I'm sure that many people just see Freddy as the brother of Nat King Cole who is trying to be like Nat. He probably hears that all the time. That's why he wrote this song. Freddy should be known and appreciated for his own contribution to music, but unfortunately, he will always have to live in the shadows of his brother.

he is a great. i had the pleasure of meeting him in St. Louis, where we sang the night away together. A fantastic musician.

God Bless you Freddy! Just your sound is the "essence" of jazz! You are the complete package. You really are not your brother -- you're YOU!  What a Style WOW!!!!!!

Freddie played my wedding many years ago. He even indulged me with Jingles, The Christmas Cat. Class act and it was an honor to have him there :)

Beautiful... I discovered him today... As much as I love Nat... If I had known about Freddy Cole before I would say he is for sure more my type of male vocalist. He has a deeper tone and just so rich. They are both equally good. Freddy however is more my style though.

Just found out Freddy Cole and I both graduated from The Juilliard School. Sweet!

Caught Freddy Cole do his thing at The Manor in WO, NJ a few yrs since, cool, very cool. Would that he could check out this song on myyspace - Wm Chas Cooke - SABRINA

I basically agree. But it would be natural for him to leverage a bit of the association. After all, he could have let his last name remain "Coles" instead of changing it to "Cole" like Nathaniel and oldest brother Eddie. Doesn't matter now. He's his own man. BTW, his voice and approach is somewhat different from Nat's. I think we just fill in the gaps with what we want to hear and see.
