Itzhak Perlman: American Masters

The World Of Nat King Cole

In 2005 - 40 years after his untimely death - musical pioneer Nat King Cole returned to Billboard's Top 50, proving his everlasting appeal. AMERICAN MASTERS now pays tribute to one of the world's most beloved entertainers with a one-hour documentary that sheds new light on Cole's universal appeal and towering achievements during a 30-year music and television career. As Isaac Hayes says in the film, "He was cool before it was cool to be cool."
