Twin sisters Casey and Timolin Cole were born into a life of unusual luxury in Hancock Park to a father nicknamed "King" whose success was so great that the historic Capitol Records building not far away in Hollywood was nicknamed "The House That Nat Built."
Caretakers of legendary singer-bandleader-pianist Nat "King" Cole's legacy and estate through their King Cole Productions, for decades they have helped maintain and advance their dad's uniquely American story. It's one that began with his youth as a precocious Chicago teenage jazz pianist and ended, in 1965, with his death from lung cancer at age 45, an icon whose crossover success and remarkable musicality changed 20th century American culture.
On Friday, Iconic Artists Group, the legacy management firm owned by music executive Irving Azoff, announced that it had entered into a long-term agreement with Cole's daughters to administer, protect and further expand Nat "King" Cole's music, style and brand.
