Natalie Cole has died at age 65

On New Year’s Eve, the nine-time Grammy-winning singer died in a Los Angeles hospital, her family said on Friday.

“Unforgettable … With Love” won multiple Grammys, including the 1992 Album of the Year, Record of the Year, Traditional Pop Vocal Performance, Song of the Year, Arrangement Accompanying Vocals and Producer of the Year.

Our beloved Mother and sister will be greatly missed and remain UNFORGETTABLE in our hearts forever. The hit song “Unforgettable” blended together recordings of her father and her own tracks, making it sound like the two were singing a duet. Over a career spanning almost four decades, she was a master of material ranging from contemporary pop and R&B ballads to dance music to the standards that had been her father’s turf.

She rocketed to the top of the charts with her debut album Inseparable, in May 1975. She wrote: “I am so sad to hear about Natalie Cole’s passing”. Singer Natalie Cole, famous for such hits as “This Will Be (An Everlasting Love)”, died Thursday night at 65.

Cole achieved her greatest success with the 1991 album “Unforgettable…”

In 2009, Natalie Cole received a much-needed kidney transplant from a direct donation made to her from the family of a South American fan who knew she was in need. In 2009, she undergoes a kidney transplant.

Cole’s ace in the hole was the fact she really could sing.

The album was a sensation, even though it was criticized by those who believed she was not moving forward in her career with its release. Cole is survived by her son Robert Adam Yancy, who is also a singer.

Natalie picked up several Grammy nominations throughout her glittering career and eventually won her first in 1976 for Best New Artist and Best R&B Vocal Performance, Female. Not only did she inspire others, but she empowered them by her brutal honesty of her struggles of drug addiction in her book titled Angel on My Shoulder.

Aretha Franklin also issued a statement, saying that she had to “hold back the tears”, adding, “She fought for so long”.

Eight-time Grammy Award victor Natalie Cole performs in front of more than 500 students from Los Angeles-area public schools to promote the Grammy Foundation’s music education programs on 01 February 2007 in Los Angeles.

Cole showed a world so cold to the idea of having a minority in media that it was possible and wonderful, and silenced all the haters by her lovely voice. She repeatedly sought rehab but later was diagnosed with Hepatitis C and liver disease. That same year, Cole was arrested in Toronto, Canada, for heroin possession, which she discussed in her autobiography.

“I didn’t realize how close I was to checking out”, Cole, said.
