P.S. Unfortunately I had to cut out the song "In The Middle Of An Island" performed by Tony Bennett, because the video would be unavailable in the UK. Sorry:(
TONY BENNETT ❤❤❤😮😮😮NAT KING COLE ENTERTAINMENT GREAT 👍👍👍 NICE 💯💯💯 SINGER 😮😮😮
What a gracious man
And Tony Bennett is flawless as always. Tony and Nat on the same show. Why is 1950s TV so much better than current offerings?
Notice how Tony reaches out his hand to Nat during the introduction. The fact they shook hands in that era is significant.
@@neilcoligan8621 As a soldier in WWII Tony formed a band with a black drummer. His CO had him transferred, telling him "We don't like the company you keep." Tony was never one to judge by skin color.
@@neilcoligan8621 Nobody cared about two men or two women shaking hands or embracing.
The man had class.
Yes Sir!
EXCELLANT,SUPER❤❤❤❤❤
Has there ever been a more perfectly cool and classy performer?
I can't think so(don't
Not in our Galaxy perhaps in another replica might be found oh this mesmerizing voice
Nat Cole: A voice like velvet. Plus class, musicality, perfection.
This television show was and remains the high point of American mass media culture. A show with Excellence in every respect: the best performers with great material, a great band and great backup singers. And most importantly, it was delivered with Class and Sincerity, never looking down on the viewer or dumbing itself down. It was too good to last! So grateful these episodes have been preserved and uploaded. Keep it Real, folks, and KNOW what we've got while we have it!
You probably know that the series was videotaped for later broadcast. I don't know what happened to the tapes, but thank God we have the kinescopes. They are everything you wrote and more. Nat is my favorite singer.
Best black Jazz singer
*Best Jazz Singer
wow pure magic..love it
The whole "taking over the show" thing is really hokey but it's fun to see these giants of music stumble through it. The main thing is the music ... just great! Nat and Tony, matchless entertainers.
What a singer and classy fellow, Nat King Cole. Velvety voice.
This is when people had class. He had such a wonderful voice. So smooth and velvety. He was awesome 👏🏼
Believe so too
20:24 "Here is the greatest rendition of Stardust that I have ever heard." Me too, Tony. Me too.
Miss you Dad. Dad loved Mr. Cole.
My Dad too.
No one could sing "Stardust" like Nat King Cole!♥️👍
Listening to Stardust revives childhood memories of feeling safe and loved while sitting next to that big Zenith stereo console with my mother.
Well said sir.
He was one of the GREATS! I remember watching this show in the fifties when I was a child. My mother loved Nat King Chole and I even liked him as a child. This brings back a much more simple time in life. I 'm so glad we have the thechnolgy today that people can experience it again or for the first time. Things are so difficuilt in this Covid pandemic. it's nice to be able to go to a much better easier time in life. I'm enjoying this so much. Whoever put this online THANK YOU.
You are welcome, Pamela!
My mama too
20:00 Often it takes time to recognize a 'definitive' classic...you usually need a few decades to pass to gather comparative data and access the durability and impact of a performance. Not necessary here. Nat King Cole's 1957 recording of 'Stardust' for many years now has been widely recognized as the definitive vocal for this definitive American standard. Seeing Tony Bennett literally make the call in real time is impressive. 65 years later, its still reigns supreme.
My brother Donald Lee Wyatt appeared on the Nat king Cole show.
I'll never find man like Cole his out of this world
1957, it would be 2 more years before I would be born. He was a great singer and a man with class. Unforgettable. 7/25/2020
Very soothing leaves in a romantic state
This amazing American had vocals like no other American had or will have in the future
love him....
Nice to see he had finally gotten sponsors by this time instead of his show being "self-sustaining". Still, for years after this, until the premiere of "Julia", as Nat famously said, "Madison Avenue is afraid of the dark."
i know it is kinda off topic but do anyone know a good site to stream new tv shows online ?
@Charlie Jimmy Flixportal :)
@Xavier Kylo Thank you, I signed up and it seems like a nice service :D I really appreciate it !
@Charlie Jimmy you are welcome :)
The show had spotty sponsorship throughout ... Reingold Beer was a regional sponsor for the show in the east - good for them.
It's stupid how reluctant Madison Ave and networks were about entertainers of color ... mostly the American audience accepted a great talent regardless of these concerns. (Did you know the CBS was originally scared to have Lucy and Desi star together because they were a mixed race couple! People didn't care - they loved them.)
Absolutely in time 🕰️⏰🕥🙏🏼
Nat was one of the greatest voices of the 20th century.. with guests like Tony Bennett.. the show was the top of top..
