 The result, "The Magic of Christmas", was released for the 1960 festive season, by which time Capitol had already set Carmichael to work with Cole on more secular albums.Carmichael duly became Cole's most regularly utilized arranger from then until the singer's death in early 1965, their first mainstream pop collaboration being "The Touch of Your Lips" (also 1960), an album of romantic ballads backed by lush strings, and their final team-up being Cole's last album, "L-O-V-E", with jazzy big band arrangements, recorded in December 1964, only two months before Cole succumbed to the lung cancer which was already in its advanced stages.Carmichael wrote arrangements for many other top performers, including Ella Fitzgerald, Bing Crosby, Jack Jones, Peggy Lee, Julie London, Al Martino and Roger Williams.
