Fascination with Nat "King" Cole

What a voice! It's been nearly 25 years since I heard this tune - and I can remember being a teen again listening to the amazing "Autumn Leaves" and smiling through "walking my baby back home". Such a velvety voice which you can wrap yourself in - they don't make singers like this anymore...
God bless iTunes! Tried looking in the local stores for his albums but couldn't find anything. The "free" stuff online just didnt have the clarity - and then I checked iTunes ad the sound is superb! Picked up 7 favorites and have them on replay the last two days.
Tracked down more stuff from the others but I'm really looking for some great Bing .. or anything else similar to the great number he did with Sinatra in high Society.
