Career
The crooner who was quoted as saying; “I may be helping to bring harmony between people through my music” faced racism in a segregated America for much of his career however, similar to the character in one of his most popular songs ‘Nature Boy’ Nat King Cole was a gentleman who often brought a message of love to the world. Unfortunately the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award winner and Jazz Hall of Famer with the baritone voice who gave us classics like ‘Unforgettable’ and ‘Mona Lisa’ would succumb to lung cancer in Santa Monica on 16 February 1965 but he has maintained worldwide popularity ever since.

The Early Years

Nathaniel Adams Coles christened Nat “King” Cole by a Los Angeles club owner was born in Montgomery, Alabama, in 1919. A professional pianist by the time he was in high school Nat King Cole grew to be one of the most versatile singers of his era. Before the fame, he was a well respected hard-swinging jazz pianist and accomplished classical musician. In fact the gifted crooner and pianist revolutionized the big band and jazz genre by proving there was no need for a drummer in the jazz band The King Cole Trio that he led from 1937 to 1955. The transformation from his jive jazz style to pop balladry came in 1946, when “(I Love You) For Sentimental Reasons” became a big hit.
