Natalie Cole’s famous and popular songs

Let me introduce some songs by Natalie Cole, the American singer-songwriter who passed away in 2015.

Known for her sexy and beautiful voice, she is also famous as the daughter of Nat King Cole, the legendary jazz pianist and vocalist.

Although she disliked being seen merely as “Nat King Cole’s daughter” and intentionally pursued a different musical path from her father, as she grew older she began to take pride in being his daughter.

In 1991, she released Unforgettable…

with Love, a collection of covers of her father’s songs, and drew tremendous attention by realizing a posthumous duet with him through overdubbing.

Now, please enjoy the music of Natalie Cole, a singer who inherited remarkable DNA and overcame the pressure that came with it.

Natalie Cole’s Greatest and Most Popular Songs (41–50)

Jump StartNatarī Kōru

For Natalie Cole herself, it became her first Top 40 hit in seven years.

The seven-year gap seems to have been due to things like divorce, drug addiction, and alcoholism.

Although she made a comeback, she continued to struggle with the aftereffects afterward.

This track is a distinctly 80s-style, danceable number.

LoversNatarī Kōru

It kicks off with a bouncy, boogie-woogie pop rhythm right from the intro.

The effortless, scatting-like ease that naturally gets your body moving feels so comforting to the ear that you can listen to it over and over.

And the powerful drive of the vocals, performance, and chorus really lets you feel how remarkable a singer Natalie Cole is.

Ahmad’s bluesNatalie Cole

This is a song included in Natalie Cole’s 1996 album “Stardust.” Natalie Cole was the biological daughter of the famous jazz singer Nat King Cole.

From her debut in 1975 until her passing in 2015, she left behind many classic songs.

At LastNatalie Cole

Natalie Cole’s “At Last,” delivered in 2021, is a powerful and deeply resonant jazz ballad classic.

Featured on the album “Unforgettable…With Love,” released on February 4, 2022, its allure lies in the profound depth of Cole’s expressiveness.

Her vocals are both strong and supple, as if hinting at a long-awaited moment of union finally fulfilled.

The measured tempo, emotionally stirring lyrics, and moving vocal performance blend perfectly, making this a wholeheartedly recommended piece for anyone who loves jazz ballads.

Cry BabyNatarī Kōru

This is a cover of Janis Joplin’s “Maybe,” a song that represents the 1960s.

The gospel-style call-and-response and Natalie’s near-shouting, powerful vocals add a spicy lift to the track.

It feels so much like her own song that you can hardly tell it’s a cover.
