Nathaniel Adams Coles (March 17, 1919 –
February 15, 1965), known professionally as Nat King Cole, was an American
singer and jazz pianist. He
recorded over 100 songs that became hits on the pop charts. His trio was the
model for small jazz ensembles that followed. Cole also
acted in films and on television and performed on Broadway.
He was the first African-American man to host an American television series. He was the father of
singer-songwriter Natalie Cole (1950–2015).
The Magic of Christmas is a 1960 album by Nat King Cole,
arranged and conducted by Ralph
Carmichael.
This was Cole's only complete album of Christmas songs,
although he had recorded several holiday singles earlier in his career. One of
these, "The
Christmas Song", originally recorded in
1946, was re-recorded for the 1961 album The
Nat King Cole Story. In 1963 The Magic of
Christmas was reissued under the title The Christmas Song, with that
recording added to the track list in place of "God Rest Ye Merry
Gentlemen", and with new cover art.
It is the best-selling Christmas album
released in the 1960s, and was certified by the RIAA for
shipments of 6 million copies in the U.S. The 1963 version reached number 1 on Billboard's
Christmas Albums chart and remained for two weeks.
Deck The Halls
Deck the halls with boughs of holly,
Fa
la la la la, la la la la.
Tis the season to be jolly
Fa
la la la la, la la la la.
Don
we now our gay apparel,
Fa
la la, la la la, la la la.
Troll
the ancient Yule tide carol,
Fa
la la la la, la la la la.
See
the blazing Yule before us,
Fa
la la la la, la la la la.
Strike the harp and join the chorus.
Fa
la la la la, la la la la.
Follow
me in merry measure,
Fa
la la la la, la la la la.
While
I tell of Yule tide treasure,
Fa
la la la la, la la la la.
