Just in time for Summer 2008 Collector’s Choice released a 45th anniversary CD edition of Those Lazy-Hazy-Crazy Days Of Summer—the 1963 Capitol Records album from American music icon Nat King Cole. In some ways, for postwar American youth the summer of 1963 was truly the last summer of innocence and no top ten pop hit better typified that glorious summer of ‘63 then Cole’s song classic “Those Lazy-Hazy-Crazy Days Of Summer.” Although Cole was already established as both a world class jazz singer and pianist, he jumped onto the Top 40 with his ‘62 smash “Ramblin’ Rose” following up in ‘63 with “Those Lazy-Hazy-Crazy Days Of Summer,” his biggest pop hit ever. The summer theme of “Those Lazy-Hazy-Crazy Days Of Summer” was further explored by other songs on the album including “In The Good Old Summertime” and more while the CD liner notes sheds further light on Cole’s brilliant summer in the sun. www.ccmusic.com
