Famous quotes by Nat King Cole:

"I am famous because I am an African American jazz artist."

"I've worked too long and too hard to play in some little joint for $65 a night, ... In New York, jazz fans support you. In Atlanta, unless you're booked in a club where folks can drive up to the front door, you're out of luck. If people have to look for parking, forget it."

"He got it, man, ... Clay understands the music. I've been fortunate in my career. But it's a tough fight out there by yourself."

"Well, I'm always introduced as Nat Cole's brother, Ike Cole's brother and Natalie Cole's uncle. So I added a few others. I'm also Lionel Cole's father. I'm Crystal Cole's father. I'm the Cole nobody knows."

"A Raisin in the Sun."

"I'm a businessman. I work for business people. The kind of thing they say is: Now we've sold a lot of records, let's sell some more."

"Critics don't buy records. They get 'em free."

"I felt something impossible for me to explain in words. Then when they took her away, it hit me. I got scared all over again and began to feel giddy. Then it came to me -- I was a father."

"I'm a musician at heart, I know I'm not really a singer. I couldn't compete with real singers. But I sing because the public buys it.."

"You've got to change with the public's taste."

"The only sport I'm not interested in is horse racing. That's because I don't know the horses personally."

"I make no claim to being a business genius. You can make so much money in this business that it loses its value."

"I am an American citizen and feel I am entitled to the same rights as any other citizen."

"The Supreme Court is having a hard time integrating schools. What chance do I have to integrate audiences?"

"I often wonder whether Negroes like myself who are pretty well known help out at all in breaking down barriers."

"The sheriff is at the cash register, and if I don't get a hit soon, I don't know what I'll do."

"People don't slip. Time catches up with them."

"I'm a musician at heart, I know I'm not really a singer. I couldn't compete with real singers. But I sing because the public buys it."

"Primarily I'm a meat man, although once in a while I toy with a few vegetables."

"I was a guinea pig for some hoodlums who thought they could hurt me and frighten me and keep other Negro entertainers from the South."
