XMAS TUNES YULE not HATE: NAT KING COLE
Not even Dave Chappelle can ruin the smooth of Nat King Cole. Okay, he ruined it a little bit, since we kept waiting for him to pour champagne over a writhing woman in an evening dress and call her “a trifling beeeyutch.” Even with that, the smooth is still there. We haven’t even started drinking (heavily) yet, and we already feel two snifters of cognac deep in the night thanks to Nat.

The only bad thing that has ever come from Nat King Cole is the fact that his daughter bears in eerie resemblence to him.
I’ve always been scared that he faked his death, so he could probably transition before his sexual reassignment surgery, and then re-emerged as “Natalie”.

That dude had a voice as smooth as silk.
As long as you are hitting the classics, listen to Otis belting out another holiday fave

RIP Otis, 40 years now.
Oh, and here’s Bing and Ziggy Stardust.

Any other version of holiday songs not done by Nat or Sinatra don’t sound as good.
There is no other version of “O Come All Ye Faithful” to me other than Cole’s; singing both in English and Latin.
