Guest Artists

Natalie Cole
Before she captured 1975’s Best New Artist Grammy, Cole appealed to fans and critics alike with her versatility as an R&B, pop, and jazz singer of the first order. Her canon includes such no. 1’s as “This Will Be (An Everlasting Love),” “Inseparable,” “Our Love,” “I’ve Got Love on My Mind,” “Pink Cadillac,” and “Miss You Like Crazy.” The nine-time Grammy winner continues to astonish with her vocal dexterity and her intimate, knowing way with a lyric and melody.

Just as she lovingly partnered with her late father, the legendary Nat “King” Cole, for a posthumous duet on the title track on the 1991 masterpiece, they are reunited again on her recently released album, Still Unforgettable, to sing the delightful “Walkin’ My Baby Back Home,” first recorded by Cole’s father in the early ‘50s. Cole also looked beyond songs made famous by her father. “I decided to go deeper into the American songbook and not just get songs from my father, but also from Frank Sinatra, Lena Horne, Sammy Davis Jr., and Peggy Lee. The lyrics of these songs are about life. As a singer, they take me and my audience on a winsome journey.”
