Amazon.com essential recording
Four years after her return to recording after a much-publicized battle with drug addiction, Natalie Cole found herself unexpectedly experiencing a virtual reinvention as a bestselling artist and performer, thanks to a project she had longed to do for many years. Unforgettable with Love was the soulful singer's way of paying tribute to her late, legendary father, Nat "King" Cole, and marked her label debut for Elektra Records. Cole, Elektra, and the album's producers--including then-husband Andre Fischer and Tommy LiPuma--were rewarded with a multiple-Grammy-winning set that sold an astonishing 5 million copies in the U.S.alone. Cole's selections varied from obvious choices like "Mona Lisa," "Nature Boy," "Route 66," and "Straighten Up and Fly Right"--all major hits for her father in the '50s--to more obscure parts of King Cole's repertoire, such as "Avalon" and "Non Dimenticar." The crowning glory was a "duet" with her father, electronically created using his original vocal, which helped expand Cole's audience dramatically and took her career to a new plateau. --David Nathan

 Perfection October 23, 2008
Probably one of the best albums ever made. Astonishingly great production values. A remarkable talent. A must for any music lover.
Unforgettable, and then some October 15, 2008
Natalie Cole, one of the preeminent vocalists of our time, puts her pop/r&b career on hold for this labor of love. Partly as a tribute to her late, great father, Nat "King" Cole, Natalie covers 22 of his greatest hits from the classic American songbook that made him famous. Much is so achingly romantic it practically hurts. Everything about this album is outstanding: production, arrangements, choice of songs, performance and sales (over 14 million units and counting). Unarguably one of the ten greatest albums of all time of any genre.
Dy no mite March 22, 2008
The power and love that Natalie has put into this CD has all the earmarks of her debut album of many years ago. Her talent really shines and if her father was still alive he would have to say : well done.
 A Trubute to Her Father December 26, 2007
I really enjoyed this CD. I could almost feel the presence of Natalie's father while she sang his songs. It's a very romantic CD and makes great cocktail/dinner music.
The apple most definitely doesn't fall far from the tree! June 20, 2007
If one were to fill a MUSICAL time capsule, then "Unforgettable: With Love" would be placed in it. Not only is the album does the album pay tribute to one of the all-time greats of music, Cole's father Nat, but it is a multiple Grammy-winner that appealed to fans of many genres.
Cole is very effective singing the standards made famous by her father and realizes that his stamp is emblazoned on most of them. She never tries to imitate him, just offers her own spin on such gems as "Mona Lisa," "Smile," "Straighten Up and Fly Right," "Nature Boy," and "Our Love is Here to Stay."
Of course, no musical collection would be complete without the landmark and one-of-a-kind (at the time) pairing of father and daughter on "Unforgettable."
The song is just as the title says and worthy of the praise it has garnered since its release.
I can't believe that I didn't buy this album sixteen years ago.
Where was my brain???
