17 Great Nat King Cole Love Songs Full Of L-O-V-E

nat king cole love songs

Nat “King” Cole is one of the most beloved jazz musicians of all-time. His baritone voice exudes raw emotion in love songs that perfectly describe the love between a bride and groom. Cole’s music repertoire extends more than three decades from 1935 to 1965. However, his music still resonates today.

Nat “King” Cole was a pianist in the group King Cole Trio along with guitarist Oscar Moore double bassist Wesley Prince (members changed through time). In 1946, the group aired on the radio with the show “King Cole Trio Time”. However, in the mid to late ’40s, Cole strayed away from Jazz and began producing pop singles that appealed to the mainstream.

Below you will find 17 great Nat “King” Cole love songs that are perfect for weddings.
