To mark the 30th anniversary of Nat King Cole's death, Dave Gelly traces the remarkable life and many talents of this popular artist. Along with many of his biggest hits - Nature Boy, When / Fall in Love and, of course, the evergreen Unforgettable - there are several rare items from the early days including examples of his piano playing and a comic dialogue between him and Frank Sinatra. In a recorded interview, Nat explains his philosophy as an entertainer, and there is an eye-witness account of the infamous day in 1956 when he was attacked on stage by a gang of racist thugs.
