Nathaniel "Nat" Adderley (November 25, 1931 – January 2, 2000) was an American jazz cornet and trumpet player who played in the hard bop and soul jazz genres. He was the brother of saxophonist Julian "Cannonball" Adderley, whom he remained very close to in his career but whose shadow Nat followed in for most of his life.
Nat Adderly's "Work Song" is a jazz standard which also became a success on the pop charts after singer Oscar Brown, Jr. wrote lyrics for the tune.
Nat Adderley was born in Tampa, Florida, but moved to Tallahassee, Florida, when both parents were hired to teach at Florida A&M University. His father had played trumpet professionally in his younger years, and he initially passed down his trumpet to Cannonball. When Cannonball picked up the alto saxophone, he passed the trumpet on to Nat who began playing in 1946. He and Cannonball played with Ray Charles in the early 1940s in Tallahassee, among other amateur gigs they played around the area.
Nat ended up attending Florida University, majoring in sociology with a minor in music. He officially switched to cornet in 1950, and he never turned back. From 1951-1953, he enlisted in the army. He played in the army band under his brother during this time, taking at least one tour of Korea before returning to a station in the United States. Upon return, Nat attended Florida A&M with the hopes of becoming a teacher.

My romance doesn't have
To have a moon in the sky
My romance doesn't need
A blue lagoon standing by
No month of May
No twinkling stars
No hide away
No soft guitars
My romance doesn't need
A castle rising in Spain
Nor a dance to a constantly
Surprising refrain
Wide awake
I can make my most
Fantastic dreams come true
