Cole's psuedonyms
[edit]Several sources indicate that Cole recorded using various psuedonyms, in order to avoid problems with Capitol, which had him under contract. One biography lists his aliases as Eddie Laguna, Sam Schmaltz, Nature Boy and A Guy, "or whatever name for himself he could think of, but only as an instrumentalist, never as a vocalist."[1] Discogs.com lists "Shorty" Nadine, Aye Guy, Eddie Laguna, Lord Calvert (2), Nature Boy (14), and The "King" as aliases.[2]
This information should be in the article somewhere, perhaps in relation to Capitol Records. Larry Koenigsberg (talk) 00:10, 17 January 2024 (UTC)
