I don't think that Nat King Cole is mentioned in this catagory because his music didn't transcend to mainstream radio, TV, pop music etc. I am not sure but I think that is the way it was.

I do remember that MTV wouldn't put black videos on their channel until MJ came along and his popularity couldn't be denied across all races.

I personally love Nat King Cole. But I am not sure he was the pop sensation that MJ was.
