The late, great Billy Preston, (born September 9, 1946) at age 11 years and 2 months, performs the Fats Domino hit "Blueberry Hill" with Mr. Nat "King" Cole on Nat's TV program, (Season 3, Episode 8), broadcast November 5th, 1957. Includes a comment from 2003 by Nat's daughter, Ms. Natalie Cole. Available on a DVD from Amazon.com titled: "When I Fall in Love: The One and Only Nat 'King' Cole" containing twenty full-length performances from The Nat 'King' Cole Show and interviews with Nat's wife Maria, his three daughters Natalie, Casey and Timolin, his brother Freddy, and with Bob Henry, the producer/director of the original series. Narration by Dennis Haysbert. "Blueberry Hill", published in 1940, features music written by Vincent Rose with lyrics by Al Lewis and Larry Stock. Originally recorded in 1941 by Gene Autry for the movie "The Singing Hill", it was also covered by Glenn Miller & His Orchestra that same year, (with the vocal performed by Ray Eberle). When Fats Domino recorded it in 1956, it became an international hit.

MY GOD!!! I thought I'd seen EVERYTHING that NKC had done--I thought I had seen the "whole set" of his programs...but I missed that! That's just AMAZING!!! NKC is still "too cool for school...the smoothest guy in the room."
