Nat “King” Cole

Love is for the warm and willing, waiting for the warm and willing
Love is ours to take or toss aside
Take this promise to your heart and let your lips repeat
"Kisses are too sweet to be denied"

Show me that you're warm and willing, make each golden moment thrilling
Give my empty arms a welcome sign
We can make the stars go spinning and the earth stand still
If you're warm and willing to be mine

Take this promise to your heart and let your lips repeat
"Kisses are too sweet to be denied"

Show me that you're warm and willing, make each golden moment thrilling
Give my empty arms a welcome sign
We can make the stars go spinning and the earth stand still
If you're warm and willing to be mine

It would be heavenly, if you're warm and willing to be mine

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.
