A Tribute to Nat King Cole

Nat King Cole tribute a smashing success!

Friends of Jazz was back in full swing celebrating “those lazy, hazy, crazy days of summer.” That’s when vocalist Porter Singletary, accompanied on drums and keyboard, offered a delightful evening of the music of Nat King Cole.  The July 11 event was held at the Fullerton Elks Lodge with 90 people in attendance. Guests enjoyed some great tunes, a BBQ buffet, silent auction, 50/50, a wine pull and lots of dancing. Porter sang favorites such as Mona Lisa, Too Young, Nature Boy, Fly Me to the Moon and more. He added some Sinatra, Motown and contemporary favorites, as well. Kudos to the National Charity League helpers and to the silent auction team for their wonderful baskets. Proceeds from the event will support young jazz musicians from fourth grade through college.
