Re: Nature Boy

[Leopold N Friedman <apikoyros...>]

George,
Both your brother and I are glad that you brought up 
the unforgettable Nat "King" Cole. I've been told by
reliable sources that a song he was successful with, 
"Nature Boy," had its origins in Yiddish music. I wasn't 
given additional details.  The notes on my copy credit 
Eden Ahbez for the song. Can you (or anyone else)
provide more information?
