Nat King Cole And Me

Gregory Porter Gregory Porter indulges his passion for Cole and dives deep into the songbook of an all-time great and his personal hero.

The Californian has often spoken of an absent father, but the music of Cole has wielded a profound alternative influence.

Porter’s long-held affection for the songs shines through, with warm-hearted takes on Mona Lisa, Smile and Nature Boy.

Backed by a symphony orchestra, Porter holds nothing back.

A real labour of love, destined to tug at hearts this autumn.
