Please listen to my confession: I do enjoy Nat King Cole songs. No, he wouldn't appear on any krazy-kool list of my favourites (Weather Report, Steely Dan, Giberto Gil, Toumani Djabate, Ry Cooder, Santana, Zizi Possi, Pink Floyd, U2 ...) but Nat is pure dark chocolate, Irish coffee and a Panatella cigar. Music and lyrics that I can taste, smell and sing-along.
No, its not kool to like music that Dad used to play on his radiogram at 78rpm, but who can resist Nat King Cole's audible chocolate and cigars. You can pass me the Jameson whiskey too, and while you're at it, put on some Barry Manilow.
