Music Review: Nat King Cole: The Christmas Song

N one sings "The Christmas Song" better than Nat King Cole.  It is just pleasing to listen to.  There are two version, one with his daughter Natalie Cole and the other single.  "Away in a Manger" is done with such reverence and humility it is one of my favorite.  A choir takes over the second verse, but aCole sings the first and third.  While in a contrary vein, but also works is the upbeat version of "God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen."  "I Saw Three Ships" is also very nice.
