Natalie Cole is such a dynamic entertainer (singer/actress); she really took the music industry by storm from the start!

Although my Mother had the 45 of "This Will Be," I became hooked on Natalie's voice after borrowing a neighbor's albums.  I was too young to get a job, so borrowing the albums was cool with me.  I wore out every Natalie Cole album that I could get my hands on, especially Natalie...Live!   I even wore out Stephen Bishop's "A Fool At Heart" because Natalie Cole and Chaka Kahn were singing back-up on the song and I really liked it a lot.  I used my oldest brother's long, wooden stereo so much til' I probably wore out the black rings on the albums that signified the start of each song LOL!  There I was, pretending to be Natalie with a broomstick in my hand singing away..."Just Can't Stay Away"...  I started attending her concerts at Caesar's and The Golden Nugget in the mid 80s and loved when she sung songs such as "The Gift," "Someone That I Used To Love," "I Live For Your Love," " Our Love," "Mr. Melody," "This Will Be," "Good To Be Back," "Jump Start," and "Miss You Like Crazy" among so many others.  I love every song that she delivers right up through Leavin,' which is her latest release.   Since meeting her for the first time after one of her shows in 1998, I realized even more that she is amazing.

Natalie's a rare jewel; she works hard and gives you her best!  After all, she is a living legend!   "Keep Smiling!" :)
