Editorial Review:
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

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.
Rating:  - A Trubute to Her Father
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.
Rating: - The apple most definitely doesn't fall far from the tree!
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 ... Read More
Rating: - Unforgettable
Natalie Cole celebrates her father's legacy by singing his songs on this flawlessly produced album. The quality of the music is excellent and Natalie's voice is warm, fresh and vibrant. She performs so well that one listen is never enough: This is a CD you listen to over and over again.
The CD starts off with the romantic "The Very Thought Of You;" this simultaneously suggests that Natalie is thinking of her father as she introduces the CD with this first song. The next two songs, "Paper ... Read More
Rating: - What everyone should listen to before entering dreamland
As a jazz musician, fan and admirer of Natalie's stunning talent, this CD is one of my favorites from the day it was released. We started playing it at my baby son's bedside at night and, to this day, this has not changed. He is now almost five and the sweet, soulful, timeless classics Ms. Cole so elegantly gives us carries my son off to sleep every night. A night without Natalie is a night without dreams. THANK YOU, Natalie and Daddy Cole, for your gifts you have shared with us. I'm now ordering ... Read More
