We've all heard the song hundreds of times. Doesn't change the fact that he has one of the best voices in pop music history. Also I believe he was the first black person to have his own network TV show.
Ive heard this song before. But this is actually the first time that ive taken the opportunity to actually pay attention to the lyrics, vocal tones and style of singing and really listen to it.
It’s a very calming tune. My mom played this song every Christmas.
We had his album when I was a kid. My mom would play it every Christmas.
Nat King Cole was the definition of smooth. The man’s voice was just one of a kind. The annunciation, the orchestration, the feeing is almost non-existent today. Highly recommend his song Unforgettable, it is……unforgettable. 💐👌
There are very few songs I will ONLY listen to the original of and this is one. No one touches Nat.
No one.
His voice is like silk and timeless.
He was the original Lady, agreed !!!
Joy and the Christmas spirit is what his rendition of the song gives you like a gift on Christmas morning.
You just have to love Nat King Cole. He's simply the best .
E V E R ! ! none other !!!
No one smoother ,more charming than Nat King Cole . His voice I’d velvet and the twinkle in his eyes. He was on tv when I w as a child and he still takes my breath away
He was a brilliant singer I grew up with his music and I am 75 years old 🙏👍👣
Nat King Cole had a voice that can never and will never be duplicated.
For me, there are many great Christmas songs, none better than this one. Always puts a smile on my face and a warm feeling inside.
You couldn't stop smiling, that's listening to Nat!
Effortless singing ... a beautiful man , beautiful smile , beautiful voice , beautiful song . What more could you ask for ? Thanks !
"Unforgettable," I'd recomend the duet with his daughter, Natalie. She was a child when he died, but she sang the song as an adult but blended with her father's performance
I was born in 1961, and this song brings back memories of my earliest Christmases.
I love this. I listen to classic Christmas Songs every year sitting by a warm fire and putting a Christmas Puzzle together. ☺️
I could see at the 3-4 minute mark that You were affected by a memory. Beautiful. Nat does that.
He was one of the greats singers of all time
Always the first song on the Christmas Day playlist at our house. Nat King Cole was one of the great vocalists of our time. Nina Simone is an excellent person to equate him to - both had their own dignified and beautiful style of singing.
You should react to Mel Torme's version...he wrote it. But I LOVE, LOVE. LOVE Nat King Cole. Your smile is exactly how I feel when I hear him sing.
I hope you WILL react to more of Cole's music. PLEASE, though, be sure to include some of his piano as well as his singing. He was one of the best of the best in jazz piano. He had a unique style which kind of matches his vocal style: simple, clean, every note distinct from the others, fluid, relaxed -- just stellar!
The song was written in 1944. One of the cowriters was the great singer Mel Torme who was nicknamed The Velvet Fog. The King Cole Trio recorded it in 1946 and then rerecorded it with better orchestration etc. Some of my faves of NKC are Mona Lisa and Lazy days of Summer. His daughter was Natalie Cole who had a brilliant career as a singer as well.
My mans. My Mans.
MY MANS !
I see you tearing up.
IT’S GONNA HAPPEN !
LET IT HAPPEN !
That song, His Voice…
Yeahhhhh !
It’s gonna happen to ANYBODY that appreciates
GREAT MUSIC !
And even GREATER voice. 🎤 🎶
Man this is the sound of Christmas. Dad always played the cassette in the mighty van all Christmas. this is the sound track to my christmas memories.
One of the greatest voices ever. T, try People by him.
Very true about that era of singers and vocalists ... that style no longer a prominent popular modern art-form as it was back then. Truly classic & special.
Nats famous recording just celebrated its 70th year Anniversary this past. December.
I shared a post about that on social media just last month. That's 70 years of Nat King Cole's voice making countless millions of people's holidays extra special.
Nice reaction.
This song is in my childhood memories and I will never forget it!
One of my fav Christmas songs
I remember this. I was 5 when it came out. Nat King Cole was one of the three albums my mother owned.
Growing up, my family had several LP records that we played over the Christmas season. Nat King Cole, Johnny Mathis, The Ames Brothers, Bing Crosby, and a pair of very old records in German.
You need to listen to the “collaboration “ of Nat King Cole and his daughter Natalie singing Unforgettable. Natalie put it together after her father’s death. So incredibly touching.
In my much earlier days, my dad would load up his 'record changer' on Sundays for dinner. Thanksgiving would start Christmas albums!
Early April and I have this song on repeat😅😅..It changed my mood from irritated and anxious to joyous, warm and calm
Nat was am amazing singer and pianist. He was also the first black entertainer to host his own show
It's so nice to see younger people like you being aware of some of the beautiful classic music that was out before you were born. Just wonderful to hear a beautifully sung melody, with no artifice, hystrionics, shooting flames, dance moves, and whatever else you can think of. Did you know Nat King Cole sang, but he actually was a pianist. Beautiful music you don't find much of today. (Give credit to Mel Torme who actually wrote the song.) Thanks much! :)
Yes, he was the pianist in a combo, when one evening the vocalist failed to show, and it became incumbent on another member to do the vocals. Of course, it was then Nat who took on that duty, but never having considered himself as a singer, believe it or not. Thank goodness that original singer failed to show that evening. The rest is music history.
