The blues don't care, who's got 'em
The blues don't care, who cries
And the nights don't care who's lonely
Or whose tears are in whose eyes

When someones heart is broken
The blues are not to blame
'Cause the blues don't care who's got 'em
So they just added my name

And the nights don't care who's lonely
Or whose tears are in whose eyes

When someones heart is broken
The blues are not to blame
'Cause the blues don't care who's got 'em
So they just added my name

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.
