A ‘Thoughtful’ Fantastic Foursome

Feb 4, 12:12am Geezer Music Club

Something a little different on today's Fantastic Foursome. I'm still giving you four different versions of a song and asking for you to vote for your favorite, but I'll tell you right up front that I'll be voting for Nat King Cole.
