Nat 'King' Cole: L-O-V-E The Complete Capitol Recordings 1960-1964 Vol.2 (11-CD Deluxe Box Set)

In many ways, the last five years of Nat King Cole's recording career was his most successful period: despite the insurgence of rock 'n' roll and other non-traditional pop musics, Nat King Cole was riding higher than ever. He had more big hits in these years than ever before, and he mastered the technique of turning hit singles into best selling albums. The years 1960-1964 found Cole collaborating extensively with a new and outstanding musical director, the highly talented Ralph Carmichael, as well as creating some of his best-remembered albums with old friends like Billy May and Gordon Jenkins. There also were wonderful one-shot projects like his team-up with the great pianist George Shearing and Cole's only official live recording.

This second 11-CD set is the first complete collection of all of Nat King Cole's recordings from the final half-decade of his career, a total of 292 masters. The set includes all of the following albums, in many cases including rare 'bonus' material from the same sessions: Nat King Cole's only in-concert recording, 'Live At The Sands' (1960) ' universally regarded as one of the great live albums of all time. 'Wild Is Love' '
Nat King Cole's only original-story concept album, containing the classic title song, and his last collaboration with the great arranger Nelson Riddle (1960). 'The Magic Of Christmas' ' The King's only all-original Christmas concept album, a collection of traditional carols that marked his first project with the wonderful musical director Ralph Carmichael (1960). 'The Touch Of Your Lips' ' One of Cole's all-time greatest ballad albums, with sumptuous arrangements by the brilliant Mr. Carmichael (1960). 'Nat King Cole Sings / George Shearing Plays' '  

Another brilliant collection of love songs, Cole's only meeting with the marvelous jazz pianist, backed by more deluxe string arrangements from Ralph Carmichael ' including many bonus tracks (1961). 'The Nat King Cole Story' ' Nat King Cole's massive autobiographical statement of 1961, in which he recreated his classic hits of the '40s and '50s in state of the art stereo with the original orchestrations in an elaborate three-LP package ' including several bonus tracks. 'Let's Face The Music!' ' Cole's last teaming with his old chum Billy May proved to be one of the hardest-swinging albums of his career, in which he not only swung the hell out of 12 great songs but contributed five solos (the only ones of his career) on electric organ (1961)! 'More Cole Espanol' ' Nat King Cole's final Spanish-language album brought him South of the border to Mexico City, both musically and literally! With Ralph Carmichael (1962). 'Ramblin' Rose' ' Nat King Cole's first mega-hit of this period, a blockbuster country song 'by two Jewish boys from Brooklyn' that became one of his all-time best-sellers and led to an equally succesful album (1962). 'Dear Lonely Hearts' ' The second of Nat King Cole's country albums. (1962). 'Where Did Everyone Go' ' The only time that Nat King Cole recorded a set of saloon-and-suicide songs in the style of
Frank Sinatra's 'Only The Lonely.' An all-time classic if under-appreciated album of quality pop music, orchestrated in high style by the great Gordon Jenkins and featuring several all-time Nat King Cole classics, such as the title song and the haunting I Keep Going Back To Joe's (1962). 'My Fair Lady' ' Nat King Cole's marvelous but little-known recording of the complete score to the 1956 classic musical by Alan Jay Lerner and Frederick Lowe, with marvelous orchestrations by Ralph Carmichael (1963). Those Lazy, Hazy, Crazy Days Of Summer, one of the biggest hits of the early '60s, and a song that all but defined an era, expanded into a marvelous sing-a-long album ' 12 warmly nostalgic songs of the good old summertime, featuring Nat King Cole, Carmichael's orchestra and a large chorus. Includes That Sunday, That Summer, among the most beautiful songs Nat King Cole recorded in the later period (1963). 'I Don't Want To Be Hurt Anymore ' ' 

Cole's final country album, the most modern sounding of the three, with sophisticated charts by Ralph Carmichael, and including many bonus tracks and singles (1964). L-O-V-E  Nat King Cole's last hit was a German import by Bert Kaempfert that he and Ralph Carmichael worked into a classic album, all of hard-swinging, Basie-esque love songs with a continental flavor. Nat King Cole's final album featured some of the best singing (and swinging!) of his entire career. Plus over 40 singles, nearly none of them ever reissued on LP or CD, including some wonderful, hidden gems, such as : - Several outstanding showtunes, such as Look No Furtherfrom 'No Strings,' and Magic Moment from 'The Gay Life.' -
Nat King Cole's little-known 1960 reunion session with Stan Kenton and his Orchestra.

