Cole Calls From Capitol
By now, Hendricks' arrangements had developed a recognisable style all of their own, typically featuring short-bowed strings, set over a gently R & B-inspired beat and bassline. Nat King Cole had already recorded some Hendricks co-compositions such as Nothing In The World and the hit Looking Back in the late 1950s, and when he and his producers at Capitol Records decided to record a brand new country and western song, Ramblin' Rose, in 1962, the Belford Hendricks sound fitted their requirements perfectly. The result was a worldwide smash hit and Hendricks was asked to submit arrangements for a full album in a similar country and western vein, also entitled Ramblin' Rose. When that brought more success, Hendricks arranged a follow-up Cole-meets-Country album, Dear Lonely Hearts, whose title track became another singles chart hit.

“Meanwhile, if the fear of falling into error sets up a mistrust of Science, which in the absence of such scruples gets on with the work itself, and actually cognizes something, it is hard to see why we should not turn round and mistrust this very mistrust.... What calls itself fear of error reveals itself rather as fear of the truth.”
