Nat King Cole NBC Show -2-

Nat 'King' Cole Show Episode aired September 3, 1957.

Peggy Lee sings : My Heart Stood Still
Lyrics by, Lorenz Hart. Music by, Richard Rodgers

I took one look at you,
That's all I meant to do
And then my heart stood still
My feet could step and walk
My lips could move and talk
And yet my heart stood still

Though not a single word was spoken, I could tell you knew
That unfelt clasp of hands told me so well you knew
I never lived at all until the thrill of that moment when
My heart stood still

Though not a single word was spoken, I could tell you knew
That unfelt clasp of hands told me very well you knew
I never lived at all until the thrill of that moment when
My heart stood still.

By Nathaniel Cole, Charlotte Hawkins.

(with you on my mind,
With you on my mind)

With you on my mind,
How can I do anything?
With you on my mind,
All the time remembering.

Got an achin heart
Thinkin how it used to be.
With you on my mind,
When you gave your love to me.

I believed in your love (your love)
Thought I was your true love (true love),
But you found a new love (new love)
Who changed your mind (who changed your mind).

Now that you are gone,
I just seem to spend my time
Feelin so forlorn,
With you always on my mind.

~interlude~

Now that you are gone,
I just seem to spend my time
Feelin so forlorn,
With you on my mind.

Feelin so forlorn,
With you always on my mind.
(with you on my mind)

This show aired on a Tuesday night, September 3, 1957; the night I was born!

[pierstheoneandonly]

Thanks again for posting these.

Great, i just picked up "With you on my mind" on a 78 rpm and knew nothing about it, seeing your video put it into context for me and I thank you so much for posting this great rare piece of TV history, I have to wonder if my grandparents saw this, back in '57!! Also think it's great that his music was changing and did come close to that "rock and roll sound", just so he could keep up with the times, his voice, as always was still wonderful!

Peggy Lee was an iconic singer & a true natural beauty. Love always,

a long time fan

Hubba Hubba Peggy Lee, for the 50's that was a lot of skin showing. I was only 12 then but she sure rang my bell. Of course Nat was simply the best. What a great, clip and I have no idea how someone could have this and put it on U-tube 52 years later.

for comparison: listen to the Mamas and the Papas version of this same song

[BigBirdy100]

Where does somebody come up with video from 1957?

Like always, Nat was in fine form.
