Fred Cole - On second thought (De-Lite, 1969)

Freddy Cole is of course Nat King Cole's brother and specialized in jazz vocals and piano. As of time of writing he is still performing world wide and claims to be able to play thousands of songs at will. In the late sixties and early seventies he hit on a specific soul sound very "beat ballad" in style and this record is his very best. It contains the definitive version of a brilliant song he recorded several times, which is the  title song "On second thought".
