Synopsis

Album Description

A more poignant tribute to Nat could not be had, as Sammy recorded this 1965 record only months before his friend's passing. Nat's signature songs are here, with arrangements by Claus Ogerman and long-time Cole associate Billy May, while the liner notes include direct quotes from Sammy taken from a rare promotional album that was released only to radio stations to support the record's release. A legend salutes a legend! Includes 'Rambling Rose; Unforgettable; Straighten Up and Fly Right; Pretend; Ballerina; It's Only a Paper Moon; Smile; Walkin' My Baby Back Home; Route 66; For Sentimental Reasons; Send for Me; Sweet Lorraine; The Christmas Song', and 'Mona Lisa/Too Young/Nature Boy'. A 'Collectors' Choice Music' exclusive!

CD Reviews

The Nat King Cole Songbook - Sammy Davis Jr.

Lorraine | Scotland | 02/24/2006

(5 out of 5 stars)

"An excellent tribute to Nat King Cole from Sam, this collection is smooth and arguably one of the best interpretations of Cole's music ever. A must for Sammy fans, whose own inimitable style shines through from the start, you will be in no doubt that this is Sam singing from the very first notes - suberb musical arrangement as always makes it most memorable!"
