A little about me and this channel:
My name is James Aubrey IV and I just recently graduated college from Iowa State University. After college I decided to take a leap of faith. So I moved to San Diego California to pursue my passion for videography/ RUclips. Overall I'm a pretty chill person, outside of RUclips I like to longboard, dance, play video games, lift weights and hangout with my friends. I know that success on RUclips won't happen overnight but I'm willing to stay patient and put in the work to try to prefect my craft daily. This RUclips channel will be centered around my life after college. You will be able to see all of the ups and downs on my journey to success. So if you like the content make sure you subscribe so you can be apart of the Rome Life Family. (Let's build our own personal Rome's together.)
What is the Rome Life ? And What does it mean to be apart of it?
Rome Life is something I started during my Sophomore year of high school (one of the worst times in my life) it started off as me documenting my journey to recovery from my shoulder surgery but eventually it turned into a platform that I could use to encourage myself as well as others to chase our dreams.
Rome Life isn't just a saying it's a way of life and for the people who want to be apart of it have to realize that. Rome wasn't built in a day it took a lot of handwork time and most importantly patience. So you can't expect your dreams to be any different

His daughter, Natalie Cole, also a singer, made a duet with her dad of this song. It is stunning. She is now deceased. You should check it out.
Yes please watch the video of Natalie Cole and her father Nat King Cole singing Unforgettable together. Beautiful.
ruclips.net/video/DhpmxjRXneY/видео.html
Yeah, I agree, I think she took it to the next level.
We used that duet for the Father/Daughter dance at her wedding.
It's a beautiful video.
He was the first black artist to host a nationwide show in the USA. It was _The Nat King Cole Show,_ on NBC, beginning in 1956. It lasted a little over a year and had good ratings. Unfortunately, it was killed by racism -- NBC could never find any nationwide advertisers for the program. After it's demise, Nat was quoted as saying, "Madison Avenue is afraid of the dark." ("Madison Avenue" used to be a common shorthand phrase for large advertising firms, several of which were located on Madison Avenue in New York City.)
You can find a few episodes of the show if you look around they are still very entertaining.
Well you taught me something. Thanks
well, advertisers are always afraid of everything that consists of the remotest risk. It's not limited to race. I work in a corporate job, and most marketing folks are hacks who are so disconnected with reality and the greater culture and merely think they know what the trends are. In 1956, it's fear of a black man being unpalatable to people. In 2020, it's fear of Twitter. Advertisers aren't racist per se, they just stand for nothing but the bottom line
The one thing I read, and still find rerribly distressing, as a white woman, is when Nat K. C was successful he had a house in L. A, and 2 boxer dogs that he adored . Racists threw poisoned meat into his garden and killed them. What a cowardly, evil, disgusting thing to do. Makes me ashamed 🙏🏾🙏🏻😔 If you could, try Stardust by NKC His voice and the way he pronounces his words is nothing short of perfection
@@Fear_the_Nog bottom line always being MONEY
He was also an excellent jazz pianist. One of the vocal gods. His daughter , Natalie, inherited the vocal talent. After he passed, she sang a gorgeous duet with this film of him. It was a big hit.
The duet was digitally made, Natalie sang, her deceased father's voice was from an original recording
Probably one the clearest, most perfect voices ever. Try "When I Fall in Love".
Nat King Cole referred to this song as an "oldie" because this performance is from sometime in the 1960's and he recorded this song in 1952 (which would make the song an oldie of his).
1951 😉
The song was written by Irving Gordon.
I have always loved Nat King Cole's voice. Its just smooth as butter. Other favorite songs of his are Mona Lisa, Walking My Baby Back Home, and Lazy Hazy Crazy Days of Summer.
Let there be Love..
yes.
A Nightingale Sang In Barkley Square, Autumn Leaves
IT WAS THOSE LAZY HAZY CRAZY DAYS OF SUMMER .. GET SOME POPCORN AND PEANUTS AND BEER? LAST PART TO I'M A LIMBERJACK AND I'M OK WHAT? PART OF THE CHORUS.
My father loved country music. I don't remember mom ever objecting. Until she had dementia. Late stage, dad is near deaf and turned it up. I'll never forget her saying "Turn that shit off! Can't you for once play a Nat King Cole song?" LOL, funny stuff. RIP Mom. We miss you!
