Cole, Nat "King," 1919–65, American musician and composer, b. Montgomery, Ala., as Nathaniel Adams Coles. A jazz pianist, he played Los Angeles nightclubs and in 1938 formed the original King Cole Trio. Later he turned to singing and became internationally popular for his smooth, velvety voice and broodingly romantic hits, such as "Unforgettable" and "Mona Lisa." He was one of the first African-American artists to star in a radio show (1948–49), and in 1956 he became the first African American to host a network television show. His daughter Natalie (Maria) Cole, 1950–, b. Los Angeles, is also a popular singer. BibliographySee biography by D. M. Epstein (1999). How to thank TFD for its existence?
