Lewis and Pizzarelli
Straighten Up and Fly Right:
The Nat King Cole Tribute
featuring Ramsey Lewis and John Pizzarelli
Nat King Cole broke the pop barrier with his smoky, smooth vocals, stringing along a huge number of solid hits right after his first, “Straighten Up and Fly Right,” soared up the charts in 1943. As a vocalist, he was called “the best friend a song ever had,” but he was a jazz performer at heart.
