her version in 1991. Both were beautiful. Nat was an amazing singer; as was his daughter. Natalie was just 15 years old when her father died.
Iconic singers. Two great voices
If he was big is a huge understatement. He was one of the most popular beloved singers the world over and I other languages. In my opinion the greatest voice. He had so many famous songs you’ve heard in many movies. “Smile,” Mona Lisa, the Autumn Leaves, “L-o-v-e,” Tenderly, Nature Boy, the list is endless. Do definitely listen to Unforgettable by himself.
Nat 'King' Cole was a legend in his own right. A man with a velvety-smooth voice and an imitable, classy style. Nat was the first black singer to host a nationally broadcast TV program in prime time. His recording of 'The Christmas Song' (Chestnuts roasting on an open fire....) is considered the definitive version. You should check out his classics like: "Too Young"; "Mona Lisa"; "When I Fall in Love".
Congrats on 250K!
Asia & BJ, you'll love Natalie's "I've Got Love on My Mind" and "This Will Be"!!!!,
and Nat's "Mona Lisa", "Pretend" and "(I Love You) For Sentimental Reasons"!!!!
This was considered a technical marvel in it's day, but it launched a great career for a great talent. Please take a look at Natalie's catalog.
Yes and he had a tv show also. He was dead when she did this song.
This song should illustrate to all of us how beautiful all people are...
Asia....come to Puerto Vallarta so I can teach you bout the old 🎵...and please so more Natalie! You will love...I got love in my mind!
This was the song my wife and I danced to at our wedding.
I remember when this came out... simply outstanding
