    Nat King Cole's voice was so unique and had such a beautiful velvet sound to it. Whether you are old enough to remember him (I am) or not you have to be moved by this wonderful tribute to him by his daughter, a great singer in her own right. Very moving no matter how many times you hear it!

      I have always loved his voice. Yes, I am old enough to remember him too. This is a very touching tribute. Never knew he had a daughter till now.

      I lost my dad when I was 19. So I feel her pain. ❤ I don't know how she got thru that arrangement without crying. It is touching if you lived through both times. I was a growing kid when Nat was a major singer and even had his own variety show on TV. He died of lung cancer, a Major smoker. So when I first heard this duet I was blown away. I'm sure he heard it. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😢

    This Father daughter duet is so beautiful and memorable, and their voices blend so well. Unforgettable has been sung by many but Nat King Cole owns this lovely ballad.

    Natalie Cole is known for her R&B songs, such as This Will Be. She transitioned into Jazz in the 90s. Her tribute album won Album of the Year

    This was a major hit when it came out - it was played at weddings a lot (father/daughter dance) or even bride & groom’s first dance as husband and wife. It was groundbreaking at the time because no one had ever done this type of duet before. And it was SO well done. Nat King Cole was so much more than Christmas music. He had such a mellow, silky voice that was so pleasant to listen to. His daughter Natalie became a huge singing star in the 70’s and had big R & B hits, and eventually she crossed over into Pop. You really should check out her music - she was fire! Sadly, she passed in 2015 after several complications from a kidney transplant. She was only 65.

    @dagmar.6954 19 дней назад +21

    It's really cool how they were able to mix this song together with Natalie singing with her dad. He was such a legend. Love his smooth silky voice. He was an American singer, jazz pianist & actor. He recorded over 100 songs that became hits on the pop charts. He is best known for "Mona Lisa" & "Unforgettable" but he had so many great hits such as "Smile", "(Get Your Kicks on) Route 66", "(I Love You) For Sentimental Reasons", "There! I've Said It Again", "Nature Boy", "Ramblin' Rose", "Those Lazy-Hazy-Crazy Days of Summer" etc.

    My son was about 5 years old when this song came out, and for some reason he loved it. He used to shake his head really fast when he tried to sing it, so he could have a vibrato like Nat King Cole. It was so hilarious to see him do that....

    I'm in my 60's. I grew with Nat King Cole as a staple record , vinyl back then, in our household. I always loved Nat's music. Later, I saw his daughter put out a CD with his songs and bought it. I remember that she got so much flack for that. I want to say that there was an SNL skit that poked fun at her singing songs for dead ppl. I don't care. Her voice is as good as her dad's. I thought the CD was a great tribute and still have it.

  • @battlegirldeb
    @battlegirldeb 19 дней назад +9

    I love Nat's music. While he comes up because of Christmas music many people under forty don't know about Natalie's long career from the early 1970's- the early 2000. In the 50's-60's Nat was one of the most popular singers. He even had his own TV Show for a season. When Natalie was 15 years old and away at school her father died. For years she wanted her own singing style which was more R&B, Funk, and Disco, in the early days. She stays away from her father songs. In the 90's while trying to recover from her addiction to drugs she when head with a tribute album to her father. Nataile died in 2015.

    I wrote a letter each year to my Son 11:44 about our life the year before. And I would put it in his baby book. He turned 45 this year and he found his baby book. And he enjoyed the chapters of his life and even his baby teeth.

    Has to be one of my favorite tribute and duet songs of all time. I grew up listening to both of them. Natalie released "This Will Be" in 1975 and was a chart topper back in the day.

    • @ABoomerReacts

    3:14 This is fantastic. Their voices blend so beautifully. We had concert tickets to see Natalie but the concert was abruptly cancelled due to her health issues. She passed away shortly after that. The sadness is that they both passed away too soon. Thanks for the great reaction. 👏👏🥰

  • @markwatson450
    @markwatson450 19 дней назад +2

    She developed a career of her own before diving into her dad's iconic music. After he died, she felt she should do this duet before anyone else did it. She had many great hits of her own like This Will Be, Inseparable, and more. She also sang many of her father's hit songs. Sadly we lost her in 2015.

