I am gobsmacked. I never thought Nat King Cole did a duet with Patti Page! And what a duet! A counterpoint of two amazing songs! What a moment! Praise Jesus hahaha!

The magic of Nat Cole was not only his mellow and pleasing vocals, rather his ability to sing and improvise a melody at the same time. Truly a 🎁 gift.

Love Nat King Cole forever and always. Such a class act and we mustn't forget his tremendous talent on the keys. I do have to say however that I think we perhaps never saw the full extent of Patti Page's vocal talent. She swings wonderfully here. The best selling female vocalist of the 1950s.

The pianist with Patti Page is Rocky Cole (Coluccio), a very talented pianist in his own right. His solo on Alvino Rey's 1946 "The Sheik of Araby" is awesome.

My great great uncle played with Nat King Cole: Willie Smith. His niece is my Aunt Simona Allen. My aunt had Willie over to their house in year? . I loved Nat King Cole BEFORE, I knew that was my great great uncle Willie. My favorite album of course is After Midnight. : Nate last as a combi of any kind. Nats the one. Remember he BUILT CAPITOL records with all those trip hits from the 40's. When he had Oscar Moore on guitar. Oscar was BAAAAD! Abner took over but he wasn't Oscar Moore. Nat was the winner of the Esquire awards many times on PIANO. I never met my GG uncle or Willie and I never met Nat, but they were doing it. Superstars. RIP Aunt Simona and Uncle Harvey. I Iove you!

Ever seen Ben Webster without his hat? That's the marvelous Illinois Jacquet playing that sweet improvisation of Blue Skies. Maybe his brother Robert on trumpet? I'm not certain. Absolutely not Ben Webster - who also had that big tenor sound...but a completely different approach to the instrument. Anyone know who the bass player is? That's Rocky Cole on the piano with Patti Page. Give a lot of credit to Patti Page and her producers. Putting jazz on teevee in the 1950s was a daring venture...not to mention blacks and whites together. We should remember that Nat King Cole, one of the best selling recording stars of all time, could not find a national sponsor for his television show. In any case...what a terrific romp. Too bad Gene Krupa was hidden behind the dancers.

It's an awesome clip. But it would be nice if the page owner corrected the description to include the names of the other great performers here: namely, Gene Krupa and Ben Webster in addition to Page and Cole. Also, as noted, it's a medley of more songs than what's been noted: "Blue Skies," "Lullaby of Birdland" and "Love Me or Leave Me."
