Natalie Cole Is 'still Unforgettable'

Grammy winner Natalie Cole is returning to the kind of musical setting that brought her renewed fame in the '90s. The singer will release Still Unforgettable on September 9th, 17 years after releasing Unforgettable...With Love, the album of American Songbook standards that included a duet with her late father, Nat "King" Cole. That album sold more than 14 million copies worldwide and earned Natalie five Grammy Awards.

Still Unforgettable will feature 14 new tunes, including "The Best Is Yet To Come," "Nice 'N'Easy," and "Something's Gotta Give." The set includes another duet between Cole and her father on his hit "Walking My Baby Back Home" thanks to audio technology.

It took many years for Cole to cover her father's music after forging her own solo identity. She says the fact that her father was an elegant and classy entertainer who sang about universal themes made him unforgettable to his family and his fans: "The way he dressed, the way he carried himself. And then you add that to this great, silky voice. And the things that he chose to sing about were very lofty things, it was beautiful romance. He painted a picture, he was like a visionary."

The new CD will be released and marketed through a co-venture between Cole, DMI Music, and Rhino/WEA.

The singer's most recent album was Leavin', released in 2006 on Verve. That project found Cole singing a range of '60 and '70s pop and R&B hits.
