Unforgettable: Songs by Nat King Cole

Originally issued in the early 1950s, UNFORGETTABLE collects a number of Nat "King" Cole's initial pop hits, songs that found the renowned jazz pianist working in the crooner mode of Frank Sinatra and Bing Crosby. Though some criticized Cole's move away from his jazz roots, these tunes allowed the amiable performer to showcase his warm, expressive singing, effectively translating his nuanced piano style to vocals. In addition to the elegant and beloved title track, this compilation includes other string-laden signature Cole numbers, most notably the sweeping "Too Young" and the swooning "Mona Lisa," making it an ideal investment for those keen on his ascension to stardom.
