Cultural Facts:

1. Arrangement Lore: Billy May arranged the album with bright brass, swinging rhythms, and a much more energetic big-band sound than the lush ballads usually associated with Cole.
2. Personal Struggle: In 1956, white supremacists attacked Cole onstage during a concert in Birmingham, Alabama, injuring him and forcing the show to stop.
3. Career Range: Cole had first become famous as a groundbreaking jazz pianist before his singing career took over, making albums like this a meeting point between his jazz roots and his later pop stardom
