With Respect to Nat is a 1965 studio album by jazz pianist Oscar Peterson, recorded in tribute to Nat King Cole, who had died earlier that year. Peterson sings on all tracks except "Easy Listening Blues". With Respect to Nat is the second album to feature Peterson singing, following Romance: The Vocal Styling Of Oscar Peterson, from 1954. A third, The Personal Touch was released in 1980. Reception Writing for AllMusic, critic Scott Yanow wrote "Peterson, who rarely ever sang, is very effective on the well-rounded program, whether being backed by a big band (arranged by Manny Albam) on half of the selections or re-creating both the spirit of the Nat King Cole Trio and his own group of the late '50s during a reunion with guitarist Herb Ellis and bassist Ray Brown."
