    He is legendary as a singer and musician and he died way too early from lung cancer at the age of 45 in 1965. His daughter Natalie Cole was a huge singer in the 80’s thru the 2000’s and did a famous duet split screen version of Unforgettable with a video of her dad. It’s a great video. Unfortunately. She passed away in December 2015. They both had the most beautiful voices. Glad that you reacted to him.

    My dad loved the King. He initially ran his office out of our house, and I can remember falling asleep to the sound of Nat King Cole on his stack of records. Dad was an architect, and he said he did his best work listening to this man's voice. All I know is that nearly 70 years later, I only need to hear 2 or 3 seconds of his voice to be sent back to that perfect world, where everyone was safe, protected, and loved. One of his best is "I Wish You Love." "I wish you bluebirds in the spring, to give your heart a song to sing..." Check it out!

      There weren't as many "racial barriers" in the 40's and 50's as today's racists would have you think.
      There was a lot of hatred and prejudice to be sure, but there's always going to be ignorance, no matter what.
      The anti-black mind-set in the 50's doesn't compare with the anti-white attitudes of today.

    Johnny Mathis - "Chances Are", "Wonderful, Wonderful"
    Andy Williams - "Moon River", "Born Free" "Happy Heart"
    Mel Tormè - "Blue Moon", "A Nightingale Sang in Berkley Square"
    Dean Martin - "Volare"' "Everybody Loves Somebody" "That's Amoré" "Memories are made of This"
    Bobby Darin - "Dream Lover" "Beyond the Sea"

    The duet that his daughter Natalie Cole put together so she could sing this song with her dad after he had passed away, is just fantastic. She definitely has some of her Daddys style and soul, great voice in her own right. She was only 15 when he died, so did the duet as a tribute on a release of standards on an album later in her career.

    You should move from crooners to jazz singers:

    Billie Holiday - Strange Fruit
    Billie Holiday - God Bless This Child
    Bessie Smith - Down Hearted Blues
    Etta Jones - Yes Sir, That's My Baby
    Nina Simone - I want a Little Sugar in my Bowl
    That should get you rolling.

    Glad you liked Nat King Cole. Check out his "Mona Lisa", "Nature Boy", "When I Fall in Love", etc., too. Needless to say, his "Christmas Song" (Chestnuts roasting on an open fire...) is a holiday classic.
    Besides his musical career, Nat also appeared in several films. He appeared as a lounge singer in The Blue Gardenia and has a more dramatic role as a French Foreign Legion mercenary in China Gate.
    If you haven't already sampled Sammy Davis Jr. you should. One of the most talented performers of the second half of the Twentieth Century...singer, tap dancer, actor, amazing impersonator, the whole nine yards. He was a member of the infamous Rat Pack, along with Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin and a host of others.

      Originally, Nat Cole fronted a jazz group called The King Cole Trio and wasn't a singer at all. They had booked a gig where a singer was required. Cole said "we don't have a singer" He tried it himself, and the rest is history. He was a fabulous jazz pianist, but fate had a different plan.
