And Tony Bennett is flawless as always. Tony and Nat on the same show. Why is 1950s TV so much better than current offerings?

Notice how Tony reaches out his hand to Nat during the introduction. The fact they shook hands in that era is significant.

This television show was and remains the high point of American mass media culture. A show with Excellence in every respect: the best performers with great material, a great band and great backup singers. And most importantly, it was delivered with Class and Sincerity, never looking down on the viewer or dumbing itself down. It was too good to last! So grateful these episodes have been preserved and uploaded. Keep it Real, folks, and KNOW what we've got while we have it!

20:00 Often it takes time to recognize a 'definitive' classic...you usually need a few decades to pass to gather comparative data and access the durability and impact of a performance. Not necessary here. Nat King Cole's 1957 recording of 'Stardust' for many years now has been widely recognized as the definitive vocal for this definitive American standard. Seeing Tony Bennett literally make the call in real time is impressive. 65 years later, its still reigns supreme.

He was one of the GREATS! I remember watching this show in the fifties when I was a child. My mother loved Nat King Chole and I even liked him as a child. This brings back a much more simple time in life. I 'm so glad we have the thechnolgy today that people can experience it again or for the first time. Things are so difficuilt in this Covid pandemic. it's nice to be able to go to a much better easier time in life. I'm enjoying this so much. Whoever put this online THANK YOU.

The latter was Capitol Records, the house that Nat built. Thanks, Jim!

The show had spotty sponsorship throughout ... Reingold Beer was a regional sponsor for the show in the east - good for them. It's stupid how reluctant Madison Ave and networks were about entertainers of color ... mostly the American audience accepted a great talent regardless of these concerns. (Did you know the CBS was originally scared to have Lucy and Desi star together because they were a mixed race couple! People didn't care - they loved them.)

The world is too much with us. We are told so often what problems we have with race that we don't know how to just relax and listen without reading too much into every little word. I think Natalie was a native Hawaiian, so she would probably have dealt with some bias herself. I don't think there was anything intended in her introduction aside from a friendly tone ... after all, this was a BIG break for them to appear on Nat's show ... he was a very popular entertainer and they would not have done anything to offend him.

He wasn't alone, although he and the Chicago Defender paper certainly went lower than others did. Roy Wilkins at least had the decency to frame his criticism as an invitation for Cole to get involved in the civil rights struggle, rather than settle for calling him an "Uncle Tom" like Marshall did, or, like the "Defender", portray him as a race traitor.

@@MinecraftRick "Traitors" like Nat showed everyone of every color how to transcend differences and address them as a result. He was no "Tom" ... he was a warm, hugely talented man with an engaging quality as an entertainer that prompted jealously in more petty people. Many of his critics did a lot of good in their way but I think they completely missed the point with Nat.
