"In the late 40s, there was a rumor that there was a "hermit," disenchanted and disillusioned with the world, supposedly "out-of-sync" with society, living in California in a cave under one of the L’s in the Hollywood sign. No one really cared about this strange man, until one night in 1947, when someone tried to enter backstage at the Lincoln Theater in Los Angeles. Nat King Cole was playing there, and the man said he had something for Cole. Of course, the employees didn't let the strange man see Cole, so he gave whatever he had with Cole's manager. What he had was a song sheet, which Cole would later take a look at. Cole liked the song and wanted to record it, but he had to find the strange man. When asked, the people who saw the man said he was strange, indeed, with shoulder-length hair and beard, wearing sandals and a white robe. Cole finally tracked him down in New York City.

Some of the story is in alt text, but I ran out of characters.

Famous for the song Nature Boy, which features in two versions here, Eden Ahbez is frequently cited as the world's first Hippie. This comp of 'Lost songs' is a cracker, the Eartha Kitt take on 'Hey Jaque' is fabulous and worth the entrance fee alone. #Fridayvinyl #NP #EdenAhbez
