Now there was a jazz piano player with style. Underestimated though because of his singing He was also a beautiful singer of the ballads of his time, with a voice that could have been poured out of a bottle of very old Scotch. You don't hear of him now of course. Singers, in the main, are now mostly about tearing their vocal chords to shreds to produce the loudest or the highest sound. I have a feeling, based on absolutely nothing, that Elton John learned a bit from Nat King Cole.
