Platinum [Capitol] [PA] [Digipak]

Performer: Nat King Cole
Distributor: EMI Music Distribution

Notes: Although a single-CD collection of Nat King Cole can never do him justice because there are too many songs to cover, this package does include great takes of "Lush Life" and classics such as "Too Young to Go Steady" and "Smile," along with the obscure "Mother Nature and Father Time" and a version of the corny "People." ~ Michael G. Nastos A single-CD collection of Nat King Cole never does him justice, as there are too many songs to cover. This package is not very hit-oriented, does not feature his brilliant piano playing, and is laden with string arrangements. There is a version of the corny "People," but also great takes of "Lush Life," classics such as "Too Young to Go Steady" and "Smile," and the obscure "Mother Nature and Father Time." Search for a better "best-of" that is more platinum than tin. ~ Michael G. Nastos

One of the seminal performers in 20th-century American music, Nat "King" Cole was a major figure in the development of jazz piano, the stylistic link between early jazz and pop of the sophisticated urban variety that emerged in the '30s, and finally one of the greatest pop singers of his day. Cole was a hugely talented, intensely musical singer, blessed with almost flawless good taste, who became an international superstar capable of appealing to audiences across all boundaries.
