Nat King Cole was a celebrated American singer, jazz pianist, and actor known for his nearly three-decade career. He rose to fame as the frontman of The King Cole Trio, the best-selling group on Capitol Records in the 1940s. Transitioning to a solo artist in the 1950s, he achieved great success as a pop vocalist, with more than 100 chart-topping songs. Despite encountering racial prejudice, Cole actively supported civil rights movements and made history as the first African American to host a nationally televised program.
