Never really hear about him anymore. He was for a little while a Black "A lister" . Then he kinda just faded away. Like you'd think he'd at least be cast as someone's father or something. What happened
Not surprised at all by this

Some Facts about Nat King Cole - I posted some of the most interesting but u can peep the entire list by clicking the link

-------------------------------------
Cole seemed mostly unbothered by these accusations, and continued to feature jazz in his own ways, even creating an all-jazz album called After Midnight as late as 1956. Cole’s new success was starting to open doors, some more taboo than others.
So, Cole stopped gave up the habit...for exactly three months. The doctors wanted him to quit, but he had unique ideas about the habit.
Thankfully, law enforcement was on the scene and quickly apprehended the men. As it turns out, the men had much more sinister plans than a mere beating.
However, Cole's response to the attack didn't exactly win him any friends in the Black community.
This romance continued even into Cole’s final sickness, threatening his marriage.

Iconic Facts About Nat King Cole, The Jazz Giant - Factinate
Nat King Cole had a grin that charmed both Black and white audiences—yet few people know the incredibly dark history that lay behind that playful smile.
12. He Was Accused Of Being A Sellout
As Cole’s singing career took off, his music started to move from traditional jazz tunes to a more widely enjoyed genre, something more pop than classic jazz. It wasn’t anything like what we’d call pop today, but many jazz musicians still considered him a sellout, angrily insisting that he was now making music just for the money.Cole seemed mostly unbothered by these accusations, and continued to feature jazz in his own ways, even creating an all-jazz album called After Midnight as late as 1956. Cole’s new success was starting to open doors, some more taboo than others.
16. He Had An Affair
After a few electric interactions, Cole invited Maria to join him on the road. Maria knew he was married, and has even said she did feel guilty for spending so much time with Cole. She clearly didn’t feel that guilty, because she only made one stop before joining Cole on the road—at a drugstore to get a toothbrush. Cole was head over heels—and it spelled the end for his marriage.21. His Neighbors Hated Him
The disgruntled residents of the neighborhood took up where the Klan left off, continuing to harass Cole and his wife. They poisoned Cole's dog, and even shot a bullet through a window when the Coles were out. Cole could have certainly moved to another location, but he seemed to have other ideas.26. He Smoked Like A Chimney
Nat King Cole took up smokes at the age of 14. It wasn't long before the habit took its toll. When Cole showed up to a performance looking like death warmed up, a member of his team insisted that he go to the hospital. Doctors there immediately took him in and treated him for a bleeding ulcer. While he survived and would return to work, his doctors said that for him to heal completely he’d need to stop lighting up for at least three months.So, Cole stopped gave up the habit...for exactly three months. The doctors wanted him to quit, but he had unique ideas about the habit.
30. He Was Attacked Onstage
Nat King Cole always felt at home on stage—but one night in 1956, one of his performances took a chilling turn. While singing for an all-white audience, several white men attacked Cole. This attack followed the circulation of photos featuring Cole and white female fans, which enraged many in the white community.Thankfully, law enforcement was on the scene and quickly apprehended the men. As it turns out, the men had much more sinister plans than a mere beating.
31. He Was Nearly Murdered
The authorities indicted six men for the incident, revealing that nearly 150 more men from Birmingham and other surrounding towns were in on the plan, which was ultimately to abduct and murder Cole. The experience must have frightened and shocked him. Cole noted that he didn’t understand why the men targeted him, as he wasn’t necessarily an active member of any civil rights protests or organizations.However, Cole's response to the attack didn't exactly win him any friends in the Black community.
32. He Was Called An Uncle Tom
Cole denounced the incident, but he said he didn't hold anything against the men and was not “bitter” against them. This response was too diplomatic with many persons in the Black community. Thurgood Marshall, who would later become the first Black supreme court justice, called him an Uncle Tom and even satirically joked that Cole should perform with a banjo. And Marshall wasn’t the only person who spoke out against Cole.34. He Became An Activist
Even though he would never perform in Alabama again, these losses seemed to inspire Cole. He began to actively engage in the civil rights fight, becoming an official member of the NAACP, boycotting segregated venues, and even helping to plan the March on Washington. Cole had his sights set on making a difference and using his opportunities to help the Black community—but the further he tried to go, the more resistance he would face.45. He Had A Secret Lover
A few years before his hospitalization, in 1963, Cole was on the road with his show Sights and Sound when he first encountered Gunilla Hutton, a young white dancer. He had been growing distant from Maria for some time, and was spending more time on the road and with Hutton. Before long, he fell out of love with his wife, and into love with his dancer.This romance continued even into Cole’s final sickness, threatening his marriage.

