The daughter of Nat King Cole, Cole rose to musical success in the mid-1970s as a R&B artist with the hits This Will Be, Inseparable and Our Love. After a period of failing sales and performances due to a heavy drug addiction, Cole reemerged as a pop artist with the 1987 album, Everlasting, and her cover of Bruce Springsteens Pink Cadillac. In the 1990s, she re-recorded standards by her father, resulting in her biggest success, Unforgettable... with Love, which sold over seven million copies and also won Cole numerous Grammy Awards. She has sold over 30 million records worldwide. (I Love You) for Sentimental Reasons is a popular song written by Ivory Deek Watson & William Pat Best, the latter being a founding member of The Four Tunes. The credits and the publishing (Leeds Publishing Co.) correctly list Deek Watson, former founding member of The Ink Spots, as a co-writer. Oddly, Best later stated that Watson had nothing to do with the creation of the song. But Watson maintains, in his late 60s autobiography that he and Best wrote the song together, lyrics and music respectively. Best was a member of Watsons group, The Brown Dots (the song originally was released by Watsons quartet with Joe King as lead vocalist). The song was published in 1945. The biggest-selling version by Nat King Cole was released by Capitol Records as catalog number 304. It first reached the Billboard Best Seller chart on November 22, 1946, and lasted 12 weeks on the chart, peaking at number one. The Brown Dots were initially formed in late 1944, when second tenor Ivory Deek Watson (b. 18 July 1909, Mounds, Illinois - d. 4 November 1969, Washington, DC) left the Ink Spots. He immediately put together a competing Ink Spots group consisting of lead tenor Joe King, bass Jimmy Gordon, and an unknown baritone. By late January 1945, a lawsuit brought by the Ink Spots caused Deek Watson to claim that he would form a new group based on a completely new idea. This new idea was simply to change their name to the Brown Dots and to sound as much like the Ink Spots as possible (although the Brown Dots employed more extensive harmonies). At this time, the unknown baritone left, to be replaced by baritone/guitarist William Pat Best. Tenderly is a popular song published in 1946 with music by Walter Gross and lyrics by Jack Lawrence. Copyright 1946 by Edwin H. Morris & Company, Inc. Originally written in the key of Eb as a waltz in 3/4 time, it has since been performed in 4/4 and has subsequently become a popular jazz standard. Early recordings were by Sarah Vaughan, who recorded the song in 1946 and had a US pop hit with it in 1947; and the Brazilian crooner and pianist Dick Farney (Farnésio Dutra e Silva) who recorded the song in 1947.Since then, Tenderly has been recorded by many artists, but perhaps the best-known version was by Rosemary Clooney. Clooneys recorded version reached only #17 on the Billboard magazine pop charts in early 1952, but it is more popular than the chart data would suggest, as is evidenced by the fact that Tenderly served as the theme song for Clooneys 1956-1957 TV variety show. The song featured in the 1953 film Torch Song. Walter Gross (14/7/1909 – 27/11/1967) is best known for having composed the music for the popular 1946 song Tenderly. In addition to composing dozens of other titles, he was also a pianist, arranger, orchestra leader, and record industry executive. Jack Lawrence (7/4/1912–16/3/2009) was an American songwriter. He was inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame in 1975. youtu.be/4pRA6I9sScs
