Nat King Cole - First Time Hearing: Nature Boy | Reaction

[@MusikPiratCH]

As far as I know Nat King Cole was one of the first black artists who had his own TV show. At that time that tells it all. His smooth velvet voice is unique. I love Nat King Cole!

[@ashlenamusic]

It definitely is!

[@IAMisLove]

👍Nat King Cole had an amazing and soothing voice. 🖖❤

[@taccamine8312]

His soothing pitch perfect voice has never had a male paralell ❤

[@paulkossak7761]

He was a fabulous piano player and had such a smooth vocal style.

Such a beautiful song with a wonderful message, your face as you were first listening was a beautiful picture too...this 57 yr old discovered this original track this week too..the world is now a brighter place♥️🙏

[@Holgerdansk]

it just shows again how respectful Aurora's cover versions are. She has her own style but uses it without exaggerating or changing too much of the original songs. his version is still incredible and I remember my parents having that record as old thick vinyl. You are of a different generation and are perhaps more familiar with the popular oldies, but this is perhaps a small reminder that you can also create a reaction to old music.

[@riggamorrischan]

Stardust is a beautiful song by him as well

[@mikelipke9404]

what pure and beautiful voice, his list of great songs is massive, try Smile, Unforgettable,

[@kevdenn]

Yes, 67 year old Aurora fan and I have never heard the original "Nature Boy" by Nat King Cole before. This was great to see and hear, and the quality was so good considering when it was made. I'm going to listen to more of his songs. Thanks!

[@ashlenamusic]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@celinel9750]

My father was a pretty fan of that old jazz and those album were playing in the back ground of my home many evening. :-)

[@genboyer]

Mahalo for this Ash! (tears) Love and Aloha!!

[@ahmad.tillery.1987]

The first time I heard this song I had to keep hearing it over, such a flawless vocal performance and piano playing. He was and will forever be the G.O.A.T. 🐐🐐🐐🐐 RIP Nat King Cole 🙏🌹

[@ashlenamusic]

Right?? He was incredible

[@RommerskirchenFrank]

That was cute. I saw it the first time too. But how much did Auroras MAGIC add to the song!!!!! In the beginning I thought this song was done by Aurora, cause it matches so perfectly with her magical fairylike personality...

[@armandogarza6181]

I really enjoyed this song by Nat. I don't think I've heard any music from his early career, but that voice I've always loved, good one Ashlena, cheers.

[@ashlenamusic]

Appreciate it!! Yeah the I’m not in danger I’m the danger I made it myself :)

[@andrewpetik2034]

I am pleased to see people finding these absolute gems from the past. I am 60 this month and we grew up with my grandparents music WW1 and very early bluegrass and country, my parents music, Big Band Era and the 1950s/1960s crooners...including Nat King Cole and then our babysitting cousins rock and roll of the 50s- 60s... My siblings and I got a musical history lesson. Your reaction and discussion is great! 👍💪✌️🙏

[@ashlenamusic]

Aww thanks for watching xx

[@Em-ah]

Enjoy your reactions to music - always intetesting. Love Nat King Cole. A last passed done throigh my family generations. I often think I would like to hear him sing with modern arrangements. Nat King Cole singing When I Fall In Love is on my playlist (along with Nothing But Thieves) I love him singing that song.

[@ashlenamusic]

Ooooo I’m pretty sure I’ve heard that one 🥰 gonna go relisten

[@jamierobson8825]

Awesome reaction Ash. Nat was definitely one of the best there ever was. Unforgettable is another classic of his. His voice is pure velvet!❤

[@ledoutofshadow8004]

So beautiful. Both Aurora and Nat King Cole's versions. This is not written by NKC however, although it is often called his song. Eden Ahbez wrote this in 1947ish.

[@ledoutofshadow8004]

P.S. I think Auroras Nidarosdomen performance of this song is the best ever done.

[@ashlenamusic]

Yup I said that in the video :)

[@ashlenamusic]

Agreed

[@scottsmith2294]

Nat King Cole owns "Nature Boy" (especially the B&W, Trio version) like Whitney owns "I Will Always Love You". The message is timeless... the greatest thing, you'll ever learn, is just to love, and be loved in return.

[@ashlenamusic]

Whitney owns that song for sure but nature boy? I like auroras way better

[@franZisPaOlo]

❤

[@MICHAELASHER.]

He owns this song, and for generations to lose that is heartbreaking. Oscar Moore, great jazz guitarist as well. You should do an occasional GENIUS more often. So glad you did this, even though your numbers will be low. Django Reinhardt, maybe. No excuse, l was born in the 50's and l know singers back to Ragtime, I'm joking, most of my kids don't care. Lol. Adios cuz. By the way, I'm guessing the Miles Vinyl is " Kinda Blue".

[@helgar791]

There is Nat's original version of "Nature Boy" and then there is everyone else

[@ashlenamusic]

Truth

[@Josian-ps7fb]

Knowing Aurora and her covers, one should always listen to the original I think, to compare... Aurora... covers... well, to close a loop, so to speak, David Bowie did a cover of this song(3'22"), check it out privately if you wish: Nature Boy - David Bowie: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hXXRm6iqr62ge80 Always a pleasure to listen to the original, thanks for the reaction.🙂👍

[@earflow4300]

The George Benson version 🤌🏾

[@DanDuBar]

HI! I'm a new subscriber 😅 if you see a person is watching literally all of your videos that's me!! I think you could probably enjoy Weyes Blood, would you be down to give a listen reaction to "Something To Believe" by Weyes Blood? Thank you ❤

[@ashlenamusic]

Haha all good binge away!

[@FixNewsPlease]

So dead. Like...dusty dead. Funny how celebs live on. Such a cool old number. 9/10

[@oldmanjimh3165]

How to turn a stoey into a song.

[@ashlenamusic]

Exactly
