So, I'm going through most of Nat King Cole songs and fell in love with "I Love You For Sentimental Reasons". Nat King Cole is the definition of Popular Singers and Popular Songwriting with the same use in the song "I Love You For Sentimental Reasons", he use in the other songs to get listeners to fell in love, and his music is timeless because love is an ongoing topic in music.

For, Nat King Cole it was always about the music and making people feel the music and that is what I love about
