So underrated. It's criminal. Same with Teena Marie, Phyllis Hyman, Mary Wells to name a few.

[PeaceFan]

I saw Natalie in concert in 1991 for the " Unforgettable " Tour!! She sang EVERY SINGLE Song from that Album and sang 5 SONGS for her Encore..It was SOOO INCREDIBLE, I will NEVER forget her!!!!

[coreycooksey]

First African American woman to win for album of the year! She needs to be in the rock and roll hall of fame!!!!

[boseknows]

I saw her live in her jazz era. What a voice. It was one of the best concerts I've ever been to. RIP Natalie Cole.

[amberjay]

Yeah Thee Natalie Cole she needs to be talked about more. Her contribution is massive to multiple genres 💐💐💐

[derrickbelmar]

I miss Natalie and I loved her voice!!

[d_roi]

She could blow, as the old folks would say. Natalie Cole had a great voice that showcased range, depth, and versatility. Watch her guest appearance on The Carol Burnett Show. She could sing anything! Great video, again, Young Sir.

[Trollbot]

One of the most gorgeous women who ever lived…

[antd]

Natalie Cole could hold her own among the divas. Truly underrated!

[CelestialGatez]

Her voice is one of a kind and very distinctive. Her musical contributions definitely deserve recognition.

[sharonadams]

Loved me some Natalie!! From the opening notes of This Will Be until her last. Continue to Rest In power!

I was a senior in higher school and working part time at a record store when the “Unforgettable” album came out. We couldn’t keep it on the shelves. It was huge!

[AllenLewis]

Unforgettable is one of my favorite Natalie Cole albums. I love Natalie Cole’s music. Nice video. 👏👏

[baxatakbaxatak]

The worlds of jazz, R&B, and the Great American Songbook have been lesser without Natalie’s bright light. She was an absolute queen. While we all wish she were still with us, we can take comfort that she has long since reunited with her beloved father.

[JillCheese]

I know what you announced on IG, and- although I'm sad (but happy for you)- I'm gonna cherish every upload you post. Thank you, Milik💝 Can't wait to watch when I get off work!

....when Natalie passed, I thought she FINALLY was going to get the respect & recognition for opening the Doors for Whitney Houston, and how "Unforgettable" reignited "The Classic Songbook", & gave careers to Michael Buble & Harry Connick Jr. ...then, Prince, David Bowie, Glen Frey, Tom Petty & Maurice White at least WE

[BryanJones-bc]

Speak on her gift and talent to excel in every genre of music even Spanish. She was an exceptional Queen and talent. She never tried to outshine any other singer, just stand next to them. That is an example of a true regal Queen ❤

[zezah]

I loved her voice in the jazz genre. She was such a wonderful artist, and I wish she could have stayed with us a little bit longer 🕊 . Great work as always BMA! I'm excited for what's next from you!!

[jalenrudolph]

It’s crazy me and Unc was just talking about how Natalie Cole doesn’t get tributes. Thank you for this!
