Natalie Cole

Natalie Maria Cole was an American singer, songwriter, and actress, the daughter of legendary jazz pianist Nat King Cole. She emerged as a major R&B artist in the mid-1970s with hits like "This Will Be" and "Inseparable," which earned her two Grammy Awards including Best New Artist in 1976. After struggling with substance abuse in the 1980s, Cole made a triumphant comeback with her 1991 album "Unforgettable... with Love," a tribute to her father featuring digitally remastered duets. The title track, a virtual duet with her late father, became a massive hit and earned her six Grammy Awards. She continued recording and performing until her death from heart failure in 2015, leaving behind a legacy as one of the most versatile and talented vocalists of her generation.
