Nat King Cole x There! I’ve Said It Again

“I love you, there’s nothing to hide
It’s better than burning inside
I love you, no use to pretend
There! I said it again.”

Wish I Were Somebody Else

Nat "King" Cole

I wish I were somebody else
The kind of guy you’d gander at
Somebody else who could pass your way
And make you say “Who’s that?”

My life story.

The monkey looked the buzzard right dead in the eye and said
Your story’s so touching but it sounds just like a lie

You Can Depend on Me

Nat King Cole Trio

Nat King Cole Trio - You Can Depend On Me

Although you say we’re through, I’ll always love you
And you can depend on me
Though someone you’ve met has made you forget
You know, you can count on me

I wish you success and loads of happiness
But I must confess I’ll be lonely
But if you ever need a friend, I’m yours till the end
And you can depend on me

I wish you success, loads of happiness
But I must confess I’ll be lonely
But if you ever need a friend, I’m yours till the end
And you can depend on me

And you can depend on me

Just gorgeous.

Straighten Up And Fly Right

Nat King Cole

Nat King Cole just has a wonderful voice.  Straighten Up and Fly Right was his first vocal hit, performed by his trio, which included himself playing piano, Oscar Moore on guitar, and Wesley Prince on bass.  It is one of his earliest compositions, written with the help of Irving Mills, a jazz music publisher who discovered a number of famous jazz songwriters.  The lyrics come from an African folk tale which Cole’s father, a pastor, would use in his sermons.

Sarah’s Endless List of Favorite Songs

‘Cause the ceiling fell in and the bottom fell out
I went into a spin and I started to shout
“I’ve been hit, this is it! This is I-T it!”
