RIP: Natalie Cole

[JavaMan]

Natalie Cole, the Grammy-winning singer who had hits with such songs as "This Will Be" and "Our Love" and recorded "Unforgettable ... With Love," a best-selling album of songs made famous by her late father, Nat King Cole, has died. She was 65.

Cole, who had struggled with a variety of health issues in recent years, died Thursday night, according to publicist Maureen O’Connor. The cause of death was reportedly congestive heart failure.

She was a beautiful woman with a beautiful voice. I still listen to her album "Unforgetable" often. Will miss her smile.

Sad...she was my favorite, wish she R.I.P.

She stepped into her fathers exceptionally large and talented shoes --and filled them well. This is a sad day for those of us who thought that Nat and Natalie were both King Coles!!

She, along with her father, were mega talents. I always loved this duet:

Natalie was able to do some "Virtual Duets" with her Dad, Nat King Cole.

Wish she reunions with her father in the heaven

I remember Natalie from the early 70s when she was a student at UMass. On Friday evenings she would occasionally take to the stage for a song or two at a popular Friday night watering hole in Amherst. Many of us knew then, that she had a future in music.

Chokes me up, though I loved her Dad the most.

It's hard to believe that Natalie was 65! I feel old.

Nat lived to be only 45.

A terrible loss to the music world. And she died way to young.
