Artists like Perry Como and Nat “King” Cole don’t belong in our rock and roll time. They were great in their era but their songs don’t translate to ours. Horse hockey. In this song, Nat shows a flair for the beat and a more modern sensibility than a lot of the early rockers. Sure he’s signing before an orchestra, but its playing is good. And if you need more proof, look at the content: “King” Cole is singing about a booty call -- granted it’s couched in 50’s vocab like “caring” and “protection”, but we know what’s really going on.
Cutie booties!
