Nat King Cole Mr. Cole Won't Rock & Roll 1960 10. 09.

I'd like to pay a the ribute in memory of the late Natalie cole With his father's great song, Mr. Cole won't Rock & Roll. she had a fabulos career and life. Too bad I couldn't go to her concert in Hungary a few years ago. I will miss her so much. It ended an era with her death for ever. Rest in peace dear Natalie. finally you can meet your father and mom in heaven.

Anyone who knows Nat Cole and 50'sRock And Roll HAS to love this.

[@georgeb.wolffsohn30]

He just pegs the conventions of 50's popular music 😂🤣😂

[@xfhghe]

I think Nat King Cole pointed out in a humorous way what was obvious to many then that Rock and Roll is so gimmicky.

[@gregoryagogo]

He so clumsy when he does his rock'n'roll dancing shtick! Quite genius. He always comes through so genuine and warm.

[@vvvvvv2086]

One of the many things I love about Nat King Cole is he can produce absolute brilliance with absolutely no effort. This performance is a great example. Thanks for uploading.

[@RodrickColbert]

Only a performer comes around like that once in lifetime or a generation. I wished he had lived as long as the great Tony Bennett.

[@ivettepalacin8599]

Nat sounds great doing rock; why not!?

[@Playbyplaymedia]

I rank this right alongside "Those Lazy-Hazy-Crazy Days of Summer".

[@tankhalffull]

The greatest voice ever..Love you Nat!

[@TokioExpress]

I would kill to go back in time to meet him.

[@NotHarpoGroucho]

It's an expression

[@lordcron]

Oh God man take me with you and drop me off! I would go back there in a heartbeat and never come back!!

[@kevinclarke8647]

Can you believe Nat and Dinah. What a treat. The King giving a few jabs at Rock & Roll. I'm KOOL with it.!

[@josephcostello695]

Send for me was a rock n roll song and a great song from him. He can sing anything. Loved to have heard him sing Beatle love songs

[@Themaddprof]

Natalie later said that Nat was none too fond of The Beatles music, but he did not live to hear the likes of Yesterday, which he would have done well with.

[@you_tubeslonelyheartsclubband]

​@@Themaddprof that's quite the shame. Paul really loved those jazzy numbers, especially Sinatra, Peggy Lee, and Nat Cole.

[@demef758]

Nat was more than a singer. MUCH more than a singer! Nat was also a TV pioneer, the first black man to have his own TV show. Not an easy thing to do back then!

[@kurtgant8748]

Nat was the best!! Greatest voice

[@robertwallerjr.]

Thanks for posting....I never knew there was a televised version of this song. THANK YOU!!!!!!!!

[@MrMarcoKoers]

Ive been looking for a live version of this great song for ages. Thanks!

[@vvvvvv2086]

MrMkoers : Its On The Nat King Cole at the Sands: The Complete Lost Concert cd.

[@kirby19711]

Awesome SG!!!!....Thanks for uploading this classic performance by two of the greatest artists ever!

[@lordcron]

This man was incredible! Love his Era of music!

[@bobzwol]

Dinah simply adored Nat! What a wonderful tribute this is Géza! Thank you my friend!

[@rouryglen]

Mr Smooooooth

[@khunjilin]

Thanks for uploading. Nat is so genius!

[@Themaddprof]

Well, Lewis Lymon and the Teen Chords (Frankie's brother) actually did a splendid rock and roll version of "Too Young."

[@edwardcastilano8453]

There was an issue of "Live at The Sands" that has this tune as an encore.

[@abulmeez]

Fantastic! Love it !

[@KariIzumi1]

Is it wrong that id love to see covers of his song in the modern 50s rock and roll style? :p

[@nelkatanelka]

Oh, what a precious present for the New Year it was!Thank you! (koszonom)****Still sad abot Natalie, that News is still tormenting me :(

[@enviroawareness]

Thank you so so much for uploading this incredible clip, Schwarcz! I have to ask, where did you get this beautiful footage? It looks like it is straight off the master tapes.

[@marioponceenrile]

He cut out the Elvis part hahah Legendary Nat 👑 Cole

[@sergebaron9086]

if don't know I will tell you ,1804 Haitian bring jazz to new Orleans. now you have

[@marcoevans2155]

Nathaniel wasn't having it.

[@marcoevans2155]

We all no darn well where jazz came from. From the people who used to spell know how it sounded 👊🏿

[@johnnyappleseed856]

He could've!

[@eddiewakesmusic3137]

Hey Vas, would you be interested in some music production work with me?

[@gregoryagogo]

Kookie, go park the CAAaaaarrrr

[@yingtzu3677]

Even if its not his forte...still a lot better than the demonic junk they play today

[@TheTralfaz]

Mr. Cole is a great singer and pianist, but the rock and roll bit was really lame ...especially the over use of the Teddy Bear guitar lick by the arranger....a pretty sloppy attempt

[@garrisonic]

I adore Nat but this is a horendous arrangement most like not of his pen. He died very shortly after this sadly. Such an inspiration for an entire race and culture. His "trio" recordings are some of my favorites of anything I own.

[@royrowland5763]

Well, if by "very shortly after this" you mean about 4 1/2 years later, then yes.

[@PhoenixEstate]

It's just this performance, listen to the 'Live at the Sands' version

[@jimmywayne238]

Have you ever preformed live? I have. He did a great job. With all due respect. Shut up, sit down and enjoy this little piece of history you have the privilege to experience.

[@georgeb.wolffsohn30]

It's not meant to be as wonderful as his usual music. It's a parody of rock and roll. P.S. : "rock" was used in the middle '30's. Way before rock and roll.

[@georgeb.wolffsohn30]

@@jimmywayne238 Amen.
