Magic Style Of Pat Rolle

From the back cover: Every performer has his idol and Pat is no different. He has just about every album that Nat "King" Cole has recorded and when people listen to him sing they often remark of his likeness to Cole. When Questioned about his feelings of being compared to "King" Cole, he replies, "If I can be the man that "King" Cole was I would be grateful", and, to him I dedicate the selection "Mona Lisa".

Even though he has never had any formal vocal training, part of his success can be attributed to the professional help and guidance of pianist arranger Martin Conliffe, prior to his engagement at the exclusive Lyford Cay Club of Nassau and The Drumbeat Club, Pat performed as vocalist with Martin Conlife's popular "Montagu Three Plus1".