Nat King Cole's only date with arranger Richard Wess, which resulted in the swinging 'Cappuccina'.
A marvelous selection of foreign language versions of his hit songs, most never commonly available in any country! - Several outstanding movie songs, including Nat King Cole's vocals from his last film, the classic comedy-western 'Cat Ballou.'
Most of these singles tracks have only been heard in the last 40 years with over-dubbed rhythm section ' this package marks their first compilation in the orginal, untampered masters, as they were meant to be heard.

The hardcover book features the usual Bear Family amenities: 184 pages of full-color photos from the Capitol vault, extensive analysis and background by Will Friedwald, the definitive Nat King Cole scholar, as well as a complete discography and tune index by Michel Ruppli, Jordan Taylor, Russell Wapensky & Richard Weize.

"Nat 'King' Cole"

Nat King Cole

Geboren am 17. 3. 1917 als Nathaniel Adams Coles in Montgomery, Alabama- gestorben am 15.2.1965 in Santa Monica, Kalifornien. Ab 1934 leitete der Sänger und Pianist seine eigene Band The Royal Dukes. Fünf Jahre später formierte er das legendäre King Cole Trio mit dem Gitarristen Oscar Moore und Bassist Wesley Prince, der später von Johnny Miller abgelöst wurde.

Hits bis zum Beginn seiner Solo-Karriere: 15, darunter die Nr.-1-Erfolge '(I Love You) For Sentimental Reasons' (1946) und “Nature Boy' (1948). 1946 spielte er - einen Tag vor der Aufnahme durch Autor Bobby Troup - die Originalversion des Klassikers '(Get Your Kicks On) Route 66' für Capitol ein. Bis zu Nat King Coles Tod kamen genau 80 weitere Titel in die US-Hitlisten, zu den bekanntesten gehören 'Mona Lisa' (1950), 'Unforgettable' (1951), 'Pretend' (1953), 'Looking Back' (1958) und 'Ramblin' Rose' (1962). In den amerikanischen R&B-Charts konnte sich Nat King Cole zwischen 1942 und 1991 mit 46 Titeln platzieren.

Der Entertainer und Komponist wirkte auch in Kinofilmen wie 'St. Louis Blues' und “Cat Ballou' mit. 1991 kam 'Unforgettable' ein zweites Mal in die Charts: Nat King Coles Stimme wurde einer Version beigemischt, die seine Tochter Natalie (Jahrgang 1950) gesungen hatte. Einen 'Grammy' für sein Lebenswerk erhielt der angesehene Interpret posthum 1990, in die Rock'n'Roll Hall Of Fame wurde er in der Sparte “Early Influences' im Jahr 2000 aufgenommen. 'Answer Me, My Love' (Capitol F 2687) war im Februar 1954 unter diesem Titel ein Nr.-6-Single-Hit in den USA, die deutsche Original- fassung von 1952 hieß 'Mütterlein' (bei der GEMA angemeldet als 'Mütterlein, Mütterlein') und ist als Nat King Cole-Aufnahme nicht veröffentlicht worden. Er hat die deutsche Version in Los Angeles eingespielt. Die populärste Veröffentlichung im deutschsprachigen Raum stammt von Schlagerstar Leila Negra (Austroton 45 229), es existieren auch Fassungen in mehreren skandinavischen Sprachen.

