Description

Nat King Cole


"I'm not playing for other musicians. We're trying to reach the guy who works all day and wants to spend a buck at night. We'll keep him happy."
– Nat King Cole


Nat King Cole, born on March 17, 1919 in Montgomery, AL, was a pianist and singer who led his own band, the popular King Cole Trio. Cole then began to receive billing as a solo artist. Hit singles like "The Christmas Song", "Mona Lisa", "Nature Boy" and "Send for Me" became American songbook classics, and in 1956 Cole was the first African-American host of a network variety show. He died on February 15, 1965.
