I must report some disturbing news. On December 31, 2015, the famous daughter
of Nat "King" Cole passed away at age 65.
Natalie Cole had modest success in the
1970s with such songs as “This Will Be” and “Our Love” and greater success with
“Inseparable.” She then had a period when her popularity fell way off.
In the 1990s, Ms. Cole had
additional success with a series of standards previously recorded by her
father. The Grammy Award winning album “Unforgettable... with Love” included
such standards as “Unforgettable” (digitally altered to include both Natalie's
and Nat's voices), “Nature Boy” and “Mona Lisa.”
Natalie had a somewhat sporadic
acting career through the 1990s, culminating in a 2001 performance in Livin'
for Love: The Natalie Cole Story, for which she received an NAACP Image
Award.
We wish a fond farewell to the
lovely and talented Ms. Cole.
Natalie Cole [1950 – 2015]
