My brother got me a 78 of this off ebay. He wouldn't say how much it was, but I cherish it; almost as much as the memory of a balmy summer evening concert by Nat and getting to meet him afterward. (Long ago, celebrities did that sort of thing,,,,,gentlemen and ladies).
Great song by a great singer. It kept playing in my head, don't know why but I just had to hear it. Must be one of those spirits hangin' around me that wanted to hear it too...LOL
This...being REAL MUSIC will always be the choice of Retirees at their Retirement village meets until the end of time. I visit many...and not a soul ever wants hear RappKrapp.
@hattonhall i love how your trying to make a valid point to show your superiority in taste etc etc ..yet'you statement is over ridden with ignorance and hypocracy...of course people wouldnt want to hear rap .the generations now.it wasnt theres and to jumble a whole genre together is just plain ignorant.theres tons of garbage rap;but there plenty of amazing hip hop and before u spit the cliche that its all degrading women and blin bling..i despise commercial rap.open your mind to all music. peace
I did not say it was "Better" only that it was genuinely MUSIC and SINGING. Rap is not and is MOSTLY spoken and often profane. The older generation regularly tell me that disgusts them about Rap.
The term "RapKrapp" is not of my making. I heard it from a group of retirees while discussing modern day music in general.
Don't make the big mistake of ASSUMING that you know how others come to choose their positions on anything.
Suggest u read all the posts proving that the REAL MUSIC AND REAL SINGING of Nat King Cole brought them to tears,touched their hearts and very depths of their souls over a lifetime.
It will only be when you can humble yourself to think at that level that you will understand the position of others on that.
"That Hip Hop Rap song full of profanity brought me to tears and touched my very heart and soul" ?
Don't forget he was also one of the greatest Jazz pianists of the 20th century. Buy his trio albums to appreciate the full range of his talents. A genius musician who was also blessed with one of the most beautiful voices I've ever heard.
Attended George Benson's concert at the Kennedy Center honoring Nat King Cole last night. Now I know who influenced his singing. One of the best parts of the show was the tape playing of Benson singing this song at seven years old.
Please come see what I found in the Mona Lisa- I found Leonardo Da Vinci Himself! and anyone else can do this to. All I did was make it black and white and then turned the picture into a negative and turned it upside down and there He was! They both are looking at EACH-OTHER! Try it and see if I'm lieing! Come see what I found!
Beatles critic says: Beatles and their successors drove this kind of music to extinction, Thanks to payola and boppers. And nobody writes poetry anymore, or poetry in songs. OH WELL, when you are HIGH you don't appreciate the good stuff anyhow.
Used to sing this song while driving my dad to family get togethers. He would tell me to shut up, then we'd laugh and do a duet. Memorable post. Thanks.
Goes to show that good articulation and vocabulary can overcome even racial barriers, even 40 years ago. Maybe "the hood" aint down with it but this is one of the greatest artists of all time.
Such a waste of those who keep trying to see a difference between all the people.
We aRE singing this in the barbershop chorus and I love it. I never knew who sang it until I saw the title. I really like this. I like the way Cole was. The way he moves the music and how powerful his lyrics are
in 1975, young and risk-taker that i was ... i took a picture of the mona lisa on display at the national museum madrid, spain. i waited until all the guests left the room (less than a dozen of them), then i took the shot ... no flash, just natural lighting ... no taking of pictures was allowed, but i was able to do it. how cool was that. i still have the picture until today.
the6 people that dislike this are artists that didnt get a song made for their paintings. its an amazing song. an amazing singer. but they are just jealous..
I took a painting of the Mona Lisa, then turned it black and white and then made it into a negative. After I did that and then turned it upside down. Guess what I found next to her face? Leonardo Da Vinci Himself. Take a look at my videos and see it for yourself.
Life is like a mona lisa smile so vibrant yet a mixture of misry mixed with moments of escatsy slowly moving towards death hoping for ever on etenal life
Nat did not want to do this song, but his wife convinced him that it was something special and so he recorded it. Ever since that day the song and the special artist
who sang it have become a one of a kind jewel in the world of music.

