Black Fact = 1965 (Feb.15) – Nat King Cole, singer, pianist, and entertainer, died in Santa Monica, CA, on this date. “Unforgettable,” “Mona Lisa,” and “Sentimental Reasons” were some of his most popular songs.
Born on March 17, 1919, in Montgomery, Alabama, Nat King Cole was an American musician who first came to prominence as a jazz pianist. He owes most of his popular musical fame to his soft baritone voice, which he used to perform in big band and jazz genres. In 1956, Cole became the first African-American performer to host a variety television series, and for many white families, he was the first black man welcomed into their living rooms each night. He has maintained worldwide popularity since his death in 1965.