Von Schweden aus gelangte das Lied dann in die USA- die Übersetzung besorgte Carl Sigman, ein renommierter Texter aus Brooklyn. Auch 'L-O-V-E' (in deutscher Sprache) wurde erst im Jahr 2002 auf einem Cole-Band des Capitol-Labels entdeckt, offiziell erschienen ist diese Version nie. Als englische Fassung gab es die Nat King Cole-Veröffentlichung 'L.O.V.E' auf der Single Capitol K 22818 (Deutschland) bzw. Capitol 5261 (USA). Ein weiterer Song war zumindest für eine Nat King Cole-Interpretation vorgesehen: Die amerikanische Sängerin Vangie Carmichael hatte 1963 bereits die sogenannten - 'guide vocals' (Führstimme) von “Schön ist die Welt' = “All Over The World' besorgt- ein entsprechendes Capitol-Tape mit der Kartonaufschrift 'German vocals for Nat- hold for Gillette' (= Cole-Produzent Lee Gillette) liegt vor.
Aus dem Bear Family Buch - 1000 Nadelstiche von Bernd Matheja - BFB10025 -

Nat King Cole

"Some performers - like myself - have to be loud and rambunctious. But Nat was just Nat."
- Sammy Davis, Jr.


Am 20. Dezember 1954, etwas mehr als eine Woche vor Beginn des Zeitraums, der von diesem Box-Set abgedeckt wird, nahmen Nat King Cole und sein musikalischer Leiter Nelson Riddle A Blossom Fell auf. Der Song wäre einer von Coles großen Hits von 1955; 1956 würde er zum Haupttrack seines Albums'Ballads Of The Day', einer beliebten 

Zusammenstellung erfolgreicher Singles, werden. Empirische Beweise deuten darauf hin, dass Cole und sein Produzent Lee Gillette A Blossom Fell als einen der größten Hits des Sängers aller Zeiten betrachteten. Cole landete mehr als hundert Songs in verschiedenen Hit-Charts über einen Zeitraum von 25 Jahren allein in seinem Leben, doch A Blossom Fell war einer der 36 Songs, die sie 1961 für das Retrospektivalbum "The Nat King Cole Story" in Stereo neu aufnahmen.

A Blossom Fell war in vielerlei Hinsicht ein typisches Lied von Nat King Cole. Wie viele seiner Hits in den 50er und 60er Jahren war es ein europäischer Import. Cole muss sicher den Rekord halten, man sollte den Ausdruck verzeihen, dass er mehr aus dem Ausland stammende Songs macht als jeder andere amerikanische Entertainer - mit der möglichen Ausnahme von Louis Armstrong. In diesem speziellen Fall kam das Lied aus England, wo es von drei eher obskuren Autoren namens Harold Cornelius, Dominic John und Howard Barnes geschrieben wurde. (Die einzige andere Tatsache, die ich über sie herausfinden konnte, ist, dass sie auch einen anderen Song geschrieben haben, den Cole in die Charts aufgenommen hat: die 1955 Dreams Can Tell A Lie. Diese Melodie war weder annähernd so gut wie ein Lied noch dementsprechend fast so groß wie A Blossom Fell.

Für die meiste Zeit seiner Karriere kam nicht nur ein bedeutender Teil von Cole's Material von außerhalb der Vereinigten Staaten, sondern auch ein großer Teil seines Marktes befand sich dort. Etwa zur gleichen Zeit wurde A Blossom Fell in Amerika veröffentlicht, Cole's CD wurde auch im Heimatland des Songs veröffentlicht, wo Cole's Version deutlich höher kletterte als konkurrierende Aufnahmen von einheimischen Croonern, Dickie Valentine und Ronnie Hilton.

Das Lied ist auch ein archetypischer Nat King Cole-Hit, der ohne Respektlosigkeit gegenüber Mr. Valentine und Mr. Hilton, ich bezweifle, dass sich jemand an dieses spezielle Lied - und viele andere - erinnern würde, wenn es nicht für Cole wäre. In gewisser Weise war dies das Gegenteil vom traditionellen Weg in das Great American Songbook. In vielen Fällen ist die ursprüngliche Quelle der großen Lieder irrelevant; nur Gelehrte und Musikfreaks würden sich darum kümmern, dass All The Things You Are von einem Sänger vorgestellt wurde, von dem noch nie jemand gehört hat (sogar 1939) in einer Show namens "Very Warm For May", die schnell floppte. A Blossom Fell ist genau das umgekehrte Szenario: Wir kümmern uns nur um den Song, weil Nat Cole damit einen Hit hatte. Wir hätten keinen Grund, uns an das Lied zu erinnern, wenn es nicht für Cole wäre; er hat es nicht nur auf die Karte gesetzt, er war die ganze Karte.

