Nat “King” Cole

All over the world
All over the world

Love is the thing
It's the one thing, you'll see
All that it takes
Is a he and a she

All over the world
All over the world

Love was and love is
And always will be
All over the world

(Whether you're in
Maine or California
Doesn't matter, I know
You can be in Tennessee or
You can be in old Mexico)

(It can happen
Summer, spring or fall or
When the winter winds blow
Love is a wonderful thing)

Lovers can be found
In foggy London town
In Rome or Peru

Even in Damascus
Lovers never ask us
What they should do

You don't have to park
In Paris after dark
To know that it's true
Love is a wonderful thing

All over the world
All over the world

Love was and love is
And always will be
All over the world
All over the world

Nathaniel Adams Coles (17 March 1919 – 15 February 1965) was born in Montgomery, Alabama and used the stage name Nat “King” Cole throughout his career as a jazz pianist and later as a singer.

Cole’s first mainstream hit was “Straighten Up and Fly Right” in 1943. Bo Diddley, who performed similar folk-based material said that song was a big influence on him.

In the late 40s, Cole began recording more pop-oriented material. His stature as a pop singer was cemented by hits like “Route 66”, “Mona Lisa” and “Unforgettable”. In the 50s, virtually every home had a copy of his Christmas album.