  • @garrymoore2161

    You hit it right on the head. Raise your daughters to see you as no threat but their guardian to the degree that they would treasure any way to interact with you once you pass. Natalie's voice so smoothly blends with her father. This is such a beautiful video. Little dud Nat know when he recorded "Unforgettable," that his daughter would grow to be a singer and use his sing to help ensure that he was unforgettable.

  • @cindyerick2968
    @cindyerick2968 19 дней назад +2

    Nat King Cole is such an icon. Donny Osmond does a tribute for Andy Williams where they sing his theme song together. It is just beautiful. Donny’s Vegas show just won “Best of Vegas” award for the 4th year in a row. Andy Williams gave the Osmonds their first big break back in the early 60’s by having them on his show. Donny started on Andy’s show in 1963 at the age of 5. That’s why having Donny do a duet with Andy is such an ironic tribute. You should check it out.

    Nat King Cole was my dad's favorite singer. His untimely death was a shock to him and many of his generation. I remember when this came out dad and I were in the car together. It touched him so much that he started to cry a little. Now I do the same when I hear this tune because it makes me feel that dad is right here.

    When CDs were first coming on the market, my mom wouldn’t consider buying a CD player until we found out whether or not Nat King Cole’s catalog had been released on CD, lol. And while I was born after his heyday, he is also my favorite singer of all time. So that’s why I clicked on your video. I see Nat King Cole in the title and I’m here for it. 😊
    Natalie Cole had success in her own right in the pop music genre. A few of her biggest hits were, This Will Be (for which she won a Grammy), Sophisticated Lady, Pink Cadillac & Miss You Like Crazy. I hope you’ll check her out at some point. 👍👍

    Steve Perry’s dad was a “crooner” type singer when Steve was growing up. He sang in various local venues. Steve’s parents divorced when he was around seven. Steve’s dad sent him a cassette tape of him singing to Steve for Christmas one year. Years later, his dad passed away. On 10/07/2024, Steve released a new Christmas album called Season 3. From that old cassette tape, Steve created a duet with himself and his dad. The song is “Call Me Irresponsible”. It’s a beautiful rendition. At the end, Steve’s dad wishes his son a Merry Christmas. You can listen to that song and the entire album here on YT. 🤟

    Another father and daughter pairing for you :-
    Neil Sedaka had a hit with Laughter In The Rain around 1974, a fantastic song.
    There's a video of him and his daughter Dara singing it in Birmingham in 1991
    My favourite video of them though is when she still has braces, as the looks he gives her are so loving - it's on Fab TV and the title on here includes the name Guillermo Gomez Navarrp, which will help locate it

    Natalie Cole has a great catalog you should explore, including I’ve Got Love on My Mind, This Will Be, Miss You Like Crazy and Inseparable to name a few.
    Her album Unforgettable…With Love won her three Grammy Awards, including Album of the Year and Song of the Year for Unforgettable. If you watch her performance at the 1992 Grammy awards, it will really move you.
    During her career she was Grammy nominated 21 times and 19 Grammy awards.

    Many years ago, when The Land Yacht was still fresh and new, I arrived on a standard dispatched trip to pick-up a fare at The Mansion on Judges Hill.
    When I pulled up, I got my first look at my passengers. It was an elderly couple, looking to be in their 70’s or 80’s. They got in & asked to be taken downtown to the Four Seasons Hotel.
    So, down MLK I went & turned down San Jacinto Blvd. Got a little bit of conversation in to get a feel for the mood of the couple & then…
    As I turned onto San Jacinto, I put on a favorite video of mine (and one that’s now in my top 25 favorites because of what happened next). Natalie Cole doing her famous posthumous duet with her father, Nat King Cole to his old song, Unforgettable.
    We were breezing through the light at 15th Street when the elderly gentleman leaned up & politely asked me to pull the van over & stop. What happened next was a tear-jerker of a moment if I’ve ever seen one.
    In the middle of afternoon rush hour traffic, this old man stepped out of the van, “handed” his wife out as well…where the proceeded to dance on the side of the road to the beautiful strains of Unforgettable.

    Nat King Cole on his own with the voice that you can’t forget he did some great music I was young but I remember Natalie is a chip off the old block… This is very uplifting for her to do with her dad who had already passed🙏💙💙💙💙

    This is one of my karaoke duets. I've sung it many times with a few different women and it's fun every time.
