"This album brings back warm fuzzy memories for me. In 1969 my Father bought a brand new Ford station wagon and equipped it with a "state of the art" 8-track tape player with (wow) 4 speakers! The family, five kids and our parents took a 4000 mile round trip from the Adirondack mountains of New York State to Florida and back. This recording in all of its 8-track glory was one of five tapes that ran for most of the 200 hours we spent in the car. With everyone asleep in the middle of the night and my Father driving along the interstate, a six year old Me came crawling into the front seat. With NKC's velvet voice gently flowing from the speakers and Dad's arm around me, I watched the world going safely by. To this day when I play this music I can still smell that new car and feel that long since gone arm on my shoulder. Nat "King" Cole had the kind of voice and talent which stands alone regardless of the style of music he performed. If I had to live out my days with only a limited selection of music, this album would be on the short list."

Listening pleasure
