“H.R. 4797, to redesignate the facility of the United States Postal Service located at 265 South Western Avenue, Los Angeles, California, as the Nat King Cole Post Office, was introduced by the gentleman from California (Mr. Becerra), on May 22, 2002. Nat King Cole was born Nathaniel Adams Coles in 1919 in Montgomery, Alabama. He moved to the great jazz city of Chicago when he was four because his father, a Baptist minister, had accepted pastorship of the True Light Baptist Church. In Chicago, Nat King Cole's mother, Perlina, directed the choir at her husband's church and introduced all the Coles children, Edward, Nathaniel, Eddie Mae, Evelyne, Issac and Lionel, to music early on. All four of the Coles sons went on to become professional musicians. Nat's singing career began early. He was just four when he performed, 'Yes, We Have No Bananas.' He went on to take piano lessons and play the organ in his father's church.”
