Natalie Cole, the daughter of Nat King Cole and former Duke Ellington Orchestra singer Maria Hawkins Ellington Cole, is an influential American singer-songwriter and performer who has won ten Grammy Awards. She achieved success in her early career as an R&B star, but smoothly changed her repertoire toward a more jazz oriented musical style in the early 1990's.
When Natalie Cole’s seminal Unforgettable…With Love came out in 1991, the jazz collection set a new standard for reinventing the Great American Songbook. The CD, which captured six Grammys, including Album and Record Of The Year, spent five weeks at No. 1 and sold more than eight million copies in the U.S. alone. Cole's most recent work includes the release of Leavin' in 2006, a cover albums of tracks made popular by Shelby Lynne, Kate Bush, Sting, Fiona Apple and more. Her latest album, Still Unforgettable released in 2008. The first single and video is another virtual duet with her father, a cover of his 1951 hit "Walkin' My Baby Back Home". At the 51st Grammy Awards in 2009 Still Unforgettable won the award for Best Traditional Pop Vocal Album.
