Nat “King” Cole

Songwriter: Kenward Elmslie Marvin Fisher

Love-wise, you're perfect
Touch-wise, you thrill me
Tender longings thrill me
Every time I take your hand
Face-wise, attractive
Smile-wise, appealing
This contented feeling
Can't be hard to understand

You're sheer delight
And much too nice to break up with
But should we fight
You'd be such fun to make up with

Dream-wise, so haunting
Heart-wise, so giving
Life is worth the living
'Cause you've made it plain to see
That love-wise, you're perfect for me

You're sheer delight
And much too nice to break up with
But should we fight
You'd be such fun to make up with
Dream-wise, so haunting
Heart-wise, so giving
Life is worth the living
'Cause you've made it plain to see
That love-wise, you're perfect for me

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.
