    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".

This song is one of my absolute favorites and I hope you’re interested in hearing a couple of facts about it. “Too Young” is one of those legendary classics that, to many people, is much more than just a song.

    “The Savior Is Waiting To Enter Your Heart” 3 AUTHOR: Ralph Carmichael May 28th 1927 TUNE: CARMICHAEL COMPOSER: Ralph Carmichael May 28th 1927 Ralph Carmichael was born May 28th 1927 in Quincy, Illinois. He is an author, composer and arranger of both secular and sacred music and a forerunner of what we may call contemporary Christian Church music. He is married to his wife Marvella. His daughter, Carol Parks is an artist.1. Near the end of the 50’s when music was starting to become more Rock oriented, he caught the attention of Nat King Cole and Capitol Records; their joint effort was eventually a work called “The Magic of Christmas”. Carmichael worked with others of Cole’s endeavors through mid-60’s at which point Nat King Cole died of Lung Cancer in 1965. One of the more ambitious projects Carmichael and Cole partnered on was before the singers death was Nat King Cole Sings My Fair Lady (1964). Carmichael arranged for other performers such as Ella Fitzgerald, Bing Crosby, Stan Kenton, and Roger Williams among others including Sue Raney's comeback album All By Myself in 1963. Carmichael even became music advisor and director for the I Love Lucy show during the last few years of the show. But, his most prolific work is clearly in the arena of Christian music. Some would even hang the moniker Father of Contemporary Christian Music on Carmichael because of his pop-rock style and use of 7th chords and ‘sing-able’ lyric flair. He founded Light Records and endeared himself to the Jesus People movement in the late 60’s and 70’s.

This study narrates the import of rock music into church sanctuaries across America via the rise of contemporary worship music (CWM). While white evangelicals derided rock n’ roll as the “devil’s music” in the 1950s, it slowly made its way into their churches and beyond over the next fifty years, emerging as a multi-million dollar industry by the twenty-first century. This study is a cultural history of CWM, chronicling the rise of rock music in the worship life of American Christians. Pulling from several different primary and secondary sources, I argue that three main motivations fueled the rise of CWM in America: the desire to reach the lost, to commune in emotional intimacy with God, and to grow the flock.

  • Ella Fitzgerald Story
    Ella Fitzgerald Story Autoren: Klaus Huckert/Uwe Lorenz Einleitungsmusik: A Tisket, A Tasket Anmoderation: In der heutigen Weihnachtsendung des Jazz-Cocktails wollen wir uns mit dem Star des Vocal-Jazz Ella Fitzgerald beschäftigen. In der ersten Stunde präsentiert Radio 700 Aufnahmen aus den 40-60er Jahren, in der zweiten Stunde Weihnachtslieder der Sängerin. Im 20.Jahrhundert prägte keine andere Stimme den Jazz so sehr wie die von Ella. Ihre Beinamen waren „The Queen of Jazz“ oder „The first Lady of Jazz“ bzw. auch „The first Lady of Song“. Zur Eröffnung haben wir bereits ihren ersten Millionen-Hit „A Tisket, A Tasket“ aus dem Jahr 1938 gehört. In der fast sechzig Jahren währenden Welt-Karriere nahm die Sängerin mehrere hundert Platten auf, erhielt 14 Grammys und eine Vielzahl an Ehrungen. Schnelle Tempi im Bebop-Gesang, melancholischer Grundton bei Balladen, mitreißender Groove bei Swing-Nummern und hochinteressante Scat-Einlagen kennzeichneten ihren Stil. Basis ihres Könnens war eine Genauigkeit in der Intonation und glasklare Töne, wie man sie heute selten findet. Ihr Repertoire umfasste den Swing, Bebop, Blues, Bossa Nova und Gospel. Die Anfangsjahre von Ella Fitzgerald (Take 1) Ella Jane Fitzgerald - geboren 1917 in Newport News/Virginia, verstorben 1996 in Beverly Hills/Kalifornien -, hatte eine relativ schwierige Kindheit. Sie wuchs in ärmlichen Verhältnissen bei ihrer Mutter - Tempie Fitzgerald -, die als Wäscherin arbeitete, und ihrem Vater, dem Eisenbahnarbeiter William Fitzgerald, auf. Ein Jahr nach ihrer Geburt verließ der Vater die Familie. Ihre Mutter heiratete dann nach kurzer Zeit den portugiesischen Einwanderer Joseph da Silva. 1923 brachte die Mutter ein weiteres Mädchen zur Welt, das den Namen Frances da Silva erhielt.

    The Influence of Music on the Development of the Church of God (Cleveland, Tennessee) by STEPHEN BENSON VAUGHAN A thesis submitted to the University of Birmingham for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY School of Philosophy, Theology and Religion College of Arts and Law University of Birmingham, UK May 2015 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties.

ABSTRACT This thesis examines the influence of music on the development of the Church of God (Cleveland, Tennessee). The dissertation is historically driven, but relies upon an interdisciplinary approach to draw on the insights of ecclesiology, theology, liturgiology, church development, and music. This thesis utilizes a chronological and systematic approach to the relationship between music and the Church of God in the United States during the first 125 years of the denomination’s history, from 1886 – 2011. The study focuses upon eight major themes: historical roots, education, publishing, evangelism, transition, nurturing, liturgiology, and worship,

    SHIPPING DATE: OCTOBER 30, 2006 (estimated) STREET DATE: DECEMBER 4, 2006 ARTIST NAT KING COLE TITLE L.O.V.E The Complete Capitol Recordings 1960 - 1964 LABEL Bear Family Records CATALOG # BCD 16717 PRICE-CODE KL EAN-CODE 4000127 167170 ISBN-CODE 3-89916-153-X FORMAT 11-CD Box Set (LP-size) with 184-page hardcover book GENRE Pop TRACKS 292 PLAYING TIME 787:34 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 R&B 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, Ralph Carmichael, and in particular, Nelson Riddle.
