On this day in 1965, we sadly lost NAT KING COLE.
• NAT KING COLE (1919-1965), American jazz and pop pianist and singer born in Montgomery, Alabama, one of the most famous performers in the history of American popular music. With his jazz combo King Cole Trio in the forties or in his last stage as a crooner, Nat was responsible for the success of classics such as ‘Route 66’, ‘Sweet Lorraine’, ‘Nature boy’, ‘The Christmas song’, ‘Ramblin’ rose’ and ‘Mona Lisa’. He was one of the first artists to sign in 1943 with the newly created Capitol Records, becoming the label’s flagship for many years.
Cole was considered a brilliant jazz pianist. He appeared, for example, in the first concerts of ‘Jazz at the Philharmonic’ (JATP). His group, composed only of piano, guitar, and bass in the era of the big bands, meant a real revolution. It imposed a style that would later be imitated by other jazz and blues greats such as Charles Brown and Ray Charles. Cole also performed as a pianist accompanist for artists such as Lester Young, Red Callender and Lionel Hampton.
Cole fought racism throughout his life and refused to perform in places where racial segregation was practiced. In 1956, while performing in Alabama, he was attacked by members of the ‘White Citizens’ Council who intended to kidnap him. He suffered several injuries during the assault but completed the performance, in which he announced that he would never perform in the south again.

Cole was a heavy smoker of Kool cigarettes. A consumer of three packs a day, he was so convinced that it was cigarettes that originated that special sound of his voice, that he developed the habit of smoking several in a row before singing or recording. In late 1964, Cole suffered from a sharp cough and chest pain. Admitted to the hospital in Santa Monica in December, a tumor was discovered in his lung, from which he died on February 15, 1965 at the age of 45.
His last album, ‘L-O-V-E’, recorded a few days before his admission to the hospital, reached the top 5 of the album charts in 1965. 18 years later, an employee of Electrola, the German subsidiary label of Capitol Records, discovered in his archives various unreleased songs by Cole, including one in Japanese and one in Spanish, ‘Tú eres tan amable’.
