Commemorating the 40th anniversary of Nat King Cole's death in 1965, this compilation is the CD companion of an excellent DVD/documentary. Produced with the blessing of his estate, this disc is a thorough survey of his timeless genius--all recorded on the Capitol label. It captures his sumptuous and soothing tenor voice crooning on the pop tunes he made famous, like the ethereal "Nature Boy," the melancholy "Mona Lisa," and the bouncy "Straighten Up and Fly Right," and "Route 66." It also features Cole's often-overlooked skills as an Earl Hines-style pianist. "Quizas, Quizas, Quizas (Perhaps, Perhaps, Perhaps)," and "Darling, Je Vous Aime Beaucoup," attest to his international appeal, and see if you can keep a dry eye when you listen to Natalie Cole's posthumous, digitally-enhanced duet with her father on "Unforgettable." From strings to big bands, Nat King Cole is never out of style. --Eugene Holley, Jr.

Penumbra artistic director Lou Bellamy directs the production, dramatically framed within Cole's landmark 1950's television series, which was airing weekly in American households prior to the signing of the Civil Rights Act. I Wish You Love will run through July 24.
Penumbra associate artistic director Dominic Taylor penned the play with music, which incorporates over 20 of Cole's hit songs, including "Get Your Kicks on Route 66" and "Let There Be Love." The musical recently concluded a well-received run at the Kennedy Center.
I Wish You Love captures a significant moment in the life of the legendary crooner. It’s 1957, and times are changing. President Eisenhower had the Civil Rights Act on his desk, Althea Gibson had won Wimbledon, nine children were about to integrate Little Rock Central High School in Arkansas, and Cole was the first black man that many in America let into their living room. Cole believed that with enough talent and persistence he would be judged on the content of his character as opposed to the color of his skin. Bellamy is the founder...
