To make up for the 2015 shortfall, the State Department said more emails will be released during the first week of 2016. Even so, the Republican National Committee slammed Clinton for keeping those emails on her private server.
The daughter of legendary crooner, Nat King Cole, who was just 8-years-old when her father recorded his first album in Spanish, died at 65.
Cole has been nominated for numerous Grammy awards over the years, winning her first in 1976 for Best New Artist and Best R&B Vocal Performance, Female. As a young woman, she had listened to Franklin and Janis Joplin and for years was reluctant to perform her father’s material.

Another father-daughter duet, “When I Fall in Love”, won a 1996 Grammy for best pop collaboration with vocals, and a follow-up album, “Still Unforgettable”, won for best traditional pop vocal album of 2008.

Yet Cole overcame these tribulations with such glorious consistency that it was a shock to begin the New Year hearing news of her passing the night of December 31 at age 65 from congestive heart disease. But she went to the University of MA in Amherst with no plans of an entertainment career.
