All hail the King!  The velvet voice of Nat "King" Cole is coming this weekend to Public Television as TJ Lubinsky's My Music series premieres a centennial celebration of the late singer-pianist born March 17, 1919.  My Music: Nat King Cole's Greatest Songs includes full performances of his greatest hits, most beloved classics, and favorite standards including the timeless "Mona Lisa," "Unforgettable" and "When I Fall in Love," the cool "Route 66," and jubilant "Those Lazy-Hazy-Crazy Days of Summer."

In the My Music tradition, Nat King Cole's Greatest Songs will present rarely-seen footage from Mr. Cole's pioneering 1950s television variety show.  Martin Sheen hosts this one-of-a-kind program which debuts on Public Television stations nationwide this weekend.

The program features these indelible performances:

A very special companion CD set will be available as part of pledge drives beginning this weekend.  Nat King Cole: Favorites is a new, exclusive 3-CD, 81-song collection paired with Universal's upcoming Ultimate Nat King Cole.  With 102 tracks total over 4 CDs, this bundle boasts every one of Nat's U.S. top 40 Pop hits, plus a generous helping of true fan favorites and hard-to-find tracks.  TSD's Joe Marchese has written the new liner notes for Favorites which will be included in a 16-page booklet filled with rare and unpublished photographs of the artist.

That's not all, either.  My Music: Nat King Cole's Greatest Songs will also be available on DVD, adding an additional dozen songs not seen on the broadcast version including "The Sand and The Sea," "It's a Good Day," "I'm Gonna Sit Right Down and Write Myself a Letter," "Smoke Gets In Your Eyes," "It's All in the Game," "Almost Like Being In Love," "Where Or When," "The Party's Over," and other Cole classics.