Nat King Cole’s voice sounds the way velvet feels. He is mom’s favorite artist, along with The Platters, also a group you should check out.
Exactly how i always felt about his voice , velvet, you nailed it!
Yes.
Definitely a favorite of my mom, too ❤
I was just going to make the same comparison to silk.
HISTORY - in the 1940's and 1950's the most popular style of music was "crooning" (romantic singing like this song) Frank Sinatra and Nat King Cole were big artists in this type of music. In the mid 1950's Rock N Roll was born because younger people wanted more upbeat music to dance to (like Elvis Presley)
His Christmas CD!..... You most likely know the iconic song 'Chestnuts
Roasting On An Open Fire' ( Merry Christmas Song) of course not yet... too soon.
It's never too soon for The Christmas Song. Mel Torme (The Velvet Fog) co-wrote it in the middle of a summer heat wave. They were so hot that they decided to write a song about the coldest things they could think up.
Ah yes, the man with the velvet voice. I was a teenager in the 80s when I first fell in love with Nat. My friends thought I was crazy, lol.
So true.
"Unforgettable" was written by Irving Gordon. The song his daughter sang "with" him was about 30 years after his death. You've GOT to check that one out, even if it's not to do as a reaction; just for your own enjoyment. It's one of the most touching things I've ever seen. It was this song...unforgettable...and it WAS unforgettable. Great reaction to this lovely classic.
Amen.
Oh, yeah. When Nat King Cole looks straight into the camera and radiates the full power of his charisma, he pretty much melts the entire television audience. And the sly confidence in his smile tells you he knows exactly what he's doing.
It would have been a terrifying superpower if he had ever used it for evil. Fortunately for America, he only used it for good.
Except for that Kennedy thing...
The song was written by Irving Gordon and Nat King Cole was the first to sing it (on his album which released in 1952). I think he called it an oldie here because it was years before the day he was singing it on this video.
You hear Nat King Cole song every year at Christmas, and it's called the Christmas song.
It's not Christmas without it
Chestnuts Roasting on an open fire…
Although a separate one for Christmas could be Bob Rivers’ variation: Chipmunks roasting on an open fire.
Please react to "What A Wonderful World" by Louis Armstrong
Really good song
He had such a beautiful voice and such a loving and sweet manner. Try Mona Lisa, the one I first heard as a child.
Nat King Cole is amazing. Really a songwriter and piano player. His talent along with the timing of radio made his music the first Popular music in a Nationwide sense.
His voice really was like velvet. There is a version of this song that he sort of sings with his daughter Natalie. His video is playing a she sings with it. It's really beautiful. Natalie was a big star in her own right.
I have to tell you, he has a remarkable voice--he's my favourite male singer. Have loved his singing since I was a young kid--and that's a long time!
I'm over fifty and still have tears welling up when I hear the duet with his daughter Natalie, though done after his passing, which is a beautiful tribute to Nat. Sadly we've lost Natalie as well. As beautiful as her father's voice and as graceful as his presence.
I adore Nat King Cole try his song Ramblin Rose or Mona Lisa
Mona Lisa!
This is another artist from my Dad’s era. An amazing voice, timeless and with no effort.
Johnny Mathis "Chances Are". ruclips.net/video/NEH3uqbpsm8/видео.html Johnny was much younger.
Oh Lord, I just started crying! Some people really have it. Thanks for playing this!
You need to hear some Ella Fitzgerald. Try 'Night and Day', 'We'll Take Manhattan', 'Our Love is Here to Stay' or 'Every Time we say Goodbye'.
His version of “The Christmas Song” is my absolute favorite Christmas song of all time.
The best version of this is Nat singing with his daughter Natalie after his death.
Nat King Cole is my all-time favorite singer. Simply the smoothest, most beautiful voice I've ever heard.
Loving the old reactions! Going to start lobbying hard for Benny Goodman's "Sing, Sing, Sing"
Me too, me too!
Nat had the most beautiful voice!! My personal favorite of his is For Sentimental Reasons (I Love You). You should also check L.O.V.E. That song is a little more upbeat and similar to the Sinatra and Bobby Darin tunes that you’ve checked out
My Gramma would listen to Nat king cole constantly. He quickly gre on me too. His duet with his daughter (after his death) will bring tears to your eyes .
