Obit: Nat King Cole's Brother

     The brother of Montgomery-born Nat King Cole, also a lifelong performer, has died. He was 88.
     The N.Y. Times has the story this morning:

Mr. (Freddy) Cole was an all-state athlete in high school with dreams of playing professional football, but a hand injury derailed things. “I couldn’t continue playing football, so the next best thing I could do was play the piano,” he said in a short 2006 documentary, “The Cole Nobody Knows,” which took its title from his 1977 album of the same name. “It came out to be my blessing.”