@@dougoverhoff7568 Fun stuff! Thanks! :)
@@christopheryochum3602 Yep, hard to believe that Nat didn't think of himself as a singer. Yet, he had one of the smoothest, best, most effortless natural singing voices ever. He's always been one of my favorites. What a voice!
@@dougoverhoff7568 And he sang the song. He didn't embellish the melody to call attention to himself, which seems to be the case in today's talent-competition age. Good musician, smooth singer (as you said), and a gentleman. There is only one person I know of on a recent competition show who adhered to this "sing the song" philosophy; but many of the people from when I was a kid did just sing the song. This is why it's nice when these kids today listen and appreciate people who were big acts before these kids were born. Very refreshing conversation! Thanks!
@@christopheryochum3602 It's what I call "raw talent", and Nat had it in spades. I was just listening to some Karen Carpenter, whose voice and talent I feel is up in the same 'ionosphere' with Nat's. They had more talent in their little fingers than some of these so-called "stars" of today. Timeless!
Peace!
Nat Cole was a pioneer, a break-through artist.
Do yourself a great big favor and open up the door to his music ,if you don't you are missing out on a musical treat. He is the father of Natalie Cole. Be sure to check their duets. For he is definitely not lost in musical history.
What a great singer, and even more, he was a wonderful man. My parents used to have all of his records in the 50s and 60s, and that's how I know him. I'm a Rock and Roll guy, but this man's voice is so unique, and smooth. He died of lung cancer around the late 60s or early 1970s. His daughter is Natalie Cole (named after daddy) and she won a couple of Grammy Awards in the 1980s. She must have gotten her dad's singing genes.
Your smile is so awesome and much needed ❤
I loved this reaction perfect timing for me bc the holiday was fast and furious so I enjoyed this reaction your smile made me smile 😃 lit up the room great song much ❤
My #1 Christmas Song!!
May I suggest Nat and his daughter Natalie using special effects, sing Unforgettable.
I don’t know if you check comments from your older reactions, but if you do I second the recommendation that you check out some of his jazz piano performances. A couple of the most well known are Route 66, and Straighten Up and Fly Right. Just to get you started!
Pure class...
He died too soon. You are probably familiar with his daughter Natalie Cole.
I was 3 when this was recorded but its one of the songs you look forward to hearing every Christmas season. It will never grow old.
To so many of the comments below, I am an 80 yr. old man, I will tell you Nat King Cole is absolutely the greatest singer in my lifetime, but more important he was a better man, love you all, ENJOY!!!
according to mel torme, the song was written in july during a very hot summer while trying to 'stay cool by thinking cool'. torme saw a pad on his bob wells' piano with the lines 'chestnuts roasting, jack frost nipping, yuletide carols, folks dressed up like eskimos.' wells said maybe if he could think about cold things he could cool off. (remember, guys, this was a time when having a.c. was almost unheard of.) anyway, torme thought it had the makings of a great christmas song, so he encouraged wells to finish it, torme himself contributed a few lyrics, torme wrote the tune, and the most recorded and played christmas song ever (according to some statistics) was born. torme himself even recorded it, but even though he had a hand in its inception, i think absolutely nothing ever can compare to this nat king cole version.
This is THE Christmas song! 🎄 💯😉😁
T, I think one of the reasons why I’ve become so engrossed with reaction videos is because I get to watch people, especially younger generations, discover music that I’ve taken for granted. Nat “King” Cole is a classic and a legend. I am a lover of music. I’ve been taught to appreciate all types of music. In high school, my choral teacher taught us to appreciate the different genres of music. We sang commercial jingles, Negro spirituals and a little bit of everything in between. It certainly was one of the best times in my life. I loved your reaction to this video. I told Tasha that I’m gonna sit in on some of your heavy-metal stuff and see if I can grasp it!

Nat King Cole had the most beautiful voice.Trivea fact...He out sold Sinatra
Nat Cole was Thee KING.
I can’t believe you don’t know Nat the greatest of all times a true legion 👌👌
It's not about music today, it's about notoriety.
No substance in today's music.
Great review.
I saw the emotion in your face and it was undeniable that you actually finally really listened.
Nat King Cole is the benchmark.
This IS the Christmas song.
stormie leigh
santa claus back in town
Originally he only wanted to play the piano..and not sing until he was convinced otherwise.. thank god
if you like Nat King Cole then checkout his daughter Natalie Cole
Those people who are 93 and older are out of luck, his simple phrase message is not for them I guess. ; )