@wayla711MJ829 It still is. The only problem, is that revered music nowadays isn't. Music has, and will always be sentimental and pertinent to us; we just have to know where to look. Fortunately, this music has been revered over time, but even society's esteem of this song specifically doesn't compare to one of Pitbull's views.
My name is Mona...Nat was my Moms fav...she wanted my middle name to be Lisa...my dad put his foot down said no so middle is Elizabeth..pretty close...I hate being called Mona lisa...but love Nat and this song....pure enjoyment in his voice...no
So beautiful...I was born in 1990, but my father was born in this era of music. He has a huge room in my household with literally 1000s of records and he would play various older music on the weekends. I don't understand why my generation doesn't appreciate music like this...it's just so angelic.
@NeedleOnTheLue One word....media hype about nothing music....pop culture..you don't have to have real talent..just do something outrageous...and your a shoe-in
I was named Mona for this song was my Moms favorite singer...pure perfection in his voice...although my father stopped at giving me the middle name of Lisa...chose Elizabeth instead...but this song will allways remain dear to my heart because of my Mom
My father used to sing this song, in the younger days. When he went into a coma I played the tape of this song and he would actually open his eyes for a few seconds. When he came out of his coma I asked him if he remembered hearing this song. He said he didn't remember this song, but he remembered that something woke him up and he wanted to find out what it was. He has since passed, and everytime I listen to this I have such fond memories of my father.
Music itself is timeless. The only effect of age has is the amount of exposure you have to different genres. I pity people who only listen to one style of music. There's so much out there that you're only hurting yourself by not exploring. I went to school with a lot of people that strictly followed the trends, but I never understood that. How can you hear a voice like Nat King Cole and not be affected?
@scoppio07 I didn't really mean it maliciously. I had just been browsing a lot of videos from the 20's-50's and noticed a trend of people saying "I am x age and enjoy x artist." it just seems odd that people feel that need to identify themselves as "that young person who likes old music."
@gandletron Its interesting you say that, when you go into a lot of these peoples profile they lie. There are some people who say I'm only 15 and I listen to (fill in the blank) when you click on there profile it says there 30 years old, lol.
Nat King Cole, what a beautiful voice, he would have been a great narrator =D
It would be nice if everyone stopped advertising how young they are and how much they love nat king cole, billie holiday, louis armstrong, etc. You can leave out the whole "I'm only 15" part, and instead just say, "I sure do love Nat King Cole"
@DWOY Respond to this video... I am, and I understand because I'm part of that generation. All I meant is that it's odd that people identify themselves as "that young person who listens to old music." Why even think about that and instead just enjoy the music?
im 18 and im in love with Nat king cole and his daughter. his voice is so beautiful. And on the colabo for when i fall in love she sounds like a female version of him.... they just touch my heart. Todays music doesn't compare
60 years old and still going strong; this song will FOREVER stand the test of time. In 40 years, when this song turns 100, it'll still bring tears to peoples' eyes
I am 53 and my dad used to sit me on his knee and sing this song to me.....I also remember my mom playing her 78 records and Nat King cole would be singing so velvety and we would dance....they are both gone and I miss them but have many many fond memories.
My mother listened tro Nat "King" Cole as long as I can remember..until the day she died...Every Sunday like clockwork I'd stop by my mother's home and we'd have coffee and Nat would be on her cassette player..She's gone now but those memories linger on. I still love listening to him..
When I was a little boy, I used to hear my father singing this song. I could be 4 or 5 yrs old, when he talked to me about Nat King Cole. He mentioned Araneta Coliseum where he watched the "King" performed.
Now my father is old, recently I bought him a set of hearing aid and CDs of Mr Cole, Frank Sinatra and Bing Crosby. We are thousands of miles apart, but I want to have my father feel that I love him and I cherish the moments when he shared his music with me.
Im pretty young, I listen mostly to current music but I would say that is the purest voice I have ever come across. Cole's voice all the way through that song is simply breath taking. Wow.
you mean that time when it was on display in the us, and that mobster stole it, replaced it with a copy,and that now the mona lisa is in on a mantlein a fancy mansion in queens owned by an "olive oil importer"?

@DWOY Respond to this video... I am, and I understand because I'm part of that generation. All I meant is that it's odd that people identify themselves as "that young person who listens to old music." Why even think about that and instead just enjoy the music?

You don't hear songs like this anymore. I could listen to this over and over again; this, and Ramblin Rose.

60 years old and still going strong; this song will FOREVER stand the test of time. In 40 years, when this song turns 100, it'll still bring tears to peoples' eyes

I am 53 and my dad used to sit me on his knee and sing this song to me.....I also remember my mom playing her 78 records and Nat King cole would be singing so velvety and we would dance....they are both gone and I miss them but have many many fond memories.

My mother listened tro Nat "King" Cole as long as I can remember..until the day she died...Every Sunday like clockwork I'd stop by my mother's home and we'd have coffee and Nat would be on her cassette player..She's gone now but those memories linger on. I still love listening to him..

When I was a little boy, I used to hear my father singing this song. I could be 4 or 5 yrs old, when he talked to me about Nat King Cole. He mentioned Araneta Coliseum where he watched the "King" performed.
Now my father is old, recently I bought him a set of hearing aid and CDs of Mr Cole, Frank Sinatra and Bing Crosby. We are thousands of miles apart, but I want to have my father feel that I love him and I cherish the moments when he shared his music with me.

Im pretty young, I listen mostly to current music but I would say that is the purest voice I have ever come across. Cole's voice all the way through that song is simply breath taking. Wow.
