A Brief One from Doug Draper, Niagara At Large
January 1st, 2016
“This will be an everlasting love.”
Those were the first words she sang in her very first hit ‘This Will Be’, a song for which she also won her very first Grammy Award for best R&B vocal performance in 1976.
Years later, in 1991, there was her fabulous album ‘Unforgettable With Love’ – a collection of songs made famous by her legendary father, the late Nat ‘King’ Cole’ and featuring moving duet with her late father on the title song, made possible through he wonders of modern recording technology.
Natalie Cole’s death late this past December 31st at 65 was made public this January 1st with the following statement from her family – “Natalie fought a fierce, courageous battle, dying how she lived … with dignity, strength and honor. Our beloved Mother and sister will be greatly missed and remain UNFORGETTABLE in our hearts forever.”
Trusting that NAL subscribers don’t mind my posting this one as a longtime fan of both Coles.
