1. Cole, Nat "King" (RockHall.com)
   "Cole's drummerless trio was an innovation, and no less an authority than Count Basie marveled at their improvisational interplay: 'Those cats used to read each other's minds—it was unbelievable.' Early stirrings of rock and roll can be detected in such swinging, lingo-filled tunes as 'Straighten Up and Fly Right' and '(Get Your Kicks On) Route 66,' recorded in 1943 and 1946, respectively, by the King Cole Trio."
   
   "The Fifties and Sixties found Cole recording with various orchestras, including Nelson Riddle's and Billy May's. While his work from this period shared little with the rock and roll revolution that was under way, Cole's broader influence on the idiom as a musical pioneer and as a popular star is undeniable." 9-03
