Saturday (February 6th), Grammy Award-winning vocalist Natalie Cole celebrates her 60th birthday. Cole underwent a successful kidney transplant last May and is now recovered and touring. In fact, she’s performing tonight at the City Wintery in New York. On Wednesday (February 10) , she will be one of several artists invited to perform at the White House as part of In Performance at the White House: A Celebration of Music From the Civil Rights Era. The event will be televised Thursday on PBS stations.
It was in 1991 that Natalie, the daughter of jazz and pop legend Nat “King” Cole, released her most popular album, Unforgettable: With Love, a collection of jazz standards that also featured – thanks to modern technology – the title song “Unforgettable” as a duet with her late father. Today, she has more than 25 solo albums including her latest, Still Unforgettable. That CD won a Grammy for Best Traditional Pop Vocal Album.
Among Natalie’s many memorable songs are “This Will Be,” “Inseparable” and “Miss You Like Crazy.”
