| This compilation of Nat "King" Cole's Yuletide-related recordings is packed full of the smoothly performed, sentimental favorites associated as much with Cole himself as with the season. His version of "The Christmas Song," for example, is an unforgettable classic, while his rendition of "The Little Boy That Santa Claus Forgot" has a warmth that nods to tradition while avoiding cloying sentimentality. This collection includes both old-time religious favorites like "I Saw Three Ships" and "Away in a Manger" and more contemporary fare, like "Frosty the Snowman" and "All I Want For Christmas Is My Two Front Teeth." | |
