Johnny Mathis~Live~Tribute to Nat King Cole~ Cole Trio Medley & Stardust
This is the third in a series of four videos honoring Johnny's upcoming special birthday on September 30th, from his Tribute to Nat King Cole, 1983, UK. In between the pieces, Johnny offers a perspective into Cole's development from jazz pianist to ballad singer, and describes the marriage of the beautiful composition of the song "Stardust" with Cole's unique gifts as a singer, as an "Irresistible combination". I am sure I am not alone in appreciating the 'irresistible essence' Johnny brings to this whole Cole special via his impeccable reverence to Cole's original arrangements, shared with the same level of perfection and dedication he describes Cole bringing to his music and work.
Timing is everything 'they say'. Please check the link below sharing news of the Nat King Cole (Generation Hope) Foundation's honoring of Johnny on November 20th, Boca Raton FL, by Nat's twin daughters, Timolin and Casey Cole, at the 'Stardust Affair" (..... how appropriate!). Johnny will receive the "Nat King Cole Lifetime Achievement Award of Unforgettable Music." To quote :
"Johnny Mathis, for more than 50 years, has been one of the most celebrated singers in the world, and we are thrilled to recognize this wonderful man with the Nat King Cole Lifetime Achievement Award for Unforgettable Music," said Timolin Cole. "By raising funds for music education, perhaps we will help inspire a future Johnny Mathis or Nat King Cole." While ardent and new fans celebrate Johnny's 'other worldly' voice, gifts of expression, style and gentle self, it's wonderful and so fitting for him to receive another such honor - and from an organization embodying the spirit of a man whose music meant to so much to him as a developing artist. (The foundation was founded in 2008.) http://www.sys-con.com/node/1532377
What a wonderful tribute - and in Johnny's 75th year! I think this clearly fits the category of 'Kismet'. I love what Tavis Smiley said in his interview of Johnny two years ago- or so- around the release of "Night to Remember" ........ "And we are very fortunate to live in the time of one, Johnny Mathis, a legend in his own time."
Please enjoy these two pieces: first, a medley from the Cole Trio (you'll have to listen to know which ones.....), and "Stardust", one of the most defining songs of Cole's legacy. Kick back - (not too far- for these first numbers may inspire you to get up and 'swing'!). And then get ready to 'melt' as "Stardust" touches your heart.
