Today is the day. March 17. The 100th anniversary of the birth of the incomparable Nat King Cole. Born as Nathaniel Adams Coles in Montgomery, Alabama in 1919, he rose to fame via both Chicago, Illinois and Los Angeles, California as a jazz pianist and singer, first with The Nat King Cole Trio and later as a solo artist. He left a mark on not only the music industry and popular culture, but also on society itself, rising above discrimination with a message of hope and love, bringing joy to count
