ParadiseNat “King” Cole

Songwriter: Gordon Clifford Nacio Herb Brown

Producer: Lee Gillette

And then she hold my hand-
Mm-mm-mm-mm-mm-mm-mm-mm
And then I understand-
Mm-mm-mm-mm-mm-mm-mm-mm
Her eyes afire
With one desire
Then a heavenly kiss:
Could I resist?

*And then I dim the light-
Mm-mm-mm-mm-mm-mm-mm-mm
And then I hold her tight-
Mm-mm-mm-mm-mm-mm-mm-mm
Her kiss, each fond caress
They lead the way to happiness
She takes me to paradise

(Instrumental interlude and pick up at *.)

And when I dim the light
Mm-mm-mm-mm, she's willing
And when I hold her tight
Mm-mm-mm-mm, it's thrilling
Her kiss, each fond caress
They lead the way to happiness
She takes me to paradise

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.
