Nature Boy was composed by Eden Ahbez in 1947. Since Nat King Cole recorded the song the following year, countless performers have sung it. No wonder, it's a short song of such philosophical, at times quizzical themes, as to make it a wonder at the same time. It's unique and lovely!
John Leguizamo's magical rendition of this song at the opening of the film "Moulin Rouge" (above) was one inspiration of mine.
Another inspiration was this very simple, very tender song by the wonderful duo of Jack Conte and Nataly Dawn, who make up PomplamooseMusic:
