Natalie Cole


2015 ended on a sad note with Natalie Cole’s death on December 31st at the age of 65. She began her career as a successful soul singer – “This Will Be” is one of the sassiest and best examples of that genre – and later moved on to perform the standards of an earlier age. For better or worse, she’s probably best known for her posthumous duet “Unforgettable” with her father, the great singer and pianist Nat King Cole. I’m normally not a fan of virtual duets, especially when one of the partners has to be summoned back from the grave, but this one’s a glorious exception.
 
My personal Natalie Cole favorites:
 
Unforgettable
I’ve Got Love On My Mind
Inseparable
Someone That I Used To Love
