Love Is the Thing
''Love Is the Thing'' is a 1957 album released by American jazz vocalist Nat King Cole. It is the first of four collaborations between Cole and influential arranger Gordon Jenkins. Launching the charting single "Stardust", which peaked at #79, the album reached #1 on Billboard's "Pop Albums" chart and tied at #1 on the UK Charts with the soundtrack for the 1956 film ''The King and I''.〔(Nat King Cole: Love Is the Thing ) The Official UK Charts Company.

==Overview==
In 1956, Cole came together with popular music arranger Jenkins to produce the first of the four collaborations that are described by critics as among the best of either artist.〔〔 American Jazz commenter Scott Yanow noted that the album "sticks exclusively" to the role Cole had established in 1950s popular opinion as a "superb ballad vocalist". While ''Love Is the Thing'' little reflects the jazz roots whence Cole emerged,〔 the singer's "restrained vocal approach" and the arranger's "unhurried string charts" combined to produce a romantic album of enduring popularity.〔
Cole's three further albums with Jenkins were ''The Very Thought of You'' (1958), ''Every Time I Feel the Spirit'' (1959), and ''Where Did Everyone Go?'' (1963).
