I was a latecomer to the Nat King Cole fold. I was torn between classical and rock music while growing up and would take on pop and the standards only occasionally. So although the songs Pretend, Smile and Too Young are among my earliest music memories because my mother often listened to them, it was only much, much later that I learned to really appreciate what a great song artist Nat King Cole was.
