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.

”Unforgettable… with Love” is the most successful album of the legendary singer and songwriter Natalie Cole to date. Since its initial release in 1991, it has sold over seven million copies and earned Cole seven GRAMMY Awards. On the album, Natalie Cole sings several songs recorded by her father Nat King Cole, almost 20 years after she initially refused to cover her father’s songs at live concerts. Cole produced the vocal arrangements for the songs, which were accompanied by her uncle Ike Cole on the piano. The album’s title song, an interactive duet with her father, was to become one of her most memorable recordings.

Produced by Rudy Perez (“Latin Music Producer of the Decade“ – Billboard), Natalie Cole En Espanol finds the multi-GRAMMY® winner inspired by both the bilingual recording legacy of her father Nat King Cole and a growing passion for the timeless romanticism of the great Latin music composers. The must-have recording will reintroduce a new generation of fans to many of Latin Music’s most romantic standards – with both new interpretations of Spanish-language classics previously recorded by Nat King Cole, and Natalie’s own personal selection of songs that have touched her heart and make this album truly her own. This wonderful balance of both old and new classics is perfectly illustrated by the special vocal collaborations that highlight the album, with Natalie joining Juan Luis Guerra on the Dominican Maestro’s own “Bachata Rosa,” while looking further back with Andrea Bocelli on the eternal “Besame Mucho.” But without question, the most emotional pairing of the album finds Natalie joining her father in a heartfelt duet of “Acercate Mas” – utilizing the same technique as their GRAMMY® winning, globally multi-Platinum recording of “Unforgettable.” (more…)
