Cole is, indeed, unforgettable, and this biography traces his career from phenomenal jazz pianist to one of the world’s most successful vocalists. The discography is useful in dating his hits, and the final chapter, although written in 1985, deals with the children left behind by his untimely death in 1965.
James Haskins is the author of Bricktop (with Bricktop), The Cotton Club, and, with Kathleen Benson, of Scott Joplin, winner of the ASCAP Deems Taylor Award, and Lena.
