Unforgettable was a UK only tribute release to the legendary and 'unforgettable' vocalist who died in February 1965. It is an excellent introduction to many of Nat King Cole's greatest recordings. (UK:11)
"This disc is a thorough survey of his timeless genius - all recorded on the Capitol label. It captures his sumptuous and soothing tenor voice crooning on the pop tunes he made famous, like the ethereal Nature Boy, the melancholy Mona Lisa and the bouncy Straighten Up & Fly Right."
"This is a excellent mix of well known Nat King Cole hits and very easy to listen to. Songs that show the true talent of this great singer."
"It's been around forty years since the passing of the legendary Nat King Cole. Even to this day his music lives on through his many fans, some new and some old. Mr Cole was a extraordinary singer, piano player and a musical genius who had a natural feel for music. And to this day his influence and style is still having it's effect on the music world."
"Check out the unforgettable Unforgettable one of Cole's best songs with it's wonderful lyrics. The way he sings Mona Lisa really touches the heart. The velvet voice of Cole is at it's best on Nature Boy with its philosophical overtures."
"Known for his honeyed voice, Nat King Cole deserves every accolade attributed to him. This a refreshing retrospective look at a man and his music that should not be missed."
"Nat is among the very greatest pop performers of all time. As a jazz pianist, he was the top. His later vocal career is surpassed in consistent quality by no one. In fact, only Sinatra recorded such consistently great material during the 1950s and early 1960s. Performers like Nat come along maybe once in a generation, and his recordings are as timeless as anyone's, and can be appreciated by all ages."