Obwohl es von einer Handvoll anderer Sänger aufgenommen wurde, kommt die einzige Glaubwürdigkeit des Songs von der Cole-Riddle-Hit-Aufnahme. Die österreichische Jazzsängerin Simone Kopemajer hat es kürzlich auf ein

 Album aufgenommen, weil sie, wie sie mir sagte, die Cole-Performance davon liebte. Für Frau Kopemajer stellt Blossom ein Stück des Great American Songbook und des Cole Canon dar - ich glaube nicht, dass sie wusste, dass das Lied tatsächlich aus Europa stammt.

Aber im Gegensatz zu All The Things You Are - und das ist zugegebenermaßen ein ungerechter Vergleichsmaßstab - ist A Blossom Fell keineswegs ein klassisches Beispiel für Songwriting. Der Text dreht sich um zwei Punkte, der erste ist die Verwendung von Pflanzen als Metapher. Cole sang andere Lieder, die Variationen dieser Idee benutzten, vor allem die berühmte Blue Gardenia (1953), den obskuren Sweet William (1952) und die klassischen Autumn Leaves (die er 1955 zum ersten Mal aufführte).

Der Text verwendet auch eine andere altehrwürdige Eitelkeit von Songwritern: die Idee, dass Zigeuner, die Wahrsager sind, eine Rasse von Mystikern sind, die das innere Dope über das Schicksal haben. Während viele der ethnischen Stereotypen der Tin Pan Alley in der Nachkriegszeit verschwunden waren, war die vorgefasste Vorstellung von Zigeunern offensichtlich lebendig und gut. In Liedern wie Golden Earrings und The Gypsy (und sogar Cole's eigene, früher That Ain't Right) bewerten Liebhaber ihre Affären anhand von verräterischen Zeichen, die von Zigeunern in Teeblättern und Kristallkugeln gelesen werden.

Ich habe keine Ahnung, ob die in A Blossom Fell präsentierte Tradition ein echter Zigeunerbrauch ist, oder ob sie vollständig für das Lied erfunden wurde. In der Tat ist es eine peinliche Idee, eines dieser Konzepte, das so albern ist, dass ich fast glauben möchte, dass es wirklich Teil der Folklore der echten Roma war. Wenn zwei Liebende unter einem Baum sitzen, ein Gelübde der Zuneigung austauschen und eine Blüte von einem Ast fällt und die Lippen eines der beide

n Liebenden berührt, bedeutet das, dass er oder sie nicht die Wahrheit sagt, wenn er oder sie sagt, dass er oder sie ihn liebt.

Es ist eine unangenehme Idee, sich in Liedern auszudrücken, und es ist sehr unangenehm ausgedrückt. Das Lied beginnt, "Eine Blüte fiel / Von einem Baum / Es setzte sich sanft ab / Auf den Lippen wendest du dich an mich." ...

Customer evaluation for "L-O-V-E The Complete Capitol Recordings 1960-1964 Vol.2 (11-CD Deluxe Box Set)"
5 Mar 2023

Some of the very best of Mr. Nat King Cole!

Wonderful complete anthology of Nat's final five years at Capitol. The tracks are in chronological order of session dates, making it easier to see when everything was recorded. Some of Nat's very best work is here, including the iconic Christmas album, as well as "The Touch of Your Lips", "Nat King Cole Sings, George Shearing Plays", "Wild is Love", "The Nat King Cole Story" (including the tracks that were recorded for, but left off for time constraints of the vinyl LP's). Plenty of previously unreleased material is here, completing the picture of what Nat was up to. Sound quality is mostly excellent and uniform. If you are a Nat "King" Cole fan or just love a truly great voice and outstanding musicianship, this set is required listening. 5-Stars!