Nat's vocal delivery - intonation, diction, clarity - was peerless... he was a Master of his craft.
Watch the version with his daughter Natalie. It’s beautiful!
One of the best vocalist of any era.
Knew you would like him. Try his song,Nature Boy
Nat King Cole was my dad's favorite singer. He was crazy good, unimaginably good. He hit every single note perfectly, perfect precision.
I liked to listen to the great music of my parent's generation and Nat King Cole was at the top of the list! My favorite song sang by him is "Stardust"
His song "When I Fall In Love" is one of the most beautiful recordings ever made. Play that song along with the Righteous Brothers and you and your girl won't be going anywhere outside of the house for at least 12 hours.
Nat "King" Cole is one of the most important artists in history, and certainly is one that every African American should know because of his historical significance. He was the first African American to host his own prime time network TV show, and he was one of the biggest music stars in America in the 1950s, right up there with Frank Sinatra, Tony Bennett, and others of that ilk. His daughter, Natalie Cole, also had a fine career as a singer, and if you want to watch and listen to something that will give you goosebumps, go find Natalie's live performance of "Unforgettable." She released it as a single in the 1980s, and the video, which shows her performing it live with her late father's image projected on the big screen behind her as the two of them sing a duet (his parts pre-recorded, obviously, since he was long since deceased) will bring tears to your eyes and joy to your heart. The first time I saw her sing it, they projected a hologram of her father Nat (this was right about the time they first developed holograms) and it was stunning.
Some of Nat's other songs you should consider are "L-O-V-E," "Autumn Leaves," and the song that always gets me, "Smile," which was written by silent film star Charlie Chaplin very early in the 20th century, and has been recorded by countless artists, including Michael Jackson. But Nat "King" Cole's version is, in my opinion, THE version of it.
He was and always will be a national treasure. His talent and class will be missed forever.
He could sing ANYTHING. He recorded a Spanish language album that was called “ Cole en Espanol.” It came out in the mid -50s while we were living in Venezuela. My dad loved it.
Nat "King" Cole was one of the all time class acts in American music. He had his own TV show in the 50's and he was known by most of the public as a crooner but in fact Nat was a terrific piano player who had his own trio (The Three Blazes) and started making great records in the 40's. You should react to "Mona Lisa" and "Nature Boy". better yet buy his greatest hits CD and you'll be doing it smart. And don't forget Ray Charles doing "Let's Go Get Stoned", "What'd I Say", "Eleanor Rigby", and "America" thank you , love your reactions to these great artists, Ray and Nat are pure gold.
This is one of the most beautiful songs! My dad’s favorite song by his very favorite singer. Thanks for your great reaction!
I loved this reaction! I'm a little jealous - trying to imagine what it's like to hear Nat King Cole for the first time! I've loved that amazing voice since I was a little girl. Other great songs of his include Mona Lisa, The Christmas Song, and Lazy Hazy Crazy Days of Summer. Enjoy!
Now that you’ve seen this, look for the duet of the same song with his grown daughter, Natalie Cole, singing this with images of her dead father Nat projected on stage as their two voices intertwine for a most mesmerizing performance that will absolutely bring tears to your eyes as you witness a daughter’s love for her father long after he’s left this earth.
One of my favorites pf his songs is L.O.V.E. He breaks down every letter in the word for a line of this song. "L is for the way you look at me."
It’s feeling a time from before, that feels so comfortable, a feeling that you didn’t know you were missing. 💕
I love love love your reaction. Just subscribed to your channel! I really love your personality. You are wonderful! Keep up the reactions!!!!
He was one of my mom's favorite singers. He was a contemporary of Frank Sinatra Dean Martin Sammy Davis jr. When ever I want to just relax and forget about the world I love to listen to the great crooners sing. This style of singing was very popular especially when the big bands were popular. I would love to see some reactions to the big band like Glenn Miller, Count Basie, Duke Ellington, and Benny Goodman. You can find them on RUclips there's quite a bit of video out there considering how long ago that was.
So beautiful, so lyrical. It was a big hit back in my youth.
I am 65 now and grew up on this fine wine, velvet voice.
What a singer.
There is also a video of him and his daughter Natalie singing this.
