While Peggy Lee performed “Unforgettable” on her radio show in 1952, the year Capitol labelmate Nat King Cole released his album of the same name, this 1967 interpretation from Something Special: Things Are Swingin’ was the first for a TV audience. Songwriter Irving Gordon studied violin as a child, so sharing the spotlight with a Stradivarius makes perfect sense.
