Natalie Cole, American Singer, Songwriter, Dies at 65

Quote:
Natalie Cole, the American singer who overcame battles with substance abuse and the long shadow of her famous father to earn worldwide success of her own, has died. She was 65.

Cole died Thursday night at Cedar Sinai Hospital in Los Angeles "due to complications from ongoing health issues," according to a statement from her family.

"It is with heavy hearts that we bring to you all the news of our Mother and sister's passing. Natalie fought a fierce, courageous battle, dying how she lived ... with dignity, strength and honor," her sisters, Timolin Cole and Casey Cole, and son, Robert Yancy, said in the statement. "Our beloved Mother and sister will be greatly missed and remain unforgettable in our hearts forever."

The daughter of Nat "King" Cole built a chart-topping career with hits such as "This Will Be", "Inseparable" and "Our Love." She fought health problems for years and received a kidney transplant in 2009 after developing hepatitis.

Cole recently had to cancel planned tour stops, including one in Louisville, due to illness, according to WDRB.

Cole won nine Grammy Awards, including Album of the Year and Record of the Year in 1992 for "Unforgettable ... With Love," a virtual duet made with the recordings of her late father. The album sold 14 million copies.

Nat "King" Cole died of lung cancer in 1965 at age 45. Natalie Cole had just turned 15 at the time of her father's death.

R.I.P. Such a tragic loss, and so unexpected.

May she rest in peace, but God help me, the first thing on my mind is the SNL clip which offered a new album of Natalie Cole singing duets with other dead celebrities, including Tammy Wynette (alive at the time) who is seen saying Tammy: "I'm not dead..." Natalie: ♫ I'm not dead... ♪ Tammy: "...you f***ing bitch!" Natalie: ♫ ...you f***ing bitch!

Very sad news. I love her R&B music, and her albums of jazz standards, along with Linda Ronstadt's, encouraged me to explore (and fall in love with) the music of Frank Sinatra, Ella Fitzgerald, Sarah Vaughan, Dinah Washington, and, of course, Nat King Cole. Thank you and farewell, Ms. Cole.

She got her act together a long time ago, had a major comeback and seemed to be one of the few that came back from the depths of addiction.

For this to happen is sad.

What a week for celebrity deaths!

Hopefully 2016 will be better and we won't see as many.

Chaka Khan to sing at funeral of Natalie Cole

The funeral of late Grammy Award-winning singer Natalie Cole will be held on Monday (January 11) in Los Angeles, with Chaka Khan is expected to sing at the service.

Cole passed away on December 31, with her family recently revealing the cause of death to be heart failure brought on by a rare lung disease. She was 65.

A service for the singer – the daughter of Nat King Cole - will be held at West Angeles Church of God in Christ. She will then be buried next to her parents, sister and brother at Forest Lawn Memorial Park in Glendale.
