Happy Christmas Eve to all Jazz Coffee Lovers ! 🎶Coffee~Break~Song🎶~Join us╰▶Jazz Coffee💕 (I Love You) for Sentimental Reasons~Nat King Cole (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. youtu.be/41s8-zxdQO0
