Magnificent ObsessionNat “King” Cole

(Frankie Laine, Fred Karger)

You're my magnificent obsession
The greatest wonder on this earth
The Taj Mahal and other spendors
To me really have no worth

You're my magificent possession
A treasure lent me from above
As long as I have breath within me
You'll be my one and only love

(Interlude)

You're my magificent possession
A treasure lent me from above
As long as I have breath within me
You'll be my one and only 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.
