Excellent choice with the incomparable Nat King Cole and outstanding commentary 👏 👌 my man!! You are a Natural. Love your energy, and I will be back. 😊
Such an incredible voice. I could listen to Nat King Cole all day. He just had so much class. Very sad that he died at a young age from lung cancer.
THANK YOU for your reaction to this song. I fell in love with Nat King Cole in 1959 when I was 7 years old! And this is the most romantic song I'd ever heard.
Wow! I started listening to him in 1960 (at 5)! Loved him then...love him now!
Such a legend. Love his smooth silky voice. He was an American singer, jazz pianist & actor. He recorded over 100 songs that became hits on the pop charts. He is best known for "Mona Lisa" & "Unforgettable" but he had so many great hits such as "(Get Your Kicks on) Route 66", "(I Love You) For Sentimental Reasons", "There! I've Said It Again", "Nature Boy", "Ramblin' Rose", "Autumn Leaves", "Smile", "Those Lazy-Hazy-Crazy Days of Summer" etc.
I absolutely love Nat King Cole and this song is my favourite by him. Thanks Daniel Volke. So great to hear this during the season. There has never been a singer who sounds like him. Thank Harri for this great reaction. 👏👏🇨🇦🇨🇦
I first started listening to Nat King Cole when I was 6 years old 1954. He has been my favorite male singer since. His voice is silk
A generation of fabulous music and vocalists. Cole was gifted with a voice from the heavens and good looks and character
I grew up with Nat King Cole.. The greatest. I can listen to him for hours. Beautiful voice so comfortig. My parents loved him
This & "Those Lazy, Hazy, Crazy Days Of Summer" are 2 of his best!!
He had the most beautiful voice !! "Unforgettable" is my favorite, but all of his songs are great. Thanks to Daniel and Harri
Thanks Gin for the kind remarks. 🙃👍🇺🇸🇨🇦🇬🇧🤴
The '50s & '6os had fantastic music!!
One of the greatest singers/ musicians of all times. He had a voice like silk.Not only did he have to deal with his show being canceled.But when he tried to buy a house in a all white neighborhood he met with resistance.Yet he handled it all with dignity and pride Hopefully we have made some strides You need to listen to his recording of Nature boy.Harri it will blow you away ✌️
His voice is unlike any other artist. Beautiful song !
Thank you for playing this tune. It reminds me of meeting my wife in NYC back in the 60's. One of the best songs i have ever heard and i have been listening since the early 50's.
Yes awesome vocals..a priceless talent...his Capitol record sessions are to die for...Thanks Harri
His timing came from his jazz piano playing an amazing fact he was tone deaf and had to sing everything in the same key. His variety show was in the 50s and his show was the first to go from 15min to 30 and he coined the phrase Madison Avenue is afraid 😨 of the dark you should listen to autumn leaves by Nat sung in french
Another great singer, whose fabulous voice was only discovered, more or less, by accident. As the regular pianist in a combo, Nat was forced to sing one evening when the regular singer failed to show. What a happy, fortuitous discovery that was for the music world! One of the greatest singing voices ever.
Great song by the greatest singer
I never got along with my stepdad but at a young age he introduced me to this type of music. Nat King Cole,Glenn Miller,Johnny Mathis- I was listening to rock of course and he told me I needed to listen to this kind of music too and wow am I so glad that he did! Some days you just need to sit back and enjoy the greats
Classic song. One of my favorite songs in any genre.
How could any living creature be blessed with such talent?😮
One of my favorite songs by him! Another great one is Too Young
Great reaction... I was blessed to be a musician since 1960 and I remember to impact Cole had on me. My Dad played and sang his songs and we listened to him on the regular. He was a phenomenal musician AND singer! By the way, this whole performance is available on RUclips. It was filmed in Great Britain and the young lady reaching for Nat's hat probably got a pass.
You are correct. He is the pinnacle.
I believe that that group of incredible backup singers were regulars on Nat's weekly TV Show.
There's Nat King Cole, and then there's the rest! Maybe check out a movie he starred in, St Louis Blues (1958) based on the life of W C Handy. The soundtrack alone includes Pearl Bailey, Cab Calloway, Ella Fitzgerald, Eartha Kitt, Barney Bigard, and Mahalia Jackson. Talk about "diamonds in your ears!"
You're absolutely right, Harri!
I have to agree with you, he was one of the best. And this was my favorite song by him
Amen my Brother.. I've often wondered why this song never hit the top of the charts.. I was fortunate enough to catch the many appearances of his when he performed at the Chicago Theatre.. I can rubber stamp what your saying about his not being able to secure sponsors to keep his broadcast on the air.. thanks for sharing the history behind this Greater than Great Artist..
