Straighten Up And Fly Right by Irving Mills 4-Part - Digital Sheet Music

By Nat "King" Cole

TYPE JOHN FRIES IN THE SEARCH BAR TO SEE ALL 60 ARRANGEMENTS I HAVE DONE. Thanks, John. "Straighten Up and Fly Right" is a 1943 song written by Nat King Cole and Irving Mills and one of the first vocal hits for the King Cole Trio. It was the trio's most popular single, reaching number one on the Harlem Hit Parade for ten nonconsecutive weeks. The song was based on a black folk tale that Cole's father had used as a theme for one of his sermons. In the tale, a buzzard takes different animals for a joy ride. When he gets hungry, he throws them off on a dive and eats them for dinner. A monkey who had observed this trick goes for a ride; he wraps his tail around the buzzard's neck and gives the buzzard a big surprise by nearly choking him to death.
