Performer: Nat King Cole
Distributor: EMI Music Distribution Notes: This best-of collects the distilled essence of the sophisticated crooner Nat "King" Cole, from his first U.S. number one hit, "I Love You For Sentimental Reasons," to signature songs like "Unforgettable" and later hits like "Ramblin' Rose." His versions of "Mona Lisa" and the pleading "Answer Me, My Love" are sheer romance, while the gently swinging "Ballerina" is pure sophistication.
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.
