Love Is The Thing / Where Did Everyone Go?

by Nat "King" Cole

Description by OLDIES.com:

1957's "Love Is the Thing" stands tall in the Cole album catalog; not only was it his first stereo recording, and his first collaboration with Gordon Jenkins, but this beautiful, romantic song cycle about falling in love went to #1 on the charts and stayed there for eight weeks! "Where Did Everyone Go?", meanwhile, was a far more downbeat affair, as it dealt with the effects of love gone wrong; here, Jenkins employs his trademark string arrangements to achieve an almost classical sound as counterpoint to Cole's straightforward, sincere vocals. Two flat-out great albums!
