Georgy Porgy. - Nat King Cole. -Mona Lisa (1950).
You’ve found me my ‘Mr Wonderful’ musically speaking, of course. The King 👑 of Smooth....
I was swept away with the emotion and passion in his silky smooth voice. He’s a joy to listen to.
Both he and his daughter, Natalie have sadly gone but they’ve left behind beautiful music that will never drift away because he serenaded you with Romantic music but with passion from his soul. A rare thing nowadays....
Mona Lisa’ is a beautifully worded song with true meaning of Love 💖 and romance with emotion in it.
I enjoyed your video photography too. A lovely way to travel back in time. Well Done 👍, Georgy. ✳️

This doesn't sound like 1950. The sound quality is too good, this sounds like it was recorded in the 60s. Does anyone have the original album version?
