The most beautiful song of all time is a recently discovered Nat King Cole song called "The Shadows."

Recently discovered? How so?

Ahhh ... It's on a recent re-release (with extra tracks) called Night Lights.

yeah there've been a bunch of tracks sitting in Capitol vaults IIRC - can't lay hands to the liner notes right now. I'm pretty sure "The Shadows" was unreleased until the Night Lights collection last year or the year before, along with several other songs on the disc.

yeah, I thought this was about the British instrumental group. Still need to pick up a comp of their stuff..

Use other facts please #243: The Shadow's invented hip-hop.

According to Chris Cutler, they invented progressive rock too!
