Take a Look

Natalie Cole is one of the finest singers of her generation. During the late-1970s, her run of albums for Capitol with Marvin Yancy (her then husband) and Chuck Jackson producing quite rightly put her at the very top of the US pop and R and B charts. She also earned a reputation as a stellar live act. Sadly, personal issues and drug abuse made much of the 1980s a patchy era for Cole, but in the 1990s she came back strong and re-established herself at the top of the tree - this time embracing her gift for jazz, big band and the Great American Songbook. Her first foray into this, Unforgettable With Love, was a tribute to her father and a huge multi-platinum success. Buoyed by this, Natalie produced this wonderful follow-up. Choosing not to repeat the formula, Natalie widened the range of material to cover other classic tunes - try her versions of Cry Me A River, Crazy He Calls Me and As Time Goes By, all of which are gorgeous. When she does cover Nat, she picks some great uptempo numbers and has fun - try Let There Be Love and Calypso Blues. Much of the rest of the material is more jazz than before, and more up-tempo - to great effect. Her versions of I'm Beginning To See The Light, Swingin' Shepherd Blues, It's Sand,man and Too Close For Comfort are simply superb, the vocals on the latter, in particular, really letting rip at the end. To cap it all, she even does a great swinging version of Lovers, her own song first featured on her late-1970s Thankful album. A real treat and great in anyone's collection.

Great Album Great Songs , Loved It

Natalie is sadly missed

This is a great mixture of songs by Natalie Cole,just perfect!!!! Eddie r 😎

Exceptional voice

EXCELLENT

Quite nice

Even since the 1991 release of Unforgettable, Natalie's recording career has taken off in a somewhat unexpected way, with many albums featuring her interpretations of the old standards.Not wanting to dismiss any of her earlier or subequent pop and/or r'n'b recordings, but this kind of material does seem to suit her very well.
