Nat & Natalie Cole – Piano and Duet
Natalie Cole is one of only a handful of performers whose apple didn’t fall very far from the tree. In the top video she proves it by singing a duet with Nat that was cleverly constructed in 1991, by mixing his 1951 recording with Natalie’s live performance. It’s Unforgettable … and it really is! Like her dad, she was probably best known for her work in ‘pop’ music but, oh, she could swing!
As for Nat ‘King’ Cole, many who only knew him as a singer didn’t realize that he was one helluva piano player. In fact, some might say he was a great piano player who just so happened to know how to sing. In the bottom video, sample both the voice and fingers of ‘The Velvet Rasp’ himself.
