Saw a documentary on Netflix about him, which was really impressive. He was treated appallingly by the people in the neighborhood where he bought a house. Love his voice and his music, especially in the wee hours at night.
Why, because he was black? This man was a gentleman, a musical prodigy someone to admire and yo look-up to. I'd be honored havingv had a neighbor such as that!
One of the most beautiful voices that ever was. I discovered him when I was a child, somewhat by accident, when I picked one of his albums out of my grandparents’ record collection and played it. I was instantly mesmerized by his voice and smooth style. I was about seven or eight years old and I’m still a fan in my fifties.
Nat King Cole was the ultimate singer and musician and what a classy man!! ❤️Until this day there is no one like Mr. Cole!!! I am fortunate that my Croatian father and my Brazilian mother were in love with his music and I was able to grow up listing to Mr. Cole in Spanish and English in my house!! Moments that I will cherish forever!!! 😍😍😍
So many favorites, answer me my love, somewhere along the way, love letters, and so many more! Nat king Cole gone too soon but his beautiful songs live on 🎶🎼♥️
An interesting fact about Nat King Cole was that he recorded an album of Spanish songs. However he did not speak a word of Spanish and had the lyrics transcribed phonetically. The result was pretty good except for the heavy english accent.
Cole vowed that if he recovered, he would go on television to urge people to stop smoking. On January 25, Cole's entire left lung was surgically removed.
As good as this brief video is it can only scratch the surface of his amazing life and talent. Or more find the documentary, “afraid of the dark“ that has a lot more about him. This doesn’t touch on his film career. He acted in a few movies as well including his last performance in the Jane Fonda movie, Cat Balloo
He and Mel Torme were doing a gig together down South and someone in the audience started racist comments. Nat said to Mel, " let's get this guy after the show and teach him a lesson ". Little Mel said "Sure". They couldn't find the guy. I think Nat had his cancer then and didn't care about danger.
Always loved his music. I grew up in the late 40's and thru the 50's and watched him on TV and always like him. Funny. as a typical white kid I never even thought about his race. always the man and his talent. admired him for that and not who or what his race was. ECF
What a guy, courageous and talented, not Many would have had his guts, he was a Musician and not a uncle tom for Black Rights. No one had the right to demand from him more than normals folks did, just because he was known. Funny he die of cancer but rarely see him with a cigarette?
of course it would be met with challenges, he had to deal with racists. how he refused to let it get him down says a lot about the man. civil rights were and continue to be something to fight for.
Cole te admiro, não conhecia a história agora admiro mais,ele passou muita raiva na vida dele isso leva a pessoa se desapontado cada vez mais e o pior, é que não mereceu,... ah meu pai tbm adorava esse vício eu tbm.. acho que tenho muito em comum pensando sobre isso, mas tenho medo d+, é incrível que pessoas admiráveis é mais fácil de morrer disso...

Heck we and probably most countries around the world were and are terrible to coloured people but America was beyond terrible. People what the ek are you doing we are all just humans.would you treat a black animal different to an animal of any other .
What's your favorite Nat King Cole song?
But beautiful
Out of an orange colored skyyyyy
Unforgettable
Falling Leaves, Love is a many splendored thing and An Affair to Remember and many others. Ok, all of them. God bless him.
Unforgettable
One of the most talented singers of all time and one of the finest humans with nothing but class and kindness towards all❤
The man had a voice of pure Gold. Chest nuts roasting on a open fire 🔥 is my favorite during Christmas.
OMG!!! Christmas is not quite Christmas for me if I can’t listen to that beautiful song sang by him of course!

