Crazy Facts About Music Everyone Should Know (Pt.176) #musicfacts #musichistory #musicshorts #shorts

Did you know? James Blunt developed scurvy at university after eating only meat for two months to annoy his vegetarian classmates. A Grateful Dead tribute band in America called "Jerry’s Middle Finger" honors Jerry Garcia, who lost part of his finger in a childhood accident. Castrati, singers castrated before puberty to preserve their unique voices, were crucial in Italian operas and church choirs, with a failed attempt by the Pope to ban them in 1748; and when Nat King Cole moved to an upper-class L.A. neighborhood, he humorously pushed back against racial prejudice by agreeing that he didn't want "undesirables" moving in either.

Brilliant response by Nat King Cole 🤣👍💯.

Not only does he sing the absolute greatest “Christmas Song” but he’s quick with that comeback also!

[ToriWills]

Nat King Cole's response was epic! He was a class act.

[Johnnynix]

Nat King Cole was one sophisticated and honorable man. His daughter is a beautiful lady also

I can recall the scandal of Nat King Cole having a Kraft Mayonnaise commercial during the show...Black folks use mayo?!?!?!

[Anonymousguy-ds]

My dad looks just like jerry Garcia....he actually gets asked all the time if he is jerry Garcia. Fun fact....jerry Garcia died on my 18th birthday....i mean...not so fun....but a little ironic.

[TC-dwwg]

Scary stuff cutting off children’s testicles!
Love me my Jerry!

[jonboy]

I would've told the HOA to suck it!

[illicitryan]

So no one gonna talk about the boys who's balls were cut off as a child yet Nats "witty response" is what's important to yall?! Shows a lot about why America is uo shits creek right now. Good job!

[Platanis]

The point is he preferred to go there! 😉
Another point is that the homeowners actually expected him to acknowledge a polite and discreet language...🙄

[tedcrocker]

You don't get scurvy from eating straight meat. Let me tell you something somebody got him because they were annoyed with him.

[SP-upxb]

I think they did ghis to MJ... BUT LIKELY CHEMICALLY to keep his voice high. It messed him up though.

[bjohnston]

Lots of people don't want musicians living in their neighborhood...too noisy and shady friends

[mikelight]

are you talking about the Vienna choir boys.

[GyppoMarx]

Nats middle finger was a bit more subtle❤
