Advancing technology in the late 1970s facilitated an increase in playing time for LPs. This, coupled with a TV advertising campaign and an excellent choice of songs, propelled easy listening singer Nat King Cole to the top of the UK album charts with this collection, more than a decade after his death. (UK:1)
“After hearing this album, I can see why he is mentioned along with Martin and Sinatra, as one of the greats. His voice is as smooth as silk, the tunes are catchy, I loved Nature Boy, and many others off of this album.”
“All I can say is that this is some of the most beautiful music you could ever hope to own. Of all the oldies Nat King Cole has the most amazing voice and way of singing.”
“The more familiar ballads are all here. Some examples of his early, jazzier style, are also included. For me, Nat's crooning style verges on the bland, but there's no denying that the voice is seductive and the arrangements very stylish. Highly recommended for anyone just wanting to dip their toe into the great man's huge recorded output.”
“The words, the music, the songs are just enchanting and the velvet tone of Nat King Cole is itself a joy to listen too.”
“The combination of his crooning, but gravelled voice is unique. These two qualities of his voice intertwine well and are impossible to be copied.”
“The easiest of easy listening, with quality vocals and orchestration. Good old-fashioned music. Just buy it and listen to it for instant relaxation.” “A superb collection of the songs from a true singer. Over the years I have turned to this genre of music. Nat had a voice that still reigns supreme, what a talent he was. It is difficult to pick out the best song on this collection, as there are so many lovely songs here.”
