      Try to listen to Mr. Coles first recording of a “Christmas Song”. If I remember he recorded three versions. The first was recorded in 1945 with his trio and a “String Choir”.

      NAT "KING" COLE recorded THE CHRISTMAS SONG (MERRY CHRISTMAS TO YOU!) twice in 1946 with The King Cole Trio; with the music of Nelson Riddle in 1953; with Ralph Carmichael's music in 1961.

    My Uncle drove Nat from the airport to the Fountainbleu Hotel in Miami in 1954. Uncle Jack was thrilled to do so, and brought a Marine buddy with him. Both were on active duty, and were doing their First Sergeant a favor. They were also White.
    When they got to the hotel, they were informed by the Concierge that "No Ni22ers" were allowed to enter by the front door. Jack and his friend were ready to whip the Concierge's butt, but Nat intervened. He said, "I don't need the trouble, cool it!

    Imagine sitting in a small intimate night club watching and listening to Nat or Ella or any number of entertainers. They were so much more accessible to the public back then. None of the major stars of today would even consider doing that now. Instead your packed into huge auditoriums with thousands of others and the only way to get a good look at them is to bring binoculars or just sit and watch the huge screens on either side of the stage.

    Nat is one of my favorites. Even as a child I bought his 45's. I hated when he got cancer in his 40's. But he put out a lot just the same. There was "Ramblin Rose " and "Angel Smile " and "My True Carie Love " and "Those Lazy, Hazy, Crazy Days of Summer " and "Cat Ballou " and so many classics. Great to have realized he was that good so soon in my life. That made the journey easier.

So when my mom asked what I wanted for a graduation present, I said, "I'd like your Nat King Cole albums". It was a six album set. (From the "Longines Symphonette Society") 48 years later I still have them and they still sound MINT!

    Sad how quickly comments degenerate to slurs. NKC was one of the great Voices, period, as well as an accomplished jazz pianist early on. Don't insult the multicolored world by qualifying as "Best Black" etc. His television show was very popular in the early 1950's, an extraordinary accomplishment before the Civil Rights movement had grown stronger. Our nation should have purged the racist elements forever, but they keep coming back like malignancies.

      @Rusty Shackleford You just slandered my mother and father, both of whom were Democrats and typical 1950s liberals in that they opposed racial segregation. Neither of them had a racist bone in their body. Yes, many white Democrats in the South (and elsewhere to some extent) were racists back then. That’s why those Democrats eventually became Republicans starting in the ‘60s. A Democratic president, Lyndon Johnson, alienated them by pushing through federal legislation granting rights to black people racists wanted to keep denying them. He said at the time he knew it would cost his party white Southern support, but he did it anyway. That was a big turning point.
