Recorded at Capitol Recording Studio A in
Hollywood, California on Wednesday, July 6, 1960
I SAW THREE SHIPS--a close-to-the-heart carol among the sea-faring English, this song has been sung as long as men can remember, and is sung here by Nat and the full chorus, without orchestral backing.
I have updated pseudonyms for Nat King Cole, and refreshed his vinyl album discographies.
All collaborations and involvements now appear under his main listing: Nat "King" Cole, and there is already a link to to that page from this version of his name (without quotation marks).
