Tributes paid to singer Natalie Cole, who has died aged 65

The hits helped Cole win the prestigious Grammy for Best New Artist, one of a total of nine Grammys she earned throughout her career. But her career faded in the early 1980s and she battled heroin, crack cocaine and alcohol addiction for many years.

One of the Grammy-winner’s most memorable songs was Unforgettable, the “duet” she did with her late father.

By the time Natalie Cole was 11, she was performing alongside her father on his TV show. After the success of “Inseparable”, she collected a Grammy in 1976 for the song “Sophisticated Lady (She’s A Different Lady)”. Your music is everlasting, Ms. Cole: Rest in peace. But she also struggled depression, a drug overdose, and 3 divorces. Just listen to her stratospheric, 11th-hour wailing in the final choruses of 1977’s “I’ve Got Love on My Mind”.

In 2008, Cole began to suffer from kidney problems as a result of hepatitis C, which she attributed to her historic use of drugs. This past autumn, she canceled several concerts scheduled for November and December, citing a recent medical procedure.

On the title cut, “Unforgettable”, she sang along with her father’s taped version to create a memorable duet.

Cole eventually became active in raising awareness of Hepatitis C. And, she said in the interview, she still wished her father could see her. Cole’s older sister, Carol “Cookie” Cole, died the day she received the transplant. While in college, she performed with bands and set aside plans for being a child psychologist.

Cole was born in 1950 to Nat “King” Cole and his wife, Maria Ellington Cole, a onetime vocalist with Duke Ellington who was no relation to the great bandleader. In 1989, she married Rufus Fischer, that marriage ended in 1995. The Recording Academy also released a statement. In a tweet, actress Marlee Matlin called Cole a lovely songbird and a great actress, writing “she is now singing in heaven”.

“As the new year was ushered in, an angelic instrument moved on”. “In fashion, they talk about, ‘That dress is wearing her, she’s not wearing the dress, it looks too ideal for her, ‘ which to me is not natural”, she told writer Richard Harrington.
