Nat “King” Cole

It was just one of those things, just one of those crazy flings
One of those bells that now and then rings, just one of those things
It was just one of those nights, just one of those fabulous flights
A trip to the moon on gossamer wings, just one of those things
If we'd thought of it, 'bout the end of it, when we started painting the town
We'd have been aware that our love affair was too hot not to cool down
So goodbye, dear, and Amen, here's hoping we'll meet now and then
It was great fun but it was just one of those things

Just one of those bells that now and then rings, just one of those things
A trip to the moon on gossamer wings, just one of those things
If we'd thought of it 'bout the end of it, when we started painting that town.,
We'd have been aware that our love affair was too hot not to cool down
So goodbye, dear, and Amen, here's hoping we'll meet now and then
It was great fun but it was jus tone of those things

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.
