Nat King Cole - Don't Get Around Much Anymore Lyrics






(Lyrics by Bob Russel, Music by Duke Ellington)
This lyrics are like performed by Natalie Cole

Missed the Saturday dance
Heard they crowded the floor
Couldn't bear it without you
Don't get around much anymore

Thought I'd visit the club
Got as far as the door
They'd have asked me about you
Don't get around much anymore

Darling, I guess my mind's more at ease
But nevertheless, why stir up memories

Been invited on dates
Might have gone but what for
Awfully different without you
Don't get around much anymore

Nat King Cole Don't Get Around Much Anymore Comments
  1. N.... G....

    This makes me wanna play fallout new vegas 👌

  2. J.... B....

    Present-day artists should be made to watch Nat, Perry Como, etc. see singing without stupid cavorting all over the stage. I think they do it to cover up their lack of talent.

  3. j.... ....

    Love the way he sings this song and all of his music!

  4. R.... U....

    The vocal, the music... pure class.

  5. E.... R....

    I have this on the original album. It's Nat with The Billy May Orchestra. Album is entitled Just one of Those Things. 1955

  6. E.... R....

    My dad bought this album 1955. I still have it almost worn out. A LARGE influence in my Musical Career. No one could touch Nat's style and voice.

  7. c.... d....

    Nat 'King' Cole did a wonderful rendition, however, Sam Cooke's interpretation is definitely superior.

  8. E.... W....

    The best singer to sing this song

  9. J.... R....

    Sounds awesome. Thanks for posting. Nat had the most perfect sense of pitch I ever heard. IMHO He was never, ever "pitchy, dog"

  10. T.... ....

    Ink Spots version is better

  11. P.... ....

    That picture looks like it could've been taken yesterday.

  12. J.... H....

    And can we talk about that phenomenal Billy May arrangement?!

  13. F.... A....

    DID MORE THAN JUSTICE TO EVERY TUNE & LYRIC HE SANG!

  14. c.... c....

    The man is completely untouchable.
    He just masters a song. Mind Blown!

  15. A.... F....

    huh thats lifelol

  16. B.... B....

    Mr. Smooth cannot spoil a song

  17. j.... G....

    Unforgetable !!!

  18. C.... H....

    This is THE VOICE!

  19. S.... B....

    It doesn't get better than that.

  20. T.... S....

    great song

  21. S.... K....

    tight as fuck

  22. G.... D....

    This Is my vocation in life to be an anchorite summed up in one short song.  I have found my mate and here we dwell in excitement and a fascinating neighborhood.  You would think solitude would be unbearably boring, but not in this town.  I love it here and do not want to even stand on the threshold of the anchorhold.  I am a writer by trade and I am very poor - but I will not have to deal much with Mammon in Hell because I chose this.  Some more items and I won't need anything more than groceries.  So, who is my spouse?  The God of Abraham, I AM THAT I AM.  Jesus is a close friend; music about him I play all day, plus some particularly beautiful pop/rock/jazz/gospel/classical.  And I play "Fiddler on the Roof" and read the Torah.  Heaven!

  28. C.... M....

    THE VOICE BROUGHT ME HERE!!!!!

  29. j.... l....

    Não sei dizer muita coisa em inglês. Digo apena OUTSTANDING !

  30. W.... A....

    hubba hubba!! what a hunk. loved this version!

  31. P.... ....

    Wonderful wonderful song. Great remaster too! :)

  32. y.... ....

    This is the best version of this song.

  33. d.... ....

    Recite these lyrics nowadays and you will be pegged as CLINICALLY DEPRESSED. You will be BAKER ACTED + lose right to possess a gun + lose professional license + lose your children.

    d.... ....

    i got a gun, two kids, a car, a wife and a girlfriend, what you want?

    d.... ....

    And you're singing along to this great song! :)

  34. B.... M....

    Daniel..did you record that on chromatic harmonica, and if you did was it a 64 reed or the smaller 12 hole one? I have two Hohners...one of each...when playing Adler's style of The Continental, I use the big fella...more room to move. And if you were not using chromatic, what brand diatonic were you using then? Love the harmonicas but have been playing more guitar than most instruments lately...I try to dabble on keyboard and drums but would not try to make a living out of the latter instruments...hehe.

