Nat King Cole?...He was one of the best...Sinatra and the others I listed were my choices because they dominated their eras based on sales, longevity on top and their “chops” in my ear. I wouldn't question anyone's taste in preferring Como, Laine, Cole etc. over my preference for Sinatra. And then there is the aspect of certain artists “owning” certain songs.

I have a “dry” (before the added reverb for the commercial release) master tape copy of “Love is the Thing” that includes “Stardust” with additional studio chatter before Nat’s performance.

Unbelievable sound quality...with Nat’s voice “right there” in the room with me!

NKC had an extraordinary vocal quality/timbre.
