Editorial Reviews :
In the 1970s, Natalie Cole made a spectacular debut. And, after a number of personal and professional setbacks in the '80s, she bounced back with her splendid 1991 rendition of her daddy's hit, 'Unforgettable,' where she electronically performed a 'duet' with her father. This CD reunites Cole with producer by Tommy LiPuma, who produced 'Unforgettable' and was the hit maker behind George Benson and Diana Krall. This collection is a classic blend of jazz-inflected pop, with the best and the brightest in the business. Backed by a plethora of stars, including trumpeter Roy Hargrove, bassist Christian McBride, pianist Joe Sample, and drummer Lewis Nash, Cole's lithe, Ella Fitzgerald-tinged vocals are showcased in a number pleasing settings. Whether it's the Brazilian sound of Sergio Mendes's 'So Many Stars,' the scat-happy 'My Baby Just Cares for Me,' or the big band swing of 'It's Crazy' and 'Soon,' courtesy of the Clayton-Hamilton Orchestra, Cole projects her aura on these songs once sung by Sarah Vaughan, Barbra Streisand, Nina Simone, and Dinah Washington. Natalie Cole is a jazzy soul survivor in the literal sense of the term, and this recording represents her finest hour.
Buyer Reviews :
Beginning as an Aretha Franklin clone, then sliding into her own soulful niche, graduating into contempoary pop and then moving into the rarified atmosphere of pop standards, Natalie Cole has repeatedly reinvented herself as an artist, with each incarnation upping the ante of quality and range. Now she's a jazz singer with a splendidly arranged and produced album propelled by a superior selection of songs which, though most are from the past, sound totally of today. She's savvy, she's wise, she's smart, she's sassy, she's smooth and once again she's moved forward. This splendid album will, by word of mouth, take in big sales and go on to garner big honors. Never standing still, never content to settle in one place, Natalie once again has charged ahead with dazzingly results.