You can feel his story in his song.
Nat was as great a composer as he was a singer. Thanks for sharing, Harri!
Thanks, Harry for sharing this by this very special artist! I didn't know that he didn't have any sponsors issues with his show, I know my parents watched his TV show.
Great background singers, too.
This goes back to real music. Talent was required to perform. I remember him on tv on Sunday nights.
What a voice! I can remember my parents listening to this music. We didn’t agree on much in our musical tastes but this is definitely an exception. Beautiful!🌺✌️
Pure effortless genius.
This goes back to when talent was required to perform on tv. I remember watching him on Sunday nights. His show was canceled because they could not get sponcers
One of the greatest voices ever! Harri, you should react to Nat's amazing song "Caravan." It is upbeat, jazzy and will take you to a desert caravan in your mind.
Every word, I agree with. To live at that time, that writing & arrangements, that voice.
Smooth crooner One of the very best
I feel so fortunate to have enjoyed Nat all the way through to Angelina Jordan ,music warms my imagination! What an epic journey.
Back in the 50s, there were several (I don't know 8 or 9) "girl singers" who were very popular, with their own 'hits'. Many came from the Big Bands which had lost much of their popularity after the War. It was a short time, and a special time before the advent of Rock 'n Roll.
NAT!!! A of of these songs bring tears of remembrance to my eyes.
Nat Cole could have sung nothing but "Happy Birthday" for a whole album, and I would have bought it.
Yep, no one better!
Great song. Great reaction. He did so many songs. Pure joy & class. There's one song hardly ever played, though: A Thousand Thoughts Of You. Maybe you could find & react to that one.
My mother passed away due to dementia, this is a good memory though. My father was strictly a country/western bluegrass listener. With dementia, there are no filters on mom. Dad is pretty deaf. So, of course the music was always LOUD. Mom pops out and says "Could someone please turn that sh*t down!" I asked her what she wanted to listen to. She says for once, just once, put some Nat King Cole on. Shocked me, she was married to him for 65 years and hated country music. LOL! Sad too, I've always liked Nat King Cole. I'd have played it as a teen occasionally instead of The Who or Rolling Stones. 😂
Your anecdote is the very definition of what real love is all about.
A one-in-a-million voice.
His show was on NBC. It began as a 15 minute show in November 1956, but became popular and was increased to a half hour show. It was sponsored by regional sponsor Rheingold Beer. The show could not get a national sponsor. NBC got big Stars like Harry Belafonte, Peggy Lee, Eartha Kitt, Tony Bennett, Mel Torme ,and many other big names. Alas it was not enough and the show was canceled in December, 1957. Nat later stated that, "Madison Avenue was afraid of the Dark." A sad time in America. Thanks Harri. You are the greatest, by a mile. 🙃🇨🇦🇺🇸🌏🔥👍💟🕊️
From what I heard the network wanted to continue but Nat decided to end it and that's when he said his famous quote about Madison ave
@@HenryInHawaii Yeah, I think you are right. The network loved him but getting sponsors was the problem. I know he was almost killed while doing a concert in Alabama when four men attacked him and one of the men got ahold of him when security came to his aid . Now that would be scary. He said he was still going to do concerts . A brave man . I admired him for sure and many others. It was a tough time. Thanks for your helpful insight . 👍🕊️🇺🇸🇨🇦💟🔥🙃
Of all the crooners, for me, Nat wins the smooth contest…❤️
I once read that this was President Kennedy's favorite song.
The Dinah Washington version is the One he's referring to.
a voice like no other.
Check out L-O-V-E the multilingual version,Mr. Cole Won't Rock and Roll and his Cildern album "King Cole For Kids" check out "Kee-Mo-Ky-Mo(The Magic Song)" Actually that young lady was reaching out to give him back the ukulele. I have the DVD for this British TV special (1961) The vocal group was his singers from "THE NAT. KING COLE SHOW"
Try Natalie Cole solo, you pick then "Unforgettable" (with Nat King Cole)
❤❤❤thank you❤❤❤
Listen to his "Autumn Leaves"
Check out the virtual concert between Nat King Cole and his daughter Natalie Cole singing Unforgetable.
The lady reaching out to him was actually handing him a ukulele that he had on stage.
No one can ever top Nat King Cole - such a velvety voice and great phrasing. No matter what he sings it sounds great. The only singer with better phrasing is Frank Sinatra - the master of phrasing.
