Arts and Culture Minister Nathi Mthethwa has joined the worldwide community in mourning the death of Natalie Cole, who died at the age of 65 in Los Angeles on Thursday night. She was, after all, the daughter of Nat King Cole, whose velvety baritone was one of the most distinctive voices of the 20th century.
She’s survived by a son and other family members. Their brother, Nat Kelly Cole, died in 1995. “I’m a fighter, not a chump”, she said. “She fought for so long. She represented the Cole legend of excellence and class quite well”.

Unforgettable won six Grammys, including Album of the Year.

It was my way of saying goodbye because when he passed away, I was in school, actually, on the East Coast in boarding school when he passed. And I think it was about the trials and tribulations that she was going through at the time. “I owed that to him”.
Ms. Cole appeared on television, including on holiday specials such as the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day parade, Christmas programs and Dick Clark’s New Year’s Eve celebration, and on shows including “Touched by an Angel”, “Grey’s Anatomy” and “Law & Order: Special Victims Unit”. “I have seen the edge”.
The family eventually included five children.
Cole continued to tour, receiving dialysis three times per week between performances.

Finally, in May 2009, she had an operation and had one of her kidneys replaced. “I was a heroin addict, sharing needles with the crowd I was with”, she herself admitted to People magazine in 2008.
