In the early 1950s, Nat King Cole appeared on television (not on his own TV show later in his career) with so much make-up that he was effectively in whiteface. In the commercial video "Unforgettable," he can be seen singing "Nature Boy" under heavy white make-up. Good luck with your project, Gloria.
