- Thanks to the developers at Topaz labs, I could remake the upscaling for this fantastic show. Finally the result has much more fine details restored, and the image looks absolutely natural, way much better then the original havilly compessed blocky tv streem video and the earlier upscalled version I have uploaded. Hope you'll like it, Géza.
In about a year Jack Benny would be eulogizing Nat King Cole at his funeral... Nat Cole was one of the greatest voices of the 20th century..
Great picture quality. I like Nat, his voice was perfect for ballads. Nobody sings like this anymore. Thanks for sharing with us. When I might have seen this in 1964, I never seen it color. We couldn't afford a color TV.
Can't believe I found this rare appearance by (as Jack said) 'the best friend a song ever had'. He looked so well and at the peak of his form, but the ravages of lung cancer took him backstage forever just one year later. Thank you Vas for a real gem.
you prolly dont care but if you're bored like me during the covid times you can watch all the new series on Instaflixxer. Been streaming with my girlfriend during the lockdown =)
@Kylo Ramon Definitely, been watching on Instaflixxer for years myself :)
This was evidently released in January 1964. Nat King Cole passed away in February of 1965 just over one year away, it was his last television performance.
He should have controlled his smoking habits…
@@alphatwosiri6697 at that time smoking was ubiquitous and ads even showed drs promoting smoking. It isn't fair to blame anyone for living in a particular era and living by it's dictates.
Nat's last performance is listed in IMdB as Nov 13, 1964 on The Jack Paar Program.
@@MrJoeybabe25 ...Correct!
Smoking was (and is) a powerful addiction.. not just a habit... It's not like picking your nose..😮
That rendition of When I Fall In Love... utter perfection, made me cry my eyes out. Lovely color work - thank you
It's Gordon Jenkins' 1956 arrangement.
Certainly one of the greatest....and also a good man. I was 3 yrs. old when he passesd. Around 22 or 23 later @ 26 I started listening to his music and have not stoped. I have L-O.V-E..playing in the background. Continue to rest in Peace Mr. Cole and thank you
I need a time machine to go back in time , i was born in 1984 but ...I think I' m from many years after that ... Watching this I kinda feel the nostalgia of been there laughing and enjoying ... Thxs for uploading this video
I generally despise colorization but this was watchable and nicely restored. Thank you.
Your wrong colourised brings black and white to life
Just imagine to be able to see/hear any of his performances live
My favorite Jack Benny show!
Oh thank god your back. I’ve been binging all of your Nat King Cole uploads for the past 2 weeks and have been patiently waiting for two months for a new upload! You are doing such great work preserving, restoring, and slightly improving this old footage of an absolute musical genius! Nat King Cole is my absolute favorite artist and preformer and in my opinion one of the best musicians of all time. He was such a class act. There has and never ever will be another Nat King Cole. This world didn’t deserve him and we lost him FAR too soon. I’m so glad someone loves Nat as much as me and has the expertise in restoring this footage and preserving it for us fans of today and and of tomorrow. Thank you thank you thank you so much Vas Géza!!!!!!! Your work definitely brings a smile to my face and definitely does not go unnoticed! Keep it up, for all fans of Nat!
Originally telecast on January 21, 1964.
Wonderful program. Thank you!
Thanks for posting!

This is really great! Thank you!
That's Jeanette Eymann, Jack's secretary and part-time bit player, at 0:32 (Jack says "You're very pretty" to her).
A big wish from Hamburg: Can you also make clips of the great drummer gene krupa in this fantastic quality? Please do it and you will make thousands of swing fans all over the world happy!
Love it! Great job!
Ohhh man you are the best
Thanks.:)
Just to sign you, I'm working on Nat's 'Had full of stars' tune from 1951. It will be true multichannel stereo when it's finished. Check back in a few days. Have a great evening, Géza.
@@vas-schwarczgeza4894 Yes ill be keeping a close watch 🙏🏾 thank you
Thank you, Vas Géza!
Great DES stereo!
That's a five year old James Bradley Jr. on drums.
Excellent work. Did you use Artemis to upscale?
Isn’t this the year he died
answer that question yourself by simply asking your search engine, geez
Mi ídolo Nat King Cole un año antes de su muerte su voz estaba más ronca por el cigarrillo, pero era tan grande o más importante que Frank Sinatra, pero era negro, ya saben, el Racismo!
