Thanks for that. I have just been introduced to Nat King Cole. Only now in my 60’s have I been able to slow down and absorb the performance of his voice and piano. Ella is sort of new to me as well. Only recently have I been able to really listen to her stylings, instead of thinking “Oh God! More Doctor’s Office or Lawrence Welk music!”
Charlie Chaplins lyrics in that song are fully soul stirring.
He knew exactly of what he wrote. I’ve read biographies about his tough early life.
