Nat “King” Cole was born on March 17, 1919 in Montgomery, Alabama. He was a popular musician from the 1940’s to the 1960’s. His unique honeyed voice, showmanship and piano playing ability made him well loved by fans globally.
This talented pianist was the son of a Baptist preacher named Edward James Coles. He changed his last name from Coles to Cole as his stage name. His mother’s name was Perlina Adams. She directed the church choir and sang soprano.
Although he was born in the south, his family eventually moved to Chicago where he was raised. His musical talent started to become evident as early as age four. He began to play the organ for the church at age eleven and organized and led a band during high school. He sang and played piano for his high school’s 14 piece band.
Nat had one marriage to a woman named Nadine that ended in divorce. He then met the love of his life, Maria Ellington, in 1947 and married her within a year. She was also a singer and they met while performing at the same club in New York. Nat and Maria had a happy marriage and five children. Musical talent was inherited by his offspring, as well. One of his daughters, Natalie, was also a vocalist and musician.
In 1956, the “Nat King Cole” show was launched on television. It was popular with many and had impressive guests such as Mel Torme and Ella Fitzgerald. Unfortunately, even with its large audience, it ended after only a year due to the lack of advertisers willing to stand behind a black celebrity. He is quoted as saying “Madison Avenue is afraid of the dark”.
His voice was probably his hottest commodity. It has been compared to velvet and is said to be simultaneously soothing and alluring. His piano playing talents are renowned, as well.

Michael Jackson’s sudden death was a shock to everyone; his family, his fans, his business associates and colleagues. From the start Michael’s death appeared suspicious with varying rumors of prescription drug abuse, a live-in doctor and strange 911 call and even evidence the singer had been having nightly anesthesia in order to induce sleep from chronic insomnia.

In addition, with a 50 concert tour worth hundreds of millions of dollars, and reported hundreds of millions in debts owed by Jackson, there is tremendous financial incentive to pursue anyone in which there is a remote possibility of responsibility for his death.
The Players
The reports of numerous medications being dispensed to Mr. Jackson under fictional or employee names and provided by an assortment of different doctors means the shark lawyers for both the Jackson family as well as the concert promoter hollister , AEG will have plenty of targets to pursue in a wrongful death suit.