I'm here for Tony Bennett. 😢
Me for nat
I love the natural transitions.
Wow any more of the Nate king cole shows please I love his great voice.
Did you know that frank Sinatra’s music leader was nat king cole show band leader on tv
Jim Stark wow
@Jim Stark ...You're absolutely and positively correct, Jim! It was Nat "King" Cole who made Nelson Riddle famous. As quiet as it was kept, the was the former was instrumental getting Sinatra to Capitol Records. Nat "King" Cole was also a great jazz pianist. The latter was Capitol Records, the house that Nat built. Thanks, Jim!
"Stardust" still one of the best renditions,
Me teletransporta a esa apoca❤️
So weird the sound with the paper 😂
Interaction with the orchestra is unique
Pleasant video,Thank you .
You are welcome!
Excelente 😄
STARDUTS QUE BELLA CANCION ME FASCINA,
what a marvelous time!!
This was first episode of Nat's show I ever watched, several years ago. All of those shows have at least one special performance and this one features "Raintree County" sung live by Nat from the stage of the Sands.
Love it ! ❤🎶💕👒🎩🥰
🌈🌲❤🥰
My FunnyValentine ! ❤🤣🔥🥂⚘ Dixieland !

NAT KING COLE MAGICO.
Well I'll be.... I remember my uncle wearing his hair just like that. From the show Sanford and Son,I remember Fred saying: "If your hair is short and nappy Konkaline will make it happy!"
Best music of that era. Why did Rock 'n Roll ever happen?
‘🎶❤️ ‘Rheingold is my been the dry beer 🍻 🙏🏼🏝️🥴🎵

tony bennett 1926 2023🕊🙏
Who cares how corny the show is? Just listen to the most amazing voice of the century and smile
wow tony bennett was so young. rip antonio delvecchio. "and as for you my dear...happy holidays you trifling b/tch yes yes im horney thats sexy tv."--chappelle show nat king cole skit
I got turn off when that small woman called Mr. Cole a “boy”
The world is too much with us.
We are told so often what problems we have with race that we don't know how to just relax and listen without reading too much into every little word. I think Natalie was a native Hawaiian, so she would probably have dealt with some bias herself. I don't think there was anything intended in her introduction aside from a friendly tone ... after all, this was a BIG break for them to appear on Nat's show ... he was a very popular entertainer and they would not have done anything to offend him.
Raintree County is one of my top five favorite Cole songs. I first heard it in the Ella's Fitzgerald episode. Do you have that one?
Sadly no Jason 😔
Who else is here because of Karen & Dr. Carr?
LOL damn i better get back to the lecture
Who?
whatever happened to the Beachcombers with Natalie? Was she vietnamese?
They said they met her in Hawaii ... I assume she was native Hawaiian.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
this shit hits different knowing it was during the segregation era. truly beautiful and wholesome
Everyone loved Nat. He was a truly gifted jazz musician with a warm, unique voice and an engaging personality. He had a kind of universal appeal that's very rare among entertainers .... to a great degree he transcended all those issues of the day. It was a huge loss when he died so young, a remarkable man and talent.
That's my anty Natalie
That's my Aunty
Thurgood Marshall said bad things about Nat Cole. Insulted him horribly. Nobody else I know of ever did.
He wasn't alone, although he and the Chicago Defender paper certainly went lower than others did. Roy Wilkins at least had the decency to frame his criticism as an invitation for Cole to get involved in the civil rights struggle, rather than settle for calling him an "Uncle Tom" like Marshall did, or, like the "Defender", portray him as a race traitor.
@@MinecraftRick "Traitors" like Nat showed everyone of every color how to transcend differences and address them as a result. He was no "Tom" ... he was a warm, hugely talented man with an engaging quality as an entertainer that prompted jealously in more petty people. Many of his critics did a lot of good in their way but I think they completely missed the point with Nat.
If I was pious of some sort i would bestow sainthood on this particular individual
Who was the guest named Natalie?
May be his
daughter?
@@CostAnder Do you have the episode with Pearl Bailey?
@@jakej.5996 Unfortunately no. But maybe I can find it for you
@@CostAnder Yes, please. That was one of my favorite episodes.
@@jakej.5996 Ok, I will post it if I found or buy:)
i
Excellent.
Is it at all possible that you could post Episode #12? That has one of Nat's BEST performances where he magically sings "Soft Sands".
I'd be forever grateful.
Currently, I don't have this episode. But if I'll find it or buy it, I'll post it here:)
Wonderful, wonderful.
Even if you do not find it, thank you so very much.
You are welcome!
