A Beautiful FriendshipNat “King” Cole

Songwriter: Donald Kahn Stanley Styne

Producer: Lee Gillette

(D. Kahn, S. Styme)

This is the end of a beautiful friendship
It ended a moment ago
This is the end of a beautiful friendship
I know
'Cause your eyes told me so

We've always been
Like sister and brother
Until tonight
When we looked at each other

That was the end of a beautiful friendship
And just the beginning of love

~interlude~

That was the end of a beautiful friendship
And just the beginning of love!

Nat “King” Cole

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.
