Bowers Lecture: Nat King Cole - Unforgettable

Bowers Museum presents Timeless Melodies:  Nat King Cole, Unforgettable, live via Zoom with historian Larry Maurer.

Who can forget that smooth voice that charmed us for decades? From his early days in Chicago listening to jazz great Louis Armstrong, Nat King Cole developed a natural jazz piano style. The public wanted to hear him sing and he made the transition from pianist to vocalist and from alternative records to the mainstream- leading the way for other black performers.
