Nature Boy was written by Eden Ahbez, one of the strangest songwriters of the pre-Hippie era. He was a beatnik poet, a proto-Hippie with long hair , a full beard, and routinely dressed in long, white, flowing garments. He lived in Griffith Park in Los Angeles, ate fruit, vegetables and nuts. Ahbez was born in Brooklyn in 1908 and died, March 4, 1995. This Spadecaller music video features the paintings of Bouguereau, Chagall, Da Vinci, Lenbach, Mesdag, Rembrandt, and Sargent.

  • I liked this song before it was on moulin rouge

  • Beautiful video! Thank you. One of my favorite songs, but I hadn't realized how many had sung it along with being integral parts of the movies like Moulin Rouge and Untamed Hearts. And still after viewing other performances, Nat King Cole remains my favorite. He doesn't just sing the words, you can tell he feels them. I loved what you did with the classic artwork and would like to see more such videos.

  • A real "True Classic" way up on anylist ! Yes even tingles and goosebumbs!

  • Old King Cole was a merry old soul, and a merry old soul was he .... I know of Nat King Cole from both my parents and from his Christmas album, but this song is such an amazing find to me. His voice is so rich and soulful; I am still moved to tears by his singing. I am happy to hear this song. Thank you.

  • That was beautiful...

  • Thanks for the nice video of the great old song.
