Nat King Cole was a leading jazz pianist in the late 1930's. His trio of piano, guitar, & bass was emulated by many. Born on March 17, 1919 in Montgomery, Alabama, U.S.A., he gained fame with his composition "Straighten Up and Fly Right" in 1943. With his soft baritone voice, Cole became an icon recording mainstream pop material. He hosted "The Nat King Cole Show," one of the first television variety shows hosted by an African American. Cole received numerous awards including the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award in 1990 and induction into the Down Beat Jazz Hall of Fame in 1997 and Rock And Roll Hall of Fame in 2000.

As part of the celebration of the global entertainment legend’s centennial year, Virgin / UMC release two new collections showcasing Cole’s music – Ultimate Nat King Cole. The former includes an exclusive new duet of The Girl From Ipanema, pairing Cole’s original vocals with newly recorded vocals by Grammy-winning Blue Note Records artist Gregory Porter, whose much lauded 2018 album tribute to Cole, Nat King Cole and Me, is Grammy nominated this year.

The releases are among a host of special events, projects and programs commemorating the 100th anniversary of the birth of Nat King Cole, widely acknowledged as one of the most honoured and iconic performing and recording artists of all time.
