Nat “King” Cole

A house with love in it is rich indeed
Although there are a thousand things that house may need

The carpet may be old, the room so plain and bare
And yet it's beautiful somehow when love is living there

A house with love in it just seems to bloom
As though the month of may were filling every room

So darling true the years with all my heart I'll pray
A house with love in it is where we'll stay

So darling true the years with all my heart I'll pray
A house with love in it is where we'll stay

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.
