Nat King Cole and The King Cole Trio song discography
Nat King Cole was a writer, singer, and piano player. He became famous as part of the jazz group The King Cole Trio. Here is the list of all his popular songs solo and in the trio. In 1946, The King Cole Trio recorded The Christmas Song (Merry Christmas To You). This became one of the top Christmas songs ever. He then sang some of the most popular pre-rock era standards, notably Nature Boy in 1948, Mona Lisa in 1950, and Unforgettable in 1951. Along the way, he became a star on television and in the movies.
In 1991, his daughter Natalie Cole made an album of duets with Nat King Cole recordings, and hit number 15 with Unforgettable.
Nat King Cole lived from 1919 to 1965, when he died of lung cancer.

How were these songs chosen? Of course, all top 20 songs from 1957 on were listed. Beyond that, most of the songs in Tunecaster were released and promoted as single records, which typically included two songs on two sides when Nat King Cole was popular. Usually, one side was promoted, and the other side tagged-along. However, Nat King Cole had many double-sided hits. In those cases, both songs are listed. Some of the songs on this page were not singles, but were popular on radio or television anyway.
How are these songs labeled? On this page, each song listed includes the artist name under the song title. If it is the exact label on the record, all words will be capitalized. In some cases, labels are shortened to include the important information. For example, the record My Flaming Heart was labeled as by "Nat King Cole and His Trio with Orchestra Conducted by Nelson Riddle." Tunecaster shortened this to "Nat King Cole And His Trio with Nelson Riddle Orchestra." Notice that the word with in the label here was not capitalized to indicate a shortened label.
How are these songs ordered? Songs are in chronological order of popularity, with those that did not have a clear moment of peak popularity listed at the end of each year in alphabetical order, particularly in 1949 when so many songs were released.
Most of the EXTRAS on this page are live video performances.
