65 The Nat King Cole Trio “Route 66” 1946

“Years have relegated to ancient history the extreme paradox of being a black star in a racist society, but Nat King Cole (1919-1965) lived that paradox. His records sold millions of copies, and women swooned when he sang, but he couldn’t be sure of getting a room in a good hotel” (Nat King Cole).
