Don’t GoNat “King” Cole

Songwriter: Al Stillman Guy Wood

Producer: Lee Gillette

Don't go, not when I'm just about to fall
And I'm feeling kind of all at sea
No no, don't go
Spend a little time with me

Don't go, not while my head is in a haze
And my heart's behaving crazily
No no, don't go
Stay a little time with me

Don't ever stray from my embrace
Not right away in any case
Not when I feel this sudden yen
To be kissed again

I know that maybe you don't share the urge
But within me it's an emergency
I need you so, don't go
Not unless you go with me

I need you so, don't go
Not unless you go with me

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.
