This #BlackHistoryMonth, we’re shining the spotlight on @natkingcolemusic’s performance of “Mona Lisa” on the @edsullivanshow from March of 1954.
Originally written by Ray Evans and Jay Livingston for the movie ‘Captain Carey, USA,’ Cole recorded a version of “Mona Lisa” under the moniker Little Georgie Benson, and is one of his four recordings in the @recordingacademy GRAMMYs Hall of Fame. Cole was also awarded the GRAMMY’s Lifetime Achivement Award in 1990.
