If I Could Read It, I Could

When I First Organized The King Cole Trio Back In 1937, We Were Strictly What You Would Call An Instrumental Group. To Break The Monotony, I Would Sing A Few Songs Here And There Between The Playing. I Sang Things I Had Known Over The Years. I Wasn't Trying To Give It Any Special Treatment, Just Singing. I Noticed Thereafter People Started Requesting More Singing, And It Was Just One Of Those Things.

Primarily I'm A Meat Man, Although Once In A While I Toy With A Few Vegetables.

The People Who Know Nothing About Music Are The Ones Always Talking About It.

I'm An Interpreter Of Stories. When I Perform It's Like Sitting Down At My Piano And Telling Fairy Stories.

Although It's Been Said Many Times, Many Ways...merry Christmas To You!
