Artist Bio:
Nat King Cole was an American jazz pianist and vocalist born on March 17, 1919, in Montgomery, Alabama. He rose to fame in the 1940s and 1950s as a leading jazz pianist and became one of the most popular and influential vocalists of his time. Cole's smooth baritone voice and impeccable phrasing earned him numerous hit songs, including "Unforgettable," "Mona Lisa," and "When I Fall in Love."
In addition to his successful music career, Nat King Cole was a trailblazer as one of the first African-American performers to host a television variety show, "The Nat King Cole Show," in the 1950s. Despite facing racial discrimination and challenges, Cole broke down barriers and paved the way for future generations of black musicians. He passed away on February 15, 1965, but his legacy continues to live on through his timeless music and contributions to the entertainment industry.
