Unforgettable

To mark the untimely passing of Natalie Cole, here she is dueting with her father on "Unforgettable".

Autumn Leaves

Once again, it is the time of year to post this song. My favorite version of "Autumn Leaves" is by Eva Cassidy. I posted that version four years ago. Here is another incredible version of the song by Nat King Cole.

Steal Away

Mahalia Jackson performs "Steal Away" with a little help from Nat King Cole. This is from a TV performance shortly after the movie "St. Louis Blues" was released. (11/7/11 Post)

Christmas Times Past

A couple Christmas songs from times past. Two different performances of the first song, because there is no way I could choose just one of these.

Judy Garland & Mel Torme - "The Christmas Song"



Nat King Cole - "The Christmas Song"



Bing Crosby - "White Christmas"

Route 66

Nat King Cole performing "Route 66", to make the road's 85th anniversary.

St. Louis Blues

A couple clips from the 1958 film St Louis Blues, starring Nat King Cole, Eartha Kit, Pearl Bailey, Mahalia Jackson, Ruby Dee, Ella Fitzgerald and Cab Calloway. A biopic about W.C. Handy, if any film has an all star cast this one does.

I have been looking for this film on DVD for uears, but it is now streaming on Netflix.

"Chantez Les Bas" - Eartha Kit


"Beale Street Blues" - Ella Fitzgerald


"Morning Star" - Nat King Cole sings to Pearl Bailey
