EXTD=Originally Released 1957\nCD Released March 1987, June 18, 1991, 
EXTD=and July 23, 1996\n\nAMG EXPERT REVIEW: Just One Of Those Things 
EXTD=is a theme album comparable to one of Frank Sinatra's uptempo swi
EXTD=ng albums of the same period (Come Fly With Me, etc.), and employ
EXTD=ing the same arranger/conductor, Billy May. Cole is a bit less ef
EXTD=fective than Sinatra at uptempo material; he tends to undersing t
EXTD=hese sprightly standards, and May saves his dramatic horn charts 
EXTD=and percussion shots for moments when Cole is away from the micro
EXTD=phone. Even so, by the fifth track, "These Foolish Things Remind 
EXTD=Me Of You," May has retreated to ballad time, and though his embe
EXTD=llishments threaten to break out behind the singer, Cole gives an
EXTD= assured, unhurried performance. And that's the point: That Cole 
EXTD=has tamed the rambunctious May does not mean he doesn't give wond
EXTD=erful interpretations to some wonderful songs -- "Don't Get Aroun
EXTD=d Much Anymore," "Just One Of Those Things," "The Song Is Ended (
EXTD=But The Melody Lingers On)." And the light-handed swing supports 
EXTD=those efforts well. (Originally released in November 1957, Just O
EXTD=ne Of Those Things was reissued on CD in March 1987 under the tit
EXTD=le Just One Of Those Things (And More). The reissue contained thr
EXTD=ee bonus tracks previously released on the 1964 album Let's Face 
EXTD=The Music!, an album on which Billy May took a more aggressive po
EXTD=sture and, notably on "I'm Gonna Sit Right Down [And Write Myself
EXTD= A Letter]," included here, Cole matched him note for note.) -- W

EXTD=make a great combination, June 23, 2001\nReviewer: The Fancy One 
EXTD="blackprincess" (New York, NY)\nJUST ONE OF THOSE THINGS from 195
EXTD=7 kind of takes Nat away from the lush work of Nelson Riddle and 
EXTD=Gordon Jenkins (with whom he had the #1 LP LOVE IS THE THING out 
EXTD=the same year) and places him with Billy May, who used lots of br
EXTD=ass and horns in his arrangements. Upbeat and lively, and also su
EXTD=rprisingly tender and warm, Nat seems right at home with these pl
EXTD=ayful songs, with his amazing delivery and timing. Two of the mos
EXTD=t outstanding tunes on this LP has to be "These Foolish Things (R
EXTD=emind Me Of You)"...probably the best version of that song ever r
EXTD=ecorded, and "Don't Get Around Much Anymore". Nat's finesse with 
EXTD=the lyrics on these two songs are incomparable to anything we've 
EXTD=ever heard. \nThe AND MORE part of the CD includes three cuts fro
EXTD=m another Cole/May pairing from 1961, LET'S FACE THE MUSIC, and N
EXTD=at's rendition of "I'm Gonna Sit Right Down and Write Myself A Le
EXTD=tter" is a knock-out. But all around, JUST ONE OF THOSE THINGS (A
EXTD=ND MORE) delivers! Get it.\n\n\nAMAZON.COM CUSTOMER REVIEW\nCole 
EXTD=at his best!, July 8, 1998\nReviewer: A music fan\nIt was 1957 an
EXTD=d Capitol records had it all. Two of the top recording artists, N
EXTD=at "King" Cole and Frank Sinatra. "Just One of Those Things" was 
EXTD=released in December and peaked at number 18 on the charts. Had i
EXTD=t not been released during the run of "Love is the Thing" it migh
EXTD=t have reached greater heights, but it truly is Cole at his best.
EXTD= Although the recordings lack some of the spontaneity of his earl
EXTD=ier work, his professionalism and voice, more than make up for it
EXTD=. He was able to turn some average songs and bring them up to his
EXTD= level. In particular, "Once in a While" and "These Foolish Thing
EXTD=s Remind Me of You" are Cole at his introspective apex. 1957 was 
EXTD=quite a year and fortunately Cole's recordings remind us of a tal
EXTD=ent we will never have the pleasure of hearing again.