He took this arrangement and added her video to it. It was wonderful.
Natalie is now also deceased.
Pure liquid silk. Man, this guy had velvet pipes. Incredible voice and amazing man!
Oh my goodness! Thanks for reacting to this song! Nice job! I had forgotten how handsom and wonderfully smooth his voice was.
Great artist. Nat King Cole was one of the best. Try "When I fall in Love" any of his songs showcase his fantastic voice.
Thank you 😊❤️
Nat King Cole was a serious musician--had a jazz trio, wrote songs, just brilliant. Add to that the smoothest voice I have ever, ever heard.
I was around 12 when he died, I was heartbroken, even at that young age I appreciated him and his kind face.
One of the most elegant, chic and multi talented artists it has ever been my pleasure to have grown up with. Love, love, love this man....still!
Nat king Cole is a legend. His voice was so soothing. My mom loved Nat King Cole. Nat was a Jazz singer and Pianist. He also sang R&B and Ballads. He recorded over 100 songs that were hits. He also acted in films, television, and Broadway. He was the first African-American to host a T.V. show, in the United States. He's the father of singer songwriter, Natalie Cole. They have both passed on.
He was as close to perfect as anyone could get...unforgettable indeed. A class act who will forever be missed.
Nat King Cole had a voice of pure silk when he sang anything. Talk about just melting you away......
For a gorgeous song and incredible vocal, do Harry Nilsson Without You.
Oh my gosh. I second this. So hard.
He had a tv program that my mom watched in the fifties I believe. He sometimes played the piano and sang. Do Mona Lisa or hazy crazy days of summer. Mom absolutely loves him
I grew up listening to Nat King Cole for my grandmother great grandmother LOL and I absolutely loved his voice I would sit and listen to him for hours on a record player because that’s what they had and I always thought he was so elegant when I seen him on TV so self possess and absolutely charming by the way I love the duet that his daughter Natalie made
The late great Nat King Cole. He is the first to sing this great classic in 1951. If you don’t know who his daughter is it The great Natalie Cole. Bothe re gone but not forgotten. If you really want to shed a tear you got to listen to her when she was alive singing Unforgettable with a video of her dad in the background singing at the same time. What a tribute to her dad. Thx for playing real good music.
The Great Nat King Cole. A voice like liquid velvet !!!!
Yes He Was Great ! What A Voice
Nat King Cole sung songs in a genre called standard.
It's "vocal jazz" and many of his songs would be considered as jazz standards.
His voice was so dreamy. So good looking too, just romantic and beautiful performer.
One of the fantastic silky voices of the past. So lovely.
Nat could sing any song and make it sound like he wrote it and you've never heard it before. Beautiful.
One of the biggest legends ever!!
A Beautiful voice which stands the test of time.... Nat King Cole was fighting against Racism, with Beautiful Singing and his dignified response to those too scared to back him....
Grew up hearing this on repeat as my folks owned the vinyl LP and their media was mine. And his appearance was as smooth and handsome as his voice. When people talked about black people in those days, this is a man who always came to my mind as someone I genuinely admired and looked up to and wished I could become like. Quietly and gently, Nat King Cole won as many hearts as ever did Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. (another legend of the time).
HIs voice is pure velvet. So pure and smooth. Loved this man!!!!!
The definition of a perfect voice. Perfect. The absolute best.
The classiest singer singing the classiest songs ever!!! Try “ Nature Boy” pls...
My favorite Nat King Cole song is called “Next In Line.”
It’s an oldie because he had recorded it years before he performed it here on his NBC prime time TV show in the 1950s. It was common for singers of this era to record songs written by some of the greatest composers who ever lived.
Yes she did. His daughter, Natalie Cole's duet with her dad Nat King Cole "Unforgettable" was so beautiful and very touching. GMom 🌹
He is one of all time favorite singers. A side not is that he was a world class Jazz Pianist, as well as having a unique singing voice. I love his voice it's like velvet....so smooth. Unforgettable was written by Irving Gordon. Beautiful Lyrics, why I love these old songs, the lyrics are so beautiful and so romantic.
Nat King Cole and Natalie Cole's duet of the same song is absolutely gorgeous. They had to cut her father's version so she could sing parts to make it seem as though they sang it together as a duet. He died in 1965, but the duet version was released in 1991. It was such a moving rendition allowing father and daughter to sing together.
