Cradle In BethlehemNat “King” Cole

Songwriter: Larry Stock Alfred Bryan

Producer: Lee Gillette

Sing sweet and low your lullaby
Till angels say, "amen."
A mother tonight is rocking a cradle in bethlehem
While wise men follow through the dark a star that beckons them
A mother tonight is rocking a cradle in bethlehem
"a little child shall lead them," the prophets said of old
In storm and tempest keep 'em until the bells is tolled
Sing sweet and low your lullaby
Till angels say, "amen."

A mother tonight is rocking a cradle in bethlehem
Choir
Sing sweet and low your lullaby

A mother tonight is rocking a cradle in bethlehem

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.
