I was raised with the wonderful songs of Nat "King" Cole, and I love his music still. I'm surprised you didn't mention his marvelous appearance in 1965's Cat Ballou! He and Stubby Kaye sing the narration to the story in the most delightfully inventive sequences ever filmed!

He was perfect for easy listening stations and if you read a old thread of mine, that is not an insult at all, good singer.

MusicMad: Re: My database tells me I have 168 of his recordings (incl. an album of the Trio) so, say, 150 or so vocals. Wow! I have a couple of his CDs and his greatest hits and Christmas album, plus the "Unforgettable" "duet" recording with Natalie, but NOTHING like that. Good for you!!!

Hi Ron, It may seem a large number ... ... but it's dwarfed by other song stylists, namely: Shirley Bassey - 190 Dean Martin - 244 Matt Monro - 290 Doris Day - 315 and, of course: Frank Sinatra - 1,282 though these do include soundtrack recordings, too. E&OE ... I'm constantly working on my database to remove inconsistencies, errors, etc. But, yes, I think Mr. Cole is in my top 5 easy-listening artists (I generally prefer his songs to those of Ms. Bassey) Mitch

It was during production of this film that Cole got ill (he was coughing up blood) and eventually found out that he had lung cancer.
