Unforgettable In Every Way, And Forever More,

I Am Famous Because I Am An African American Jazz Artist.

If I Could Read It, I Could Play It.

When I First Organized The King Cole Trio Back In 1937, We Were Strictly What You Would Call An Instrumental Group. To Break The Monotony, I Would Sing A Few Songs Here And There Between The Playing. I Sang Things I Had Known Over The Years. I Wasn't Trying To Give It Any Special Treatment, Just Singing. I Noticed Thereafter People Started Requesting More Singing, And It Was Just One Of Those Things.

If You Smile Through Your Fear And Sorrow, Smile And Maybe Tomorrow You'll See The Sun Come Shining Through For You.

I Make No Claim To Being A Business Genius. You Can Make So Much Money In This Business That It Loses Its Value.
