Street Surprise
During one of the commercials,
Cole walked to the edge of the
stage and informally chatted with
some of the audience, assuring
them that the show was a com¬
plete surprise to him.
To snare Cole for the show, Ed¬
wards and his staff arranged to
lure the singer into an adjoining
studio under the pretext of helping
his two daughters (Carol, 15, and
Natalie, 9), rehearse for an ap¬
pearance on a TV show for the
National Kidney Disease Founda¬
tion. of which Cole is honorary
chairman for tho entertainment
industry.
In addition to the two Cole girls
and Nat’s wife, Maria, other sur¬
prise guests included his father,
Rev. Edward J. Cole, a retired
Baptist minister from Chicago;
Evelyn Cules, Nat’s only sister;
Andrew Gardner, Charles Gray,
Russell Shores and Henry Fort,
all members of Cole’s first band,
formed when he was Id.
Others were Bob Lewis, who in
1937 gave Nat his first important
job (at the Swanee Inn in Los
Angeles) and who later dubbed
Nat, “King”; and the other two
original members of the King Cole
Trio, Oscar Moore and Wesley
Prince.
