To promote her new album she appeared on The View today, with a performance of “Walkin’ My baby Back Home.” She will also appear on the TODAY Show on Thursday, September 11th at 10:00am, where she will be interviewed by Kathie Lee Gifford and Hoda Kotb. Check your local listings.
The first single off the album to hit Smooth Jazz airwaves will be “Walkin’ My Baby Back Home,” a duet with her father Nat King Cole.
Natalie Cole has forged a successful career in two phases, doing R&B/urban contemporary and then jazz-based pop. She made her stage debut at age 11 and sang in college.
She recorded a string of hit albums and singles from 1975 until 1983. Such albums as Inseparable, Natalie, Thankful, Unpredictable, and I Love You So yielded five number one R&B hits between 1975 and 1977.
She scored more hits with songs like “Jump Start,” “I Live for Your Love,” and “Over You” in 1987, and “Pink Cadillac,” a cover of a Bruce Springsteen tune, in 1988, and then made her stylistic shift.
Cole eased into the transition with “When I Fall in Love,” a number her father recorded in 1957. She fully embraced the move with the 1991 release Unforgettable: With Love, earning Grammy Awards and landing a number one pop album that eventually sold over five million copies.
The title track featured her doing a duet with her father via electronic elaboration. She continued the jazzy trend with Take a Look in 1993, and she toured and did television specials working with a large orchestra conducted by Nelson Riddle.
