More than A Touch of Class

David Mon | San Francisco, CA United States | 03/08/2001

(4 out of 5 stars)

"I had heard a lot about Nat King Cole and finally took the plunge with this offering. There was so much that was familiar here, old standards that other generations listened to in the 40's, 50's, and 60's, that I heard when I was 'coming of age' almost forty years ago like "When I Fall In Love", "Ramblin Rose","Too Young", and "On the Street Where You Live". They remind one of a younger, more innocent time, and there is a sweetness about them. I can't say enough about this man's voice-it's awesome. The phrasing is so relaxed and beautiful, the lyrics simple and somewhat cliched, but that's ok, and again, there is such a sweet quality to it all, and very romantic. My complaint is the background music, a big band sound with poor sound quality that get's in the way. One longs for more of the songs and the voice without the interference. A good introduction to Nat King Cole, and I will definitely try others."

Anacyclosis

"Not a bad album,but it's still one more with an anacyclosis mark on it.What I mean is that there are so many hit songs by Nat King Cole that have not been available on CD and all we get again and again are the same songs.As a great Cole fan I wonder why Capitol is not releasing the equivalent to the Frank Sinatra set of all his hit songs and the B sides as well?Doesn't he deserve it?"
