Did you ever hear him sing "Nature Boy?"

Oh my God. I'd only heard Sinatra sing it until recently and I didn't think I could ever hear anything better. But Nat King Cole and Nature boy just takes your breath away.

When my son got married I gave him a card with the words to that song on it. His wife said it was from Moulon Rouge. I guess every generation sees things a little differently.

It's usually a classic because it's perfect already.

        And that applies also to our national anthem.
