On March 17,1919, the world gained a singer with an « unforgettable » voice, when Nathaniel Adams Coles – Nat King Cole – was born in Montgomery, Alabama.
The son of a Baptist pastor, by age four he was learning piano from his mother, who directed the church choir. By age 15 Cole quit school to play jazz full-time.
At first, he was just behind the piano. But once audiences heard that silky-smooth baritone, they understandably wanted more.
