As a middle-aged Afro-American I truly enjoyed your coverage of the life & times of Nat “King” Cole. I never knew much about his career or his private life so I found this to be a wonderful piece.I always enjoyed his smooth style of singing and the way he always looked as if he stepped off a fashion runway.By the way, for the woman who thought Whoopie Goldberg was not telling the truth about how some white people envisioned blacks not bathing I must say it is very true!They thought we were dirty & ignorant until Individuals like Mr. Cole proved otherwise.Thanks for enlightenment all the way around!!

NAT WAS A FAMILY FRIEND OF MY MOM & STEPFATHER. THEY WERE TOGETHER ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS. NAT SANG HAPPY BIRHDAY TO MY MOM AT THE TROCADERO IN 1944, SHE’S STILL HERE WITH HER GREAT MEMORIES OF A GREAT MAN. I’M 56, AND I THINK NAT COLE WAS THE GREATEST AMERICAN SINGER, BAR NONE!

The Nat King Cole programs evoked some wonderful memories. He was one of my mother’s favorite artist and I still remembered watching his short-lived TV show. I appreciated the balance and the context – we can not shy away from our collective history. My parents used to talk about the NKC’s show inability to garner a sponsor and why. Mr Cole’s story recognizes the triumph of art (and artists) elevating us past our differences.
