I love, love Nat King Cole, circa late 1950's. Voice of silk, his singing is enjoyable with your eyes closed too, try it...
I hope your day gets better and better, Gina

Hello,
ReplyDeleteYou touch my hart with Nat King Cole, I am crazy about him, my favorite song is "unforgettable".
Yes, that is my favorite too Ellada , will put that one on soon, take care ! Gina
ReplyDeleteThat's actually on my iPod!! Great tune - for so many reasons! Thanks for sharing (and maybe introducing some people to Nat King Cole!)
ReplyDeleteShining Gina, I had a hunch your epic garden had pink and misty lavender, and sho nuff!- it's in the beautiful floral shots above! By the way, even though it does not top Nat King Cole's version, I feel Willie Nelson came in with a close second with his Stardust version from his Stardust album in the mid 70's. Also includes "Sunny side of the Street' and a smoky "Moonlight in Vermont" Best!
ReplyDeleteYes Taylor, I have heard Willie many times, and that version too. He has some great soft old country/soft-rock love songs , thanks ! Gina
ReplyDeleteGina,
ReplyDeleteWho would have thought such a beautiful gift would have come wrapped in a Youtube video? Thank you for sharing. It was a blessing.
May I ask, what are those incredible blue and white flowers in the third picture from the top? The shape reminds me of hollyhock, but I've never seen anything like them.
Blessings,
Terri
Those are delphiniums . I bought them and planted them in my garden in two places this Spring. I love blue flowers too, so glad you enjoyed Nat King Cole, take care, Gina
ReplyDeleteWhat beautiful photo of you and your dog. The blue delphinium is also beautiful. Lovely post all together.
ReplyDeleteThanks much Lisa !
ReplyDeletegreat song!
ReplyDeleteoh I was born too late music-wise. :)
thanks for the song AND the laugh today! the laugh was from your comment on my blog about never being told "you have the brownest eyes while wearing brown". that absotootly cracked me and my hubby up today! it's true though...you never hear that. i'm sure you have beautiful eyes!
ReplyDeleteGood Morning,
ReplyDeleteWhat lovely blogs you have-sounds like little red riding hood : )
Anyway, I too love Nat and asked for and received one of his rare albums as a Christmas gift circa in the 1980's sometime. So, timelessly classic and fun to know that others love him too. : )

Hi Sherri, No , you were bron right on time ! thanks
ReplyDeleteErin- Sad but true statement, brown eyes are discriminated against , glad I at least made you smile though !
Alexandria-I love Nat King Cole ever since I was a child and my Mom would play his songs ( LP's ) alot around the house, thanks for stopping by !
I know what I am - in awe of your terrific blog. Love the words you shared at the top.
ReplyDeleteOh my oh my.... what a genius. thanks for putting that up Gina, his timing, his tone of voice and the apparantly effortless approach to the lyrics...well it can't be bettered and seldom equalled. G.
