Natalie Cole - Unforgettable With Love

The big thing on this album was that Natalie Cole sang a duet with her late father Nat King Cole.  In 1991 this was revolutionary.  In 2021 this isn’t even worth mentioning.  Singing with someone not in the same room is literally the standard way of recording albums.

 

There’s not much to say about this album.  I feel that it made it to number 1 due to the novelty of the recording method and the feel-good story of a daughter duetting with her dead father.  That’s not to say that it’s not a good album.  It is.  But smooth jazz doesn’t normally trouble the top of the charts.