47. His Secret Lover Wanted Him To Herself
During these last months of Nat King Cole’s life, Hutton must have felt the need to be by his side, as she called Cole’s wife directly. Hutton told Maria about the extramarital relationship, and recommended that Maria divorce him. When Maria brought the situation to Cole, he confessed and officially ended his affair with Hutton. Many people make reconciliations when their days are numbered, but Cole expected something more.Biscayne

This gotta be one of the funniest stories in this thread. I read it in Mike and Ricks voices.Mike Tyson speaking on Rick James in his book.
"I was living this crazy dual life. One day visiting friends in their prison cells, the next day hanging out with Rick James.
I met him at a party for some new movie. We were at a big club, maybe a thousand people were there, but you’re going to notice Rick James. I didn’t know whether he was a celebrity, a musician, or a gangster. Right around then he had made a lot of money from Hammer sampling him on “U Can’t Touch This,” so Rick was back in business.
Next time I saw him I was in the lobby of a hotel on Sunset Boulevard. I was sitting outside with Ricky Schroder and Alfonso Ribeiro from The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, just chilling. Ricky was probably 16 then and Alfonso was maybe 17. But we’re sitting there drinking, and I looked up and I saw a convertible Cornice Rolls-Royce pull up and Rick get out.
He was wearing a loud shirt with a tie, but the tie wasn’t tied and the shirt was unbuttoned. He came over to us, slapped me five, and then he looked at Alfonso. “Aren’t you an actor?” he said and then, boom, he hit him. “Gimme that fukking beer,” he said and grabbed Alfonso’s beer. “Rick, this is a kid, you can’t hit this guy like that,” I protested. He just took that bottle and swigged from it. He didn’t care if the kid had herpes. I’m sure Rick did. “What’s up, nikka?” he said to me."
Yep,dude was shady as hell. Sam treated him like a Son and also hired him as in guitarist,when no one knew who Bobby was because he didn't have his own career yet at the time,he was shady as shyt,Sam's wife as well for her part in this fukkery.
"What happened between Sam Cooke and Bobby Womack? There was no Bobby Womack and Sam Cooke beef when Sam was alive. However, Bobby did a lot to shame the friendship he had with Sam after his death. Bobby showed up to Cooke's funeral wearing Sam Cooke's suit, with Sam Cooke's wife, and driving Sam Cooke's car. Sam's family was distraught, but that would not be the end of Bobby's tragic legacy
Only 3 months after his friend's death, Bobby married Sam Cooke's wife, Barbara, who was 10 years older than him. This was not the end of it; he later released a song where he was talking about sleeping with his friend's wife before he was dead. Bobby Womack Sam Cooke song was released in 1985 after Cooke's death. The song, I wish he didn't trust me so much, references the trust Sam had in him, and yet he wanted his wife.
Things got worse when Barbara found Bobby Womack and Linda Cooke in bed. Linda was only 17 years old at the time. She was so upset that she held a gun to his head when she was chasing him out of their home. As he was running out, she shot him, and the bullet grazed his head. They divorced after this, but this incident ruined Linda and Barbara's relationship.
In his autobiography, he disclosed that he and Linda used to sneak out of the house to share intimate moments. Soon after this crazy time, Linda became Linda Womack by marrying his brother Cecil Womack.