Nat king Cole was so handsome and had a beautiful voice! My daughter started playing the piano at 4 years old too. R.I. P.
Shame on those people that judge this man he's got to be one of the classiest singer I know

The Christmas Song. Best Christmas song ever.
Mel Torme wrote it and gave it to Mr. Cole to record first.
Mr. Cole did a lot for the Civil Rights movement. By performing for all white audiences, he dispelled many stereotypes.
Yet he was pulled off stage and beaten for sounding too white while looking too black
A legend. Music Lives forever. Have seen his beautiful house in Hancock Parl.. Racism is madness then and now .
So many favorites, answer me my love, somewhere along the way, love letters, and so many more! Nat king Cole gone too soon but his beautiful songs live on 🎶🎼♥️
Iove his songs like rambling rose or when I fall in love dear loney hearts
I watched Nat King Cole's show when I was a kid. I LOVED his music! I still do!
An interesting fact about Nat King Cole was that he recorded an album of Spanish songs. However he did not speak a word of Spanish and had the lyrics transcribed phonetically. The result was pretty good except for the heavy english accent.
If I'm correct, I believe he recorded 2 albums in Spanish.
Listened to him and loved him playing piano and then when he started to singyou were amased to hear the tone of his voice great rip
Wonderful human as much as an excellent singer and lyricist. Kudos to his parents who brought him up so well! God bless Nat's soul in eternity!!
I honestly 1st heard him in Fallout 4 Diamond City Radio, Orange Colored Sky...His daughter was real cool and talented as well
you probably heard him without realizing it. he sung the most famous version of "chestnuts roasting on an open fire."
Unforgettable voice
Unforgettable
Chestnuts on an open fire
Embraceable you
Love
Are all my favorite songs
Greatest Christmas 🎄 albums ever just a great voice 👍
I liked the honesty and truth about all in this video. Man he was a talent yep he was.
RIP NAT KING COLE I REMEMBER MY MOMS & POPS TOLD ME ABOUT HIM
Nat king Cole had a golden voice that I loved too hear mostly all the time

He had a white mistress too. He was estranged from his wife at the time of his death, living with his mistress, the actress Gunilla Hutton.

Nice to know, about the person Nat King Cole. I thought the person was an European King, from the desert. 😮
A great ⭐️
Do louis Armstrong and Eartha Kitt
My favorite song is route 66👍👍👍👍

So refreshing to learn about his non-wokeness. He was a true artist and talent. Love him when he sings MERRY CHRISTMAS TO YOU...."
of course it would be met with challenges, he had to deal with racists.
how he refused to let it get him down says a lot about the man. civil rights were and continue to be something to fight for.
Natalie was his twin. May they both rest🌹🌷🌹🌷
@feliciajenkins5041 ...Natalie Maria Cole looked like her mother and father.

Ashleysayso explains this topic a bit better!
How does it go from premeditated murder to premeditated misdemeanor?
It was in Alabama.
@@charmerci thank you
He passed away at the age of only 45.
Cole vowed that if he recovered, he would go on television to urge people to stop smoking. On January 25, Cole's entire left lung was surgically removed.
An enemy will criticize you for simply existing and breathing. 🤔🙄
Seeing the picture of him with his wife I don't know who Natalie looks more like now.
She was her mother’s twin, in my opinion.
What happened to the life and sad ending , bit ?
Charlie Weeks, maybe after all the complaints, mine included, they've gotten the message?

we don't need another nat king cole.
That's an odd comment... why?
@@wendellthomas179 haha it's a line from the movie ray,I was wondering if anyone would notice it. its doesn't really have a meaning.
it’s a travesty that the great Thurgood Marshall’s SCOTUS seat was replaced with an actual thomas.
Everybody dying except Clarence. Smh
Slick hair back then
How much it was racism.
A voice doesn't have a color
Heck we and probably most countries around the world were and are terrible to coloured people but America was beyond terrible. People what the ek are you doing we are all just humans.would you treat a black animal different to an animal of any other .
Actually he was around 56 when he died
No, he was 46. Born in 1919. Died in 1965.
Oh I be dumb
@@Vwjl1207 He died in Feb. 1965. He would have turned 46 in March of that year.
@@Vwjl1207 Nat King Cole died one month before his 46th birthday.
@@davidwesley2525 He was born on St. Patrick's Day 1919.
Too much politics and not a lot about the singer..
If you was not active in the civil rights movement you were citizens and vilshunned
If they made a movie about him today and needed a person to portray him, I'd say Snoop Dog would be my choice....
Snoop is now to old. And he doesn't have the voice.
Who cares
You don't matter
@@wendellthomas179 Exactly.
I do
Unforgettable.
