| comment #1: | info from eBay: " I Love You For Sentimental Reasons (Best/Watson) Nat Cole (vocal/piano); Oscar Moore (guitar); Johnny Miller (bass). 22nd August 1946. A sweet, slight ditty given resonance by Nat's distinctive textured voice. The song was written by 14-year-old William Best who later became an actor and member of the Brown Dots vocal group. Somewhere along the way Ink Spot Deek Watson got his name on the credits, though apparently had nothing to do with the song's composition. Best sold the rights in 1945 of the song for $2500, before the King Cole Trio had a number 1 hit with it in 1946 and it went on to be recorded by dozens of artists. Best's estate finally had the right of the song returned to them in 2000." |
