That's precisely the reason he didn't sing more. Didn't want to be seen as an imitator. Ray Charles had the same issue early on in his career, but he worked hard to change that.
Correction, Oscar Peterson, when he sang, did sound remarkably like Nat King Cole. This has been noted publicly by others many years ago. Oscar readily admitted that his voice had a similar sound to Nat King Cole.

Oscar and Nat had a Gentleman‘s agreement.it was “Oscar plays the piano,and Nat sings the song.” because their singing voice was very resembles!

Excuse me, but that is Nat King Cole playing the piano and singing. There is a bunch of lies here.

Nope, it's Oscar. *Apparently,* Oscar and Nat had some sort of deal that Oscar just play piano because they sounded too much alike.
