Unforgettable
There’s ample material in Nat King Cole’s short life (he died of cancer at 45) for drama. The racism he suffered starting out, persisted even when he was established. Neighbours burned the word “nigger” into the lawn of his Los Angeles mansion. He was squeezed from the other side by black militants who chided him for allowing his skin to be lightened for publicity shots, for agreeing to play to segregated audiences, for declining to join the National Association for the Advancement of Coloured People. But Unforgettable assumes the mellowness in Cole’s voice flooded his life.
