NAT KING COLE THE MAN AND HIS MUSIC por JAMES HASKINS
All the years have relegated to ancient history the extreme paradox of being a black star in a racist society, but Nat King Cole 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. This book tells of his life.
