Lionel Frederick Cole (brother of Nat King Cole) has come out from the shadow cast by his famous brother, although he sounds a bit like Nat. His phrasing is closer to that of Frank Sinatra or Billie Holiday than that of his brother and his timing swings a little more. His vocals--suave, elegant, formidable, and articulate--are among the most respected in jazz.
