22 Original Albums

22 Original LPs des großartigen Sängers und Pianisten sind in dieser 10 CD-Box zu finden. Viele Hits und etliche Raritäten zeigen das außerordentliche Können eines unvergessenen Musikers.

"Mit dieser Box ehren wir das Andenken an den unvergessenen Sänger und Pianisten Nat "King" Cole. Geboren als Nathaniel Adams Coles im Jahr 1917 in Montgomery, Alabama, gründete er mit 22 das berühmte "King Cole Trio", bei dem er selbst am Klavier saß und auch als Leadsänger überzeugte. Er war einer der ersten Afroamerikaner, dem es gelang in den R&B-Charts und Pop-Charts gleichermaßen erfolgreich zu sein. Sechsundvierzig Mal war er allein zwischen 1942 und 1964 in den R&B-Charts zu finden, die Pop-Charts erreichte er sogar noch öfter. Cole spielte in einigen Filmen mit und war Gastgeber einer eigenen TVShow. Tochter Natalie wurde selbst eine sehr erfolgreiche R&B-Interpretin und landete mit dem postumen Duett mit ihrem Vater und einer neuen Version des King Cole- Hits "Unforgettable" im Jahr 1991 einen Charterfolg. Nat "King" Cole war bereits 1965 im Alter von nur 47 Jahren an Krebs gestorben."
