Natalie Cole captured the Best New Artist Grammy® in 1975, confirming her popularity as an R&B, pop and jazz singer in her own right.
Her album, Unforgettable ... With Love came out in 1991, receiving six Grammys®, including Album and Record of the Year. It spent five weeks at #1, and sold more than eight million copies in the U.S. alone. In this album, she lovingly partnered with her late father, the legendary Nat "King" Cole for a posthumous duet.
She savored her time after the album, writing a riveting autobiography, and waited until she was ready to return to songs that fulfilled her heart and soul.
Still Unforgettable was released in September 2009, and won two Grammys®, and earned Cole a NAACP Award for Best Jazz Artist. In this 21st album, she reunited again with her father's soulful sound, singing as a duet "Walkin' My Baby Back Home." The theme of this album tapped upon the American Songbook, including songs from her father, Frank Sinatra, Lena Horne, Sammy Davis, Jr., and Peggy Lee. The lyrics of these songs are about life, including "The Best is Yet To Come," "Come Rain or Come Shine," and "Nice 'N' Easy."
