On December 17th, 1957, it was LIGHTS OUT on “The Nat ‘King� Cole Show.�
Despite being the voice that built Capitol Records, Nat “King� Cole’s groundbreaking television show was rejected by Madison Avenue, unwilling to sponsor America’s first black television host. Now, on the night of his final broadcast, Nat must grapple with the complexities of his psyche, personified by his best friend and alter-ego, Sammy Davis Jr., and decide whether to quietly step out of the spotlight or go out with a bang.
