Nature Boy was written by Eden Ahbez, one of the strangest songwriters of the pre-Hippie era. He was a beatnik poet, a proto-Hippie with long hair , a full beard, and routinely dressed in long, white, flowing garments. He lived in Griffith Park in Los Angeles, ate fruit, vegetables and nuts. Ahbez was born in Brooklyn died in 1908.

LYRICS:
"There was a boy
A very strange enchanted boy
They say he wandered very far, very far
Over land and sea
A little shy
And sad of eye
But very wise
Was he
And then one day
A magic day he passed my way
And while we spoke of many things, fools and kings
This he said to me
"The greatest thing
You'll ever learn
Is just to love
And be loved
In return"
(instrumental interlude)
"The greatest thing
You'll ever learn
Is just to love
And be loved
In return"
Hope you enjoy... -

- lots of emotions here. I'll be sure to give the kids an extra hug tonight.
It is also interesting to think about key figures of history and how their need for love (or admiration from the masses) or their lack of a need for love has shaped the world we see today. -

BTW I had a hard time accessing this. The screen kept saying that the Propeller server had "hit a potjole." More like tripping over its own feet and falling down the stairs, methinks. -

I've got two of his CD's - "The Very Thought of You" and "Just One of Those Things".

I had to replace the family LP's, as they were old and scratchy. I had heard them
for years but seldom took them out to play them for myself. More likely I pulled out the Beatles
or Cream or Sly Stone - but then all these years later I found I missed them - timeless! -
