Daniel Mark Epstein brings Nat King Cole (1917-1965) and his times to vivid life: his precocious entrance onto the vibrant jazz scene of his hometown, Chicago; the creation and success of his Trio; the crossover success of such songs as Straighten Up and Fly Right; and his years as a pop singer and television star, the first African American to have his own show.
