The Masters - Mel Torme, June Christy, Nat King Cole and Sarah Vaughn

No, not all together - two separate videos.
note: I was privileged to experience live viewing of the Nat King Cole Show, short lived and discontinued because he was a black performer and NBC could not find sponsors for the show. It was an extraordinary show.

How High the Moon with June Christie, Nat King Cole and Mel Torme; three of the best in their prime, you can’t touch that. My dad was a big Nat King Cole fan, I can remember watching the tv show with him. Thanks for posting the links, Mark.

I don't dispute their artitry---but attributing any longevity of the show to reticent sponsors and racism is a stretch. I would only believe that if it were a quote from the executive in charge of the cancellation. It is not all about race.------ew

It was 100% bigotry. From Britannica.cm:
“The Nat King Cole Show, which debuted on NBC television in 1956. The show fell victim to the bigotry of the times, however, and was canceled after one season; few sponsors were willing to be associated with a Black entertainer.”

Well, you’re right when you say “It’s not all about race”. But in Cole’s case it was.
