- Nat “King” Cole was born in Montgomery, Alabama as Nathaniel Adams Coles (March 17, 1919 – February 15, 1965).
- His father was a preacher in the Baptist church. His family moved to Chicago, Illinois while he was still a child. There, his father became a minister; Nat’s mother Perlina, was the church organist.
- His first performance, at age four, was of “Yes, We Have No Bananas”.
- Nat Cole and three other musicians formed the “King Cole Swingers” in Long Beach, CA and played in a number of local bars before getting a gig on the Long Beach Pike for $90 per week.
- On November 5, 1956, The Nat King Cole Show debuted on NBC-TV. While commentators have often mistakenly hailed Cole as the first African-American to host a network television show — an honor belonging to jazz pianist and singer Hazel Scott in 1950 — the Cole program was the first of its kind hosted by a star of Nat Cole’s magnitude.
