Abbey Lincoln "Nature Boy" (1995) video

From her 1995 album "A Turtle's Dream" Abbey Lincoln (born Anna Marie Wooldridge in Chicago, Illinois, (August 6, 1930 -- August 14, 2010) Abbey Lincoln is one of the last great jazz singers, as well as one of the music's most gifted songwriters. Since signing with Verve in 1989, she has enjoyed a tremendous creative flowering as a poet, songwriter, painter, actress, and singer. There's no other jazz vocalist today who commands her authority of expression. "Nature Boy" is a song by eden ahbez, published in 1947. The song tells a fantasy of a "strange enchanted boy... who wandered very far" only to learn that "the greatest thing... was just to love and be loved in return". Nat Cole's 1948 recording of the song was a major hit, and "Nature Boy" has since become a pop and jazz standard, with dozens of major artists interpreting the song.
