“Natalie Cole was a songbird supreme, whom we will remember for her nostalgic and thoughtful yet modern musical renditions, especially her hit, “Unforgettable”, where she paid tribute to the music of her father Nat King Cole”.
Cole is survived by her 38-year-old son Robert Adam Yancy. Cole died yesterday at the age of 65.
She performed at age 6 on her father’s Christmas album and began performing at 11. Nat King Cole died in 1965, when she was 15, a loss that “crushed” her, she said. The work won her a Grammy for best new artist. “With Love”, a 1991 collection of Cole singing her father’s classic songs. The album sold seven million copies in the USA alone.
During the recording of the LP, Cole said in an Associated Press interview, that she had to “throw out every R&B lick that I had ever learned and every pop trick I had ever learned”. Her jazzy voice telling stories that only one would dare of hearing made people dream again, and put music back into the bloodstream of their everyday life.
Van Morrison and Natalie Cole, “These Are the Days”. “Instead of 90-minute shows, maybe I’ll only do 60”. She ended up taking his place in the group and setting a medical career aside. Because I had never had the chance to really spend time working with him. Then, take a listen to her quietude and interiority on the gossamer-gentle wedding ballad “Inseparable”.
Cole also dappled into acting during her career.
She followed that with other hits, including “I’ve Got Love on My Mind”, “Our Love” and “Someone That I Used to Love”.
When Cole was young, her father, already a star when Cole was born in 1950, would bring home a variety of records for her and her siblings. A decade after losing her father, Nat’s little girl had been catapulted into the center of late 70s stardom.
The family’s statement said Cole died on Thursday night at Cedars-Sinai Hospital in Los Angeles from “ongoing health issues”.
The family eventually included five children.
Natalie Cole started singing seriously in college, performing in small clubs.
Her career was briefly derailed in the early 1980s as she battled drug addiction.
Cole, who had struggled with drug problems in the past, broke out in 1975 with the hit “This Will Be”, which won the Grammy for best R&B female performance and also earned her the Grammy for best new artist. That same year, Cole was arrested in Toronto, Canada, for heroin possession, which she discussed in her autobiography.
January 1, 2016 Just received the news that Natalie Cole has passed! The organ procurement agency One Legacy facilitated the donation from a family that had requested that their donor’s organ go to Cole if it was a match.
