Nat ‘King’ Cole was born in Alabama in 1917. He began his musical career in the 1940s with his own Jazz trio, but his skills as an innovative Jazz Pianist soon became overshadowed by his skills as a ballad singer. Cole’s phrasing, his uncanny ability at interpreting a song and his sheer style made the whole business seem natural and effortless. Smoother than Sinatra, cooler than Crosby, when it came to crooners, Nat Cole truly was the King. His mellow approach influenced not only other ballad singers, but a whole generation of 1960s soul singers. This 16-track ‘greatest hits’ collection is a superb selection.

Joan Baez is one of the most influential performers in folk music history. She was a leading light in the musical protest movement led by Pete Seeger. This brought her into contact with an up-andcoming young troubadour named Bob Dylan, whom she met in 1961 in New York’s Greenwich Village. Her self-titled debut album, ‘Joan Baez’, brought her to public attention following her discovery at the 1959 Newport Folk Festival – her first professional engagement coinciding with the first festival. A plainly produced, live-sounding vocal and guitar album featuring a repertoire of traditional folk songs, it put Joan firmly on the map. In 2007 she finally picked up a Grammy for lifetime achievement.
