Performer: Natalie Cole
Distributor: WEA (distr)

Notes: As the title clearly implies, 2008's STILL UNFORGETTABLE is Natalie Cole's thematic follow-up to her 1991 hit album, UNFORGETTABLE, WITH LOVE, which was also a tribute to her father--the late, great jazz/pop icon Nat "King" Cole. Once again Cole presents a "virtual" duet with her dad, with his vocals edited into her new recording of the breezy "Walkin' My Baby Back Home." This UNFORGETTABLE also features various entries in the Great American Songbook, including a lightly swinging rendition of "Come Rain or Come Shine" and a swooning version of "You Go to My Head." Although this UNFORGETTABLE is far from unpredictable, it's an enjoyable outing that once again highlights Cole's easygoing, traditional-minded take on standards.

JazzTimes (p.78) - "Cole is at the top of her game....As shaped by such superlative arrangers as John Clayton, Patrick Williams, Nan Schartz and Victor Vanacore, these tunes are exemplary readings of exemplary tunes."

The daughter of celebrated singer Nat "King" Cole, Natalie Cole signed to Capitol Records in 1975 and went right to the Top 10 with her debut single "This Will Be," followed by two more hits in quick succession. An increasing drug dependency took a professional and personal toll. But after a successful spell in rehab, Cole re-launched her career in `87 with the album EVERLASTING, which spawned the transatlantic hit "Pink Cadillac." In 1991, Cole recorded a "duet" with her father on his original recording of the song "Unforgettable." The accompanying album won seven Grammy Awards, and sent her in a more jazz/pop direction from the early `90s and onward.
