Nat King Cole Sings Autumn Leaves.
I searched this evening for information about autumn leaves, and came upon this song. This is a song I remember hearing in my childhood, but had forgotten. Isn't the voice of Nat King Cole just wonderful...and so well suited to this piece. I like the video presentation here. I know this is a little sad, not quite the upbeat note I had been looking for this week, but it is so beautiful, I think.

I remember this from a movie with Cliff Robertson I watched, as a kid. Its a hauntingly beautiful song and NKC was an amazing performer. So sad his life was so short....
Hi, Geraldine,
Was the movie Charlie, by any chance?
I remember that movie.
Thanks for dropping in!

Oh Brenda, this was one of my favorite songs when I was younger. I even learned to play it on the piano for my dad. So lovely. Ann

Hi Brenda, Thanks for the compliment. I love hats!
The movie is called: Autumn Leaves: here's the Wiki page about it:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autumn_Leaves_(film)
it wasn't a "kid" movie, definitely one for adults but you know how it was...we watched anyways in those days, didn't we. LOL Didn't understand it all though. I think I'd like to see it again now. I think Cliff Robertson is so good looking and such a good actor.

Hey, Geraldine,
I didn't know about this movie, thanks!!!
The movie Charlie, was also an adult movie, based on a book called Algernon, I think. It is quite sad, and bitter-sweet, so thought the song COULD have been used in it.
Yes, Cliff Robertson is very handsome, and did an awesome job in this movie.
Do you remember it now?

Hi Brenda, I saw Charlie too, another great movie with Cliff Robertson. I found out he just passed on, Sept. 10, 11 when I was looking for the Autumn Leaves ref. page, over at Wiki. He was 88. A life well lived, I'd say.
