Today In History Nat King Cole, legendary singer, pianist, and entertainer, was born in Montgomery, AL, on this date March 17, 1919. By the 1950s, Cole emerged as a popular solo performer. He scored numerous hits, with such songs as "Nature Boy," "Mona Lisa," "Too Young" and "Unforgettable." In the studio, Cole got to work with some of the country's top talent, including Louis Armstrong and Ella Fitzgerald, and famous arrangers such as Nelson Riddle. Cole made television history in 1956 when he became the first African American performer to host a variety TV series. The Nat King Cole Show featured many of the leading performers of the day, including Count Basie, Peggy Lee, Sammy Davis Jr. and Tony Bennett. His daughter Natalie Cole included a cover of the song Unforgettable on her album Unforgettable... with Love. It was certified 7× platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), and won the Grammy Award for Album of the Year, for which Cole became the first African-American woman to win the award.

You know when someone truly love themselves, it shows in how they treat others…Also, how much they hate themselves
Pay attention to how people treat others. That includes you, certain people and more importantly how they treat themselves. Then you will find out what kind of character they have and stop ignoring the signs! Most people know how fucked up they are and the fact that you choose to deal with them is giving desperation which screams to them you’re easy to manipulate because clearly you’re in denial about the obvious…
Sincerely,Tracey

Sista Souljah was so underrated back in the day! She was actually trying to TEACH our People. But we’d rather hear about Prada, money, and coochie! Nothing wrong with that but not 24/7!
