For the first time on a single release, all existing songs recorded by the great Nat King Cole with orchestras conducted and/or arranged by the equally great Nelson Riddle. Cole and Riddle started their extended collaboration in 1950 and continued to work together regularly for a whole decade until 1960, when Ralph Carmichael became Cole s main conductor. The songs are presented here chronologically in session order, and are accompanied by a comprehensive booklet including rare photos, memorabilia, and detailed information on the dates. Along with well known classics such as Unforgettable and Mona Lisa , this collection presents dozens of rarely heard and hard to find songs which had never been issued before in their proper context. Includes 40-page booklet with rare photos & memorabilia, updated liner notes, and detailed discographical information.
