I'm proud of our court. It knocks back a lot of the propaganda the Communists put out about the way America treats her Negroes.

The people who know nothing about music are the ones always talking about it.

I'm not playing for other musicians. We're trying to reach the guy who works all day and wants to spend a buck at night. We'll keep him happy.

When I first organized the King Cole Trio back in 1937, we were strictly what you would call an instrumental group. To break the monotony, I would sing a few songs here and there between the playing. I sang things I had known over the years. I wasn't trying to give it any special treatment, just singing. I noticed thereafter people started requesting more singing, and it was just one of those things.

Unforgettable in every way, and forever more, that's how you'll stay.

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

If you ever plan to motor west, travel my way, take the highway that is best. Get your kicks, on Route Sixty-six.