    B.... M....

    A lot of people ask me about, considering modern kettle brand salmon, which catch they should buy. The answer to me, as it should be to any monger extraordinaire, that

  35. B.... M....

    Actually the song last time I heard was written by Duke Ellington and Bob Russell. Billy May may have had his orchestra play it.. I think Nat's is the best version...nice and slow beat.

    B.... M....

    this is Nat with the Billy May Orchestra.

    B.... M....

    The arrangement is by Billy May. "Charts" are what are stuck in front of the musicians to play for a particular arrangement. It does not imply May wrote (composed) the original song.

  36. D.... R....

    I just recorded this on harmonica and guitar!! Please check it out on my channel and subscribe if you like. :)

  37. R.... H....

    hmmmm, harry connick is a good singer for sure,,but plz.,,,N.K.C. WAS LEGEND,,AN AMERICAN TREASURE,ABSOLUTELY NONE LIKE HIM,,EVER

  38. R.... H....

    none like him,never will be,,a true american treasure

  39. J.... E....

    Bill -   I am a big, big  Nat King Cole fan... Thank you

  40. l.... d....

    great ; love it

  41. J.... B....

    Why do I consider Nat King Cole to be the best of them all... here is one vital reason... he always respected his lyric writers... his enunciation was always perfect - you can clearly understand what he sings

    J.... B....

    John Bostock I love Nat Cole... but go fuck yourself, you smug talentless fucktard.

    J.... B....

    @Maafa 1619 - I know, what a clueless moron. Doesn't deserve to hear this music

  42. F.... F....

    FANTASTIC!!!!!!!!

  43. m.... ....

    WOOW!!!!

  44. l.... ....

    Jazz is best genre, every one else go home.

  45. k.... ....

    Nat just takes us to a different place and one can listen to his songs over and over again listen to "Pick Up Yourself" by Nat King Cole...this one is so worth listening to when the world is a mess and you need to take suggestions from this talented version on what to do..I do not think that you will be disappointed. Peace

  46. k.... ....

    SO cheers to you darling and keep maraching to your own beat and let your music play in your sleep and all through your life. I appreciate musicians and singers ( well trained and original). Stay original & there is nothing that you couldn't do w/ an instrument. Please upload your own music for all of us to listen to. I am sure you will be welcomed and celebrated. Cut a demo or whatever you gottta do, but let the rest of us share into your craft. Promise?

  47. k.... ....

    I am glad that you just love the art of music....so I encourage you ,lover, to jazz on..it rocks and we are losing the best or else the best are hidden from us...please never give up no matter what.musicians are special and you have a talent so difficult for even those who have "made it".

  48. k.... ....

    What a voice..I am so glad that my parent introduced me to such classics as a child in the early 1970s----this is music and true talent and that is why I just cannot buy into "american Idol" or the "X Factor" or folks who scream out the lyrics who refuse to embrace the melody& the notes & the lyrics. This is when music was respected by the artist and the artist gave it his or her best. We should never forget why these artist are unforgettable. Thank you sweet person for this upload. Blessings

  49. B.... P....

    THank you

  50. J.... B....

    SAM COOKE sings this song way better!

  53. S.... ....

    NAT KING COLE THE BEST SINGER !

  54. M.... ....

    Must agree -- he was the smoothest singer ever. Ray Charles was a close second.

  55. G.... C....

    Still Love You Eileen,,,,did we ever dance to this music

  56. c.... c....

    according to some, jazz came from ragtime... which came from mimicking marching bands!!! but I think with music, just like people, there's no such thing as immaculate conception, you've usually got a few parents ;-)

  57. R.... ....

    great! indeed!

  58. D.... ....

    I may be the bastard daughter of some of these great performers. I sing it as well, maybe better than all others. Have a listen by clicking my name in blue, and searching my channel for 'Don't Get Around Much Anymore'.
