EDITORS COMMENTS
This image showcases the iconic Nat King Cole, a groundbreaking black musician and singer, as he poses for the cover of his 1952 hit single "Pretend." The song was written by Lew Douglas, Cliff Parman, and Frank La Vere and recorded under Capitol Records. The 1950s, often referred to as the Fifties or the Fifties decade, was a pivotal era in American music history, and Nat King Cole was among its biggest stars. In this photograph, Nat King Cole is seen sitting at a piano with a thoughtful expression on his face, his fingers poised above the keys. The warm, inviting glow of a single lamp illuminates the room, casting a gentle, playful shadow on the wall behind him. The smartly dressed musician exudes an air of sophistication and charm, his smile inviting listeners to join him in the world of this timeless tune. The sheet music for "Pretend" is artfully arranged on the piano, its title and authors' names prominently displayed. The cover design, simple yet elegant, perfectly captures the essence of the song's lyrics, which speak of the power of make-believe and the importance of maintaining a positive outlook in the face of adversity. This photograph is a testament to Nat King Cole's enduring talent and the lasting impact of his music. With its evocative imagery and rich history, it is a treasure for music enthusiasts and collectors alike, offering a glimpse into the past and a reminder of the power of music to transport us to another time and place.
