  • ABOUT the ARTIST: ROBIN SPIELBERG “Music Smoothes The
    ABOUT THE ARTIST: ROBIN SPIELBERG “Music smoothes the rough edges of life,” says Robin Spielberg in a recent interview. “It speaks to us when words fail, and expresses our deepest emotions.”Ms. Spielberg discovered her passion for music as a youth and began formal piano lessons at the age of 7. By the time she turned 10, she had composed more than 50 original songs. Growing up just outside of New York City, Spielberg often frequented the Broadway theater district with her family. Her love for the American Musical inspired her as a youth to arrange popular American songs from theater and film alongside her classical training. With interests in both theater and music, Spielberg earned a B.F.A. in drama from New York University. As a founding member of the Atlantic Theater Company, she has acted in dozens of off- Broadway plays, radio dramas, and composed several original scores while building a career as one of the premiere piano performers in New York. It was in these Manhattan piano rooms that Spielberg debuted her original piano solos. Spielberg began her concert career in 1996. Audiences returned again and again to hear Spielberg’s unique arrangements and original music. Her Carnegie Hall debut was a sold-out performance at the Weill Recital Hall in 1997 and she has been a headline performer in the hall twice since. Robin Spielberg has been hailed as one of America’s most popular contemporary female pianists/composers and one of the most expressive pianists of our time. She has been featured in live performances on such programs as; “The Soul of Christmas: A Celtic Music Celebration with Thomas Moore” and “The Great American Ballroom Challenge” on PBS, CBS Saturday Morning, ABC News, Lifetime Live, and NPR.

    SHIPPING DATE: MARCH 20, 2006 ARTIST NAT KING COLE TITLE Stardust The Complete Capitol Recordings 1955-1959 LABEL Bear Family Records CATALOG # BCD 16342 PRICE-CODE KL EAN-CODE 4000127 163424 ISBN-CODE 3-89916-152-1 FORMAT 11-CD Box-Set (LP-size) with 208-page hardcover book GENRE Pop TRACKS 298 PLAYING TIME 809:24 SALES NOTES Nat King Cole (1919-1965) was the most popular male singer of his generation, and, along with Bing Crosby, Frank Sinatra and Elvis Presley, one of the four best known male vocalists of all time. Making Cole's story all the more remarkable, he began his career not as a pop singer but as one of the greatest of all jazz pianists. Yet by the time he had made the transition from jazz to pop, he had sold more records and racked up more hit singles than anyone in the immediate post-war era, even Frank Sinatra. He was also the first Afro-American pop music superstar - and still the greatest. Cole's baritone voice was sweet and pretty, and most of his greatest successes were with love songs. Still, he had the greatest time of any singer ever, and was equally well-versed in swinging rhythm numbers and blues. In his combination of tenderness and bluesy energy, Cole was a founding father of rhythm and blues and a major influence on the soul movement – as cited by Charles Brown, Ray Charles and many other later stars. Like Frank Sinatra, he collaborated closely with the greatest pop orchestrators of all time, particularly Gordon Jenkins, Billy May and in particular, Nelson Riddle.

  • Nat King Cole
    Nat King Cole Background information Birth name Nathaniel Adams Coles Also known as Nat Cole Born March 17, 1919 Montgomery, Alabama, U.S. Died February 15, 1965 (aged 45) Santa Monica, California, U.S. Genres Vocal jazz, swing, traditional pop Occupation(s) Vocalist, pianist Instruments Piano, vocals, organ Years active 1935–1965 Labels Capitol Associated acts Natalie Cole, Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin Nathaniel Adams Coles (March 17, 1919 – February 15, 1965), known professionally as Nat King Cole, was an American singer who first came to prominence as a leading jazz pianist. He was widely noted for his soft, baritone voice, which he used to perform in big band and jazz genres and which he used to become a major force in popular music for 3 decades producing many hit songs for Cole. Cole was one of the first African Americans to host a national television variety show, The Nat King Cole Show, and has maintained worldwide popularity since his death from lung cancer in February 1965. Early life Nathaniel Adams Coles was born in Montgomery, Alabama, on March 17, 1919. Cole had three brothers: Eddie, Ike, and Freddy, and a half-sister, Joyce Coles. Ike and Freddy would later pursue careers in music as well. When Cole was four years old, he and his family moved to Chicago, Illinois, where his father, Edward Coles, became a Baptist minister. Cole learned to play the organ from his mother, Perlina Coles, the church organist. His first performance was of "Yes! We Have No Bananas" at age four. He began formal lessons at 12, eventually learning not only jazz and gospel music, but also Western classical music, performing, as he said, "from Johann Sebastian Bach to Sergei Rachmaninoff".
