L-O-V-E (album)

L-O-V-E is the final studio album by the American singer Nat King Cole. It was arranged by Ralph Carmichael. L-O-V-E was Cole's last album, and was released shortly before his death in February 1965. The songs "The Girl from Ipanema", "My Kind of Girl" and "More (Theme From Mondo Cane)" were recorded December 1–3, 1964, shortly after Cole's diagnosis with lung cancer, and were the last recordings he made. The album peaked at #4 on the Billboard Albums chart in the spring of 1965.

The initial Billboard magazine review from January 30, 1965 commented that it was "One of the finest Nat Cole albums to date! He's in great form as he breathes new life into some fine standard material...The title tune is a Cole classic!".
