Nat Cole had a younger brother who was also a jazz pianist and singer. Ike Cole was born in Chicago eight years Nat's junior. Ike's career was not as successful nor as easy as his older brother's but after a stint in the Army during the Korean War, he formed his own jazz quartet. They'd record an album, 1957's Get a Load o' Cole, and a single for Bally Records, the last recordings for the label before it went defunct. The album didn't make much of a mark anywhere for that reason, but still, he found some public renown by occasionally performing on television and regularly in Las Vegas.
Here is the discography surrounding Ike Cole's debut album:
