A few weeks ago I wrote this on my FB page and now I wanted to put it on my blog too. . 

I learned of the passing of the talented, beautiful and classy lady Natalie Cole. No long ago I was able to spend time photographing Natalie with my crew at her place. The photo assignment was perfect since my home is a couple blocks away from hers. Her father's music, along with Sinatra, was always been played by my parents in the 60s when I was a boy. During our photo shoot we played some of those old songs too and when she heard her daddy's voice her eyes got brighter and she sang along. In the early 90s the popular song "Unforgettable", which was recorded by her dad Nat King Cole in the 50s, was remixed and digitized and was turned into a duet with his daughter. As a singer and on her own, and with traces of her father's angelical chords on her pedigree, she created an amazing resume of top hits songs while enchanting newer generations of musical lovers. So glad I was able to meet her. Bye bye sweet angel.... #nataliecole @lennykravitz #unforgettable #rollingstonemagazine #billboardmagazine @billboardmagazine @rollingstone_magazine @ebonymagazine #ripnataliecole #ripnataliecole😞🙏🏾
