Summary of Biography - Nat King Cole: Loved in Return [VHS]
His voice melted hearts and made him one of the most successful singers of all time. But his success was tempered by the constant battles he had to wage as a black superstar in white America. Nat King Cole was one of the greatest musicians of the 20th cAlthough he passed away too early at age 47, Nat King Cole presents a real challenge to biographers limited to 50 minutes. He is portrayed here--and accurately so--as a heroic figure who was cursed with amazing talent and charisma. His life became a series of conflicts, each one followed by an even greater triumph. The initial conflict was between Cole the jazz pianist and Cole the pop crooner. He was destined for jazz immortality--even the great Art Tatum would watch him play--until the night (as legend has it) a drunken fan called out for a vocal number. "I sang the way I felt and that's just the way it came out," Cole would later explain. Jazz heavies outwardly resented his defection to pop stardom. Cole faced both violent racist whites, who felt threatened by his mass appeal, and hostile African Americans, who considered him a traitor--Thurgood Marshall, then of the NAACP, publicly called him an Uncle Tom, and stores pulled his records off the shelves in Harlem. His only response to such battles was reaching even greater commercial heights: huge hit records fronting full orchestras, his own television show (which he was forced to cancel due to sponsor backlash), major films, red-carpet European tours. Even his beloved cigarettes, which he claimed made his voice more velvety, would take his life at a young age. Loved in Return wisely includes mention of all these major events and issues, which beats glossing over them completely, but doesn't offer any deep analysis or examination. --Marc Greilsamer
