Nat “King” Cole

Songwriter: Nat King Cole Charlotte Hawkins

To whom it may concern
You've found another love, I know
To whom it may concern
My heart won't ever let you go

You tore my heart apart
When you found somebody new
But you found out that your heart
Could be broken, too

So to whom it may concern
You've learned that heartache has no pride
Pretending unconcerned won't stop the tears
You try to hide

And when you're all alone
With just a memory
That's when I'll bet you'll learn
The one who's most concerned is me

~Interlude~

And when you're all alone
With just a memory
That's when I'll bet you'll learn
The one who's most concerned
...is 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.
