Hi Stevieboy, I would imagine Charles Brown would have done this tune. I can hear his voice doing it. Maybe because Nat Cole did it so well and their voices are similar. We'll...

Very nicely done - made me smile. I envy the vibrato. My throat troubles of the past few years killed my vibrato, which is why I use my hands instead and more than I otherwise...

Hi Kim, You are welcome. Oscar Moore was killer! and his brother Johnny Moore was also. Johnny played with Charles Brown and was more bluesy. Duke
