A jazz standard "Nature Boy", originally recorded by the great Nat King Cole in 1948, is the
vehicle for the velvet tones of Dara Tucker as her new
single which follows her album "Dara Starr Tucker". released in June. Apparently, she has released the song as her Christmas single.
The song was written by Eden Ahbez who was sued by Herman Yablokoff who
claimed that the first two melody lines were similar to a chorus of a
song he published in 1935 called "Shvayg Mayn Harts" ("Be Still My
Heart"). They settled out of court.
Many of us may perhaps know the song best via George Benson's more uptempo 1977
version. The song has been covered literally hundreds of times including
by Cole's daughter, Natalie, in 1990 and Central Line had their biggest
UK pop chart hit with it reaching #21 in 1983 which resulted in an
appearance on BBC's Top Of The Pops.