Another incredible voice was Johnny Hartman - check out "My One And Only Love", with saxophonist John Coltrane - the same smooth, velvet loveliness...
This is from Nat's TV show. He was the first black artist to have his own show, which was cancelled after 7 months, not because of ratings, but because sponsors refused to use their commercials for his show. That's what racism was and is. If Sinatra was the coolest guy in the room, Nat was that cool and calming uncle that would sit in your living room and sing just to you. Nat was the master of relaxation. Like Frank there's plenty of songs to listen to. Listen to Nat doing "Nature Boy', "More", "The Very Thought Of You", "Stardust", "Let's Fall In Love", "Autumn Leaves", "Ballerina", "When I Fall In Love", "Route 66", and my favorite "Mona Lisa". Nat was also one of the 10 greatest jazz pianists of all time.
Nat King Cole was an American musician who first came to prominence as a jazz pianist. He owes most of his popular musical fame to his soft baritone voice, which he used to perform in big band and jazz genres. In 1956, Cole became the first African American performer to host a variety television series, and for many white families, he was the first Black man welcomed into their living rooms each night. He has maintained worldwide popularity since his death in 1965. I was 6 years old when I watched his TV show. It never occurred to me that he was a black man. I just knew that I liked his music.
It’s great to see younger guys like yourself appreciating these great artists, Nat was one of the all time greats.
Like me, I think a lot of the young people of my day got introduced to the top singers of the previous generation by listening to compilation albums of Christmas songs. Because of the joy of the season, the older vocal stylings were more acceptable and accessible in their Christmas songs. We, of course, were exposed to these same artists on their TV shows or when they appeared on other singer’s TV shows. The 60s and Ed Sullivan brought in a whole new style of music, but that constant of having these mainstream artists of the 50s coming around every Christmas kept their voices close to our hearts. Nat King Cole was a Christmas giant.
Musicians all said while he was an exceptional singer he was an even better jazz pianist. I’m old enough to remember his TV show and loved it. He was such a welcoming and personable man.
I danced with my daughter at her wedding to the duet of this song between Nat And Natalie
Nat was known as a great jazz pianists before they discovered his voice.
I'm glad you're expanding your musical horizons. There is SO Much great music in the world. So many different genres to explore. Nat King Cole had one of the greatest voices of all time. A good human being also.
Legend grew up hearing this on the radio . Love those velvet tones.
Yes Sir you are so correct about this true artist. He was ground breaking as well as Johnny Mathis. Voices smooth and relaxing but powerful in their own way. This is the start of a beautiful journey for you. Thanks for this memory.
One of the best voices of all time. He was also a great piano player.
(March 17, 1919 - February 15, 1965), known professionally as ,
was an American singer and jazz pianist. He recorded over 100 songs that became hits on the pop charts.
His trio was the model for small jazz ensembles that followed. Cole also acted in films and on television
and performed on Broadway. He was the first African-American man to host an American television series.
He was the father of singer-songwriter Natalie Cole (1950-2015).
Nat King Cole is so smooth....he is the King of Christmas music!!! For me it's not Christmas time until I hear his Christmas songs lol❤
This song was written by Irving Gordon, who wrote songs for some of the most popular singers of the time (Perry Como, Patti Page). "Unforgettable" was his most popular one and, after Natalie Cole rerecorded if as a duet with her father, Gordon won a Grammy for it. Also, Nelson Riddle arranged this version. Nelson Riddle also arranged many of Frank Sinatra's biggest hits.
His voice and delivery; smooth as silk and cool as the other side of the pillow.
A true trailblazer. The first African-American to host his own prime time network TV show in the US. What an incredible talent.
One of the great voices.
Nat King Cole is also a great jazz pianist. He started as a pianist, not as a singer at all. He started singing because at one gig the singer for the band didn't show up. The club owner said, "No singer, no pay." The band knew that Cole could sing, since he'd sometimes sing along during rehearsal. In order to get paid he had to sing in the gig. And the rest is history.
If you want to listen to some wonderful instrumental jazz check out the Nat King Cole Trio.
FWIW, before The Beatles very few bands or singers wrote their own songs. They purchased songs from professional songwriters.
