Biography

The daughter of jazz and pop legend Nat King Cole, Natalie Cole has forged a successful career in two phases, doing R&B/urban contemporary and then jazz-based pop. From 1975 until 1983, she teamed with the writing/production team of Chuck Jackson and Marvin Yancey for a string of hit albums and singles. She made her stylistic shift to jazz-based pop with the chart-topping, Grammy-winning 1991 album Unforgettable: With Love, which eventually sold over five million copies. The title track featured her doing a duet with her father via electronic elaboration. She continued the jazzy trend with Take a Look in 1993. ~ Ron Wynn
