Nat King Cole I am famous because I am an African American jazz artist. Nat King Cole I can't bear to see myself even in movies. The feeling is complex. I can't stand the sight of myself.

It knocks back a lot of the propaganda the Communists put out about the way America treats her Negroes. Nat King Cole If I could read it, I could play it. Nat King Cole It's not the people in the South who create racial problems - it's the people who are governing. Nat King Cole Music is emotional, and you may catch a musician in a very unemotional mood or you may not be in the same frame of mind as the musician. So a critic will often say a musician is slipping. Nat King Cole Only time, education and plenty of good schooling will make anti-segregation work. Nat King Cole People don't slip. Time catches up with them. Nat King Cole |
