Natalie Cole & will.i.am - Straighten Up And Fly Right

Natalie Cole and will.i.am teamed up to reimagine the 1943 standard "Straighten Up And Fly Right" which was the first of many Nat King Cole hits recorded for Capitol Records. This RE:GENERATIONS recording features Natalie and Nat in a cool duet with will.i.am behind the board.

lol, he is rolling in his grave...

I guess it's OK if they say, "Nat would have loved it" or "Nat was there". In reality, it's for the money and NOBODY knows if Nat would have liked it or not.

[jaemccsegr]

these clowns actually think they "created" some masterpiece.

this is a disgrace to Nat's memory.

your are man

I don't dislike it, but I still preffer the original version. A good idea it's a funky feeling in the melody line, and a swing frenzy in the bridge.

I love the original but the mix with rap doesn't sound good.

Straighten up and Fly right was Nat's best song ever! So fun and just great to listen to. Every time I hear it I want to move!
