Rimsky-Korsakov, a Russian composer noted for his skill in orchestration, completed his first symphony at the age of 22, while serving as a midshipman with the Imperial Russian Navy. In 1871, he became a professor at St. Petersburg Conservatory, where he taught many famous future composers, including Igor Stravinsky. As a member of a group of nationalist composers known as "The Five," Rimsky-Korsakov aimed to write music of distinctively Russian character. Who were the group's other members? 
Originally a jazz pianist, Nat King Cole performed in Los Angeles nightclubs with his trio in the 1930s but did not achieve commercial success until he began singing. His warm, velvety voice brought a personal touch to his ballads, and he became internationally popular for his broodingly romantic hits, such as "Unforgettable." He went on to become one of the first African-American artists to star in a radio show and to host a network television show. How did he get the nickname "King"?
Lewis, an entertainer known for his slapstick comedy, became popular in the 1940s, through his partnership with Dean Martin. They performed together in nightclubs as well as 16 films before parting ways in 1956. Lewis then went on to direct, produce, and star in The Nutty Professor and many other movies. He left filmmaking in the 1970s in order to focus on supporting the Muscular Dystrophy Association (MDA).
