It’s Nat ‘King’ Cole week at Breath of Life. We have a collection of classics by the man himself as well as two tributes by his daughter, Natalie Cole, and another by one of the many R&B singers who idolized him, a young Marvin Gaye. Also, check the jukebox for two bonus tracks sent in by a reader: a Bunny Clarke reggae cover and a Lee Perry dub of last week’s Classic, "Be Thankful."
