About

Capitol/UMe’s celebration of the great entertainer Nat King Cole’s centennial year, with the direct participation of his estate, will begin with the 15 March of two new compilations by Cole. On the same day, an expanded edition of Marvin Gaye’s tribute album to the storied singer will be available. All three releases are part of the array of special events, projects and programmes that will mark the 100th anniversary of Cole’s birth on 17 March 1919 in Montgomery, Alabama.

Ultimate Nat King Cole will be released on CD and digital formats, with a 2LP vinyl edition to follow on 14 June. The collection includes such signature hits as ‘Unforgettable,’ ‘Mona Lisa,’ ‘Straighten Up And Fly Right,’ ‘L-O-V-E,’ ‘The Very Thought Of You,’ ‘Stardust’ and ‘Nature Boy.’ – Udiscover
