Takes me back to my childhood and our old 33rpm record player. I love singers with those old fashioned clear as bell voices.... none of that new fangled equipment to distort it.
My adolescent, teen, and young adult years were filled with his music. I have his whole collection. King of smooth, he composed the song, "Straighten Up and Fly Right," was born the same year as my mother but died of lung cancer in the 60's. I remember him doing advertisements for KOOL cigerettes. I don't have his Xmas album & would love to have it!

This is quintessentially Christmas and I never tire of it. Thanks.
I LOVE THIS SONG!!! GOOD CHOICE!!
I love Nat King Cole. Do you have Natalie's Christmas album too. Another favorite of mine.

I'd never seen video of him, but grew up listening. So earnest and sparkling with smiles. What a dude.
Ahhhh...
Oh he was smooth. Love it. Instant Christmas.
