Today is the birthday of Nat King Cole, who left us too soon… he was only 45 when he died of lung cancer in 1965. He smoked three packs of Kools a day.
Cole was simply one of the best singers ever. Here’s a sampling.
Paper Moon
When I Fall in Love
Nature Boy (for Porgy)
Tenderly (one of my favorite songs)

Turban Tuesday has been preempted to bring you this special edition — Pillbox Hat Tuesday, marking the 48th anniversary of the murder of President Kennedy.
Here’s Jack and Jackie, arriving at Love Field in Dallas on that fateful day, November 22, 1963.
Jackie’s pink suit was made in 1961 by the New York dress salon, Chez Ninon. It was a copy of a Chanel pink boucle wool suit trimmed with a navy blue collar. The pillbox hat was designed by Oleg Cassini, and outsourced to be constructed by Marita at Bergdorf Goodman.
By request of Caroline Kennedy, Jackie’s Dallas outfit won’t be on public display until 2103. It is being stored by the National Archives and Records Administration in a dark, windowless, temperature-controlled bunker at the agency’s complex in Maryland. It was never washed and is still bloodstained.
No one seems to know what became of the pillbox hat. According to a Secret Service agent, it was last known to be in the hands of Jackie’s personal secretary, Mary Barelli Gallagher, who won’t discuss it.
