And yes, she sang this song tonight. With her Dad.
I had hoped that she would sing this number in
concert tonight at the Eastman Theatre, Rochester, NY.
And she did. The screen dropped down quietly, and
there was Nat King Cole, backing up his daughter
Natalie Cole. This duet absolutely brought big
tears to my eyes.
Nat King Cole has been one of my all-time favorites
since I was a kid. Natalie Cole was the Eastman's
first concert for the 10th Rochester International Jazz Festival.
Miss Cole walked elegantly onto the stage, and began
singing nonstop. I have to say that Miss Cole is smooth
like velvet. No. Smoother. I could have sat for two more
hours and listened to her sing. Classy, classy lady, and
a performance of perfection.
So tonight, with my mother, cousin, her husband and
daughter all here from Texas,
I watched and listened to a wonderful concert,
and saw Nat and Natalie sing "Unforgettable" together.
And. Yes. It. Was!

same song that introduced her to me... she is one of my favorites... i envy you and ur family hearing her sing it live... wish i was there...
ReplyDeletei remember my high school friends back in the late 80"s... they dont understand why i have to be listening to Nat King Cole and the others... back then it's Madonna, Tears For Fears and so on and so forth... I am the cast out kid when it comes to music... but now that we are matured enough, with all the hazards and and stress of life, they understand why a soothing, calming and smooth music over a bottle of wine and beer is so relaxing...
ReplyDeleteNatalie Cole is one of my favorites... i remember singing with that duet... hahaha! confused if who will i copy, natalie or nat....
