With Love in 1992, an album which featured modernized recordings of songs made famous by her late father that featured Natalie's own twist.

She also performed with the likes of Barbara Streisand, B.B. King, and Ray Charles, and was recognized by the Society of Singers with their inaugural Ella Award in 2009. Natalie Cole is preceded in death by her father Nat "King" Cole. She will be remembered fondly by fans and loved ones in the music world.
