Nat King Cole, born on March 17, 1919 in Montgomery, Alabama, was a prominent jazz pianist and vocalist. His trio of piano, guitar, and bass set the standard for many musicians to come. With his composition "Straighten Up and Fly Right" in 1943, he achieved his first vocal hit. Known for his soft baritone voice, Cole became an iconic figure in mainstream pop music. He made history as one of the first African Americans to host a television variety show called "The Nat King Cole Show" on NBC in 1956.

Cole's influence extended beyond his musical achievements. He received numerous accolades throughout his career including the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award in 1990 and induction into both the Down Beat Jazz Hall of Fame (1997) and the Rock And Roll Hall of Fame (2000).

Some similar artists who share Cole's talent and style include *Lula Reed*, *Guitar Slim*, *Pee Wee Crayton*, *Lightnin' Slim*, *Jimmy Rogers*, *Lowell Fulson*, *Lazy Lester*, *Rosco Gordon*, Clarence "Gatemouth" Brown", Percy Mayfield", Freddie King", Magic Sam", The Cash Box Kings", Otis Spann", Earl Hooker", T-Bone Walker", Billy Boy Arnold", Earl King', Albert Collins', and Snooky Pryor".

Definitive remastered edition with 16-page booklet containing rare photos and detailed liner notes, this special 2-CD collector's edition contains 42 remastered studio tracks, including all of the fabulous early singles - both A &amp; B-sides - Freddy King made for Federal Records between 1960 and 1962. The set also includes King's rare 1956 sides for the small El-Bee label. This is the material upon which Freddy King's legend was built and marks one of the most important building blocks of the electric blues.

Hotter than molten steel and best-known for his searing, assertive guitar solos and dynamic showmanship, the great Freddy King was a forceful presence and formidable gure in two of the most prominent blues scenes: Texas and Chicago.

Revered by his fans and respected by his peers, King was an innovative instrumentalist and underrated singer. He would move beyond electric blues, R&amp;B and soul to make commercial inroads into funk. There was a time, though, in the early and mid-1960s when his records were among the most in uential in blues, particularly for British and European audiences.
