"the man's voice was like ice cream on a cone it was so smooth and his piano playing and his group were good as well.he had so much emotion&passion in his presentation that it leaves the mind&body almost numb from it's delievery.in a fair world he would have gotten alot more love.his skin was his sin but despite the problems of society he was a musical rebel whose work is still among the bench-mark of what true greatness is."

The Nat King Cole Primer

"Perhaps Decca recording artist and Nat Cole devotee, Earl Grant, said it best in his tailored lyrics to the tune of "Gotta Be This Or That", it's gotta be "Ella, Frankie, or Nat"...that about sums it up! I won't waste your time with an argument about who was the greatest male popular vocalist of the 20th Century, Sinatra or Cole, but if you asked Frank, he would have humbly told you, "I listen to Nat", and he did. Here is the "King" in all his glory, but let's face it, these recordings are just the tip of a very big iceberg...there are many, many more to listen to. Nat King Cole made even the ordinary of tunes very special and all his. You can sense the soul of this man through his voice. He was truly "unforgettable". Now c'mon Capitol and release Nat's version of "That's You"...my 45 rpm is showing a little wear!"

"This CD is all I've been listening to since I bought it four days ago. No one can sing the way this man sang. His style and voice are unique. Get this CD and find out what real music is. I don't know why I waited so long to add Nat King Cole to my CD collection. If you don't have any Nat King Cole in your collection, this is the place to start."