I have to disagree... respect to Frank.... but no one beats Nat on phrasing and enunciation.... afterall he's the KING....
@@kennyjames3697 I totally Agree Sir. Nat King Cole was a CONSUMATE MASTER at phrasing and enunciation.
That Sunday that Summer with the Cliff Adams Singers ? Why ? What was he doing with them ? Surely not our Nat. Tut tut Lol
Have to listen to Nat's version of Hoagy Carmichael's Stardust.
Harri i see you really liked this song. I know you would like Billy Stewarts song Summertime. Also Sitting in the Park by Billy.Shame he had to pass at an early age he was a very talented musician.
Yes. Billy Stewart is my favorite male singer. Like Nat King Cole Billy Stewart also had a unique style of singing. His phrasing was also unique.Dont know if you have heard his live version of summertime recorded live at the Nixon theater. If not it will blow you away✌️
@@supersonicsoulsupreme1414 I remember that song well for all those years it stuck in my mind since the first time I heard him Summertime. and Waiting in the Park. 1966 I believe Summertime came out in 1966 on the radio charts. Thanks I'll have to check the live version of Summer Time out.
She may very well have "gotten in trouble." In the mid 1950's Sports Illustrated's cover had Willie Mays, Leo Durocher, and a white lady (who I think owned the San Franciso Giants). Anyway, she had her arm resting on Mays' shoulder. SI got thousands of outraged letters..."an insult to white women everywhere..." Anybody who doesn't think that level of hate has continued to percolate down through the generations is fooling themselves, or still eaten up with hate themselves.
Another great one to check out by him is "Those Lazy, Crazy, Hazy Days of Summer" - ruclips.net/video/7OZrNDtRltg/видео.html
Musicians, singers, performers...grab pencil and paper and take notes. You are viewing a true master.
Maybe the goat, even the great Frank Sinatra once said that Mr Cole was the best among them. Sinatra was very respectfull to mr Cole
Try his song L.O.V.E.(you probably know it but 🤷♂️ no one has ever reacted to it!!)
Perhaps my favorite of his live takes. Love it so much! Here's another great interpretation of this very great song - ruclips.net/video/KMBIagfrmzQ/видео.html
May interest a lot of you to know that this was JFK's favorite song....:)
No one like him. Not then...not now...not ever.
You are so wrong, I met Bob wells long time ago at his house in Malibu. He wrote "The Christmas Song," chestnuts roasting over a open fire.....with Mel Tromie. He said that Nat was quit a ladies man and held in high regard with anyone he met. He might have been seeing that woman, but watch him when she is singing.........he likes it. Bob also said Nat thought his 4 pack a day Pall Mall cigarettes' had a lot to do with his throaty success........He also said Nat was treated like royalty on every set. You are wrong about the prejudice, it was around but not like you suggest....
Sadly, he died of throat cancer, I believe?
This was from his TV show, but I don't remember any controversy around it.
"it's hard to believe it." It should be hard to believe because what you are saying about the racial opposition to the show is total tired b*ll Sh*t! simply and utterly untrue.I watched the show regularly as a kid, enjoying it greatly with my mother and brother. My mother and her friends in the neighborhood all seemed to have a decided crush on this so suave, classy handsome guy. He was a regular matinee idol for sure. I was well aware of the "romantic" aspect of his appeal to the moms in my neighborhood, although I didn't really yet understand it, still it was palpable.. After all that's why the show got on the air to begin with; because the majority of audiences white and black loved Nat King Cole, his suave, elegant looks and demeanor and his inimatbly beautiful smooth insinuating vocal sound and phrasing. I don't remember having any interest in anything regarding his being black. Nor did I ever hear a single syllable spoken about it one way or the other from anyone at any time. He was one of a handful of top pop singers who was widely loved and sought after. I did hear years later that it was in the South, the ignorant backward South - (where incidentally Catholics like myself were then often viewed as "unAmerica" or worse) where there was stauch opposition to the show , and since it was a national show of course, many advertisers whose only interest is in their bottom line gradually felt impelled to withdraw their advertisements. But it must be understood that the vast majority of American's enthusiastically welcomed Nat into their homes on a weekly basis and were deeply disappointed I'm sure when he was cancelled, and little did they know the reason why he had been cancelled. I assure you the real reason would not have been reported..We are a hugh country with a number of different region, regions which are sharply divide when it come s to certain issues. It is entirely wrong and reprehensible of you to paint all Americans with the same broad brush as you do here.with this hurtful slander of yours.
Natalie Cole’s rendition of this song is also a masterpiece
