The daughter of legendary crooner Nat King Cole, she earned a degree in child psychology from the University of Massachusetts in 1972. Although uncertain about pursuing a career in entertainment, she accepted a summer job singing with a band and was soon performing regularly. In 1974 she met Chuck Jackson and Marvin Yancy, songwriters and record producers who became frequent collaborators and helped her sign with Capitol Records. A string of rhythm-and-blues albums followed, beginning with her debut album, Inseparable (1975), which earned Cole two Grammy Awards, including one for best new artist. The following year Natalie was released, which went gold and received a Grammy for the hit single “Sophisticated Lady.” Her success continued with Unpredictable (1977) and Thankful (1977), both of which went platinum.
In the early 1980s Cole’s career stalled because of drug problems and a serious throat ailment. She eventually overcame her difficulties, and by the end of the decade she had begun singing more jazz-inspired pop. Her comeback was completed in 1991 with the release of Unforgettable with Love, a double album that featured her father’s classics, including “Smile,” “The Very Thought of You,” and “Mona Lisa.” A commercial and critical success, it was Cole’s first album to reach number one and earned three Grammy Awards. The title track was digitally engineered to simulate a father-and-daughter duet. Later albums include Take a Look (1993), Snowfall on the Sahara (1999), and Ask a Woman Who Knows (2002). She returned to her father’s songbook for Still Unforgettable (2008), a collection of romantic standards that won the Grammy Award for best traditional pop vocal album in 2009. In 2000 her autobiography, Angel on My Shoulder (written with Digby Diehl), was published.
Cole announced in 2008 that she had been diagnosed with hepatitis C, which is a liver disease that is spread through contact with infected blood. Cole attributed having the disease to her past intravenous drug use. Cole explained in 2009 that hepatitis C had "stayed in [her] body for 25 years, and it could still happen to addicts who are fooling around with drugs, especially needles."
Four months after starting treatment for hepatitis C, Cole experienced kidney failure and required dialysis three times a week for nine months. Following her appeal for a kidney on the Larry King Show, she was contacted by the organ procurement agency One Legacy, in May 2009. The facilitated donation came from a family requesting that, if there were a match, their donor's kidney be designated for Cole.
Cole canceled several events in December 2015 due to illness; her last musical performance was a short set of three songs in Manila.[24] She died at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles on December 31, 2015, at the age of 65. Cole's publicist said the singer's death was the result of congestive heart failure, which her family said was a complication of idiopathic pulmonary arterial hypertension, which she had been diagnosed with after her kidney transplant in 2009. Her family said in a statement, "Natalie fought a fierce, courageous battle, dying how she lived... with dignity, strength and honor. Our beloved mother and sister will be greatly missed and remain unforgettable in our hearts forever."
Cole's funeral was held on January 11, 2016, at the West Angeles Church of God in Christ in Los Angeles. David Foster, Stevie Wonder, Smokey Robinson, Lionel Richie, Chaka Khan, Eddie Levert, Mary Wilson, Gladys Knight, Ledisi, Jesse Jackson, Angela Bassett, Denise Nicholas, Marla Gibbs, Jackée Harry and Freda Payne were among the mourners at the funeral. After the funeral, she was buried at Forest Lawn Memorial Park in Glendale, California. Her grave is located in the central lawn area of the 'Court of Freedom' section, Garden of Honor; there is no public access to her grave.

The plaque on top of her grave is so beautifully done, like a piece of art.
Thank you Craig for getting Scott in so he is able to share with all of us. Without you both we would never see all these great entertainers, and many others final resting place. You and Scott are both greatly appreciated! Again...thanks guys!!!

My parents were huge fans of Nat King Cole. I first heard Natalie when I was 10 yrs old on her 1977 hit song "Our Love" (my top favorite). I've been listening to her music for years. Other favorites include: I live for your love, Pink Cadillac, & When I fall in love. I bought her Unforgettable album when it first released & still play it often in the car whenever I drive my elderly parents to places. She is one of my favorite singers of all time. Her voice was so melodic, rich, & smooth as silk (just like her father).

I knew Natalie , she was the sweetest person you ever met. I was in a show in Miami during the 70s that ran for a year. The Ziegfeld follies, my father had a steam car 1899 locomobile steamer that was also in the show. I knew her well in the 70s, she invited me out twice and we had a great time every time. We would buy each other a small piece of jewelry for remembrance, back then she had bought me a friendship ring that had a peace symbol on top. Very sweet human being did not see color, only seen people 😁. This is not my real last name, I was an actress for a long time when I was young. It's funny I watch your channel all the time when this came up it was a sweet thing to see her grave. Like I said what a wonderful person she was, see you on the next video thanks Scott for this one ❤.

Even though I understand it, it's too bad that these areas are locked to the public where most can't admire and pay respects to these entertainers who gave us so much of themselves. It means so much to us that we were able to get a glimpse of these beautiful resting places because of you and your friend Scott, thank you! I loved her voice, and the duet with her dad always gives me goose bumps. I just love these two wonderful singers with the most angelic voices. RIP to all who are buried here ❤🙏

I disagree with most of he replies on this page. If a family or an individual wishes to be bury in an area which has limited access to the public or wants to be buried in an unmarked grave that family or individual's wishes should be respected after death. The privacy of the family in regard to their loved one should be honored.

The blending of Natalie's voice with that of her father, Nat, was simply amazing. ❤❤
Thank you Craig and Scott for the opportunity to see Natalie Cole’s and family’s resting place!
You are so right, her version of Unforgettable was inescapable when it released. I was 11 when it came out and it was my first exposure to her and, honestly, Nat's music. In a huge year in music - a time when dance tracks dominated - she took over with a cover of a golden age love song. Iconic.
Both her and her dad were some of my favorites and the duo song unforgettable.
Use to listen to her version of Unforgettable with her father's vocals over and over again. Love & enjoy their music to this day. RIP To Nat & Maria & Natalie Cole 🙏🕊️
Many thanks to Craig for not only sharing access to the cemetery, but his wealth of information. I recently read Natalie Cole's autobiography & she was very open about her addiction and the impact it had on her life. Natalie Cole's career spanned decades, all while singing such uplifting songs throughout her personal struggles. This Will Be is one of my personal favorites. So many unforgettable songs from an unforgettable woman. Appreciate you Scott for continuing to give us a chance to have access to locations like this. Take care.

Poor Craig! You always put him on the spot, but he always comes through with the answers. I also grew up listening to the wonderful Nat King Cole but could not think of that many songs! Only the roasting of the chestnuts song! He truly did have the voice of an angel. Beautiful Natalie was also blessed with a lovely voice. It blew me away to see her father daughter duet. She struggled so in her life. It was devastating when she passed. Two angels together again. Rest in Paradise to you both. Thank you, Scott, really loved this one!

For Craig 🙌👍🙌…Thank You for letting Scott in, so we can see Natalie Cole’s final resting place and see the final resting places of her famous family’s loved ones. Just like her beautiful voice she does have a beautiful final resting stone. Nice of Craig to take time out, and show you and us around famous grave sites that we would not be able to normally get in to see.
Scott you’re the man. You take us places we would have never gone without you. 😊God bless.
That’s great a good friend Craig gets you into places that the public can’t to show us famous people we can’t visit it is very sad that they left us to young RIP to the Nat King Cole family will be missed ❤❤❤
Natalie's sister Carole is buried their as well. As always, you do an amazing job, Scott! Thank you for this video! ❤
Natalie Cole was one of my favorites growing up! Our Love , ‘This Will Be. Nat King Cole was a trailblazer! Icon ! May they both RIP.🙏🏽
One of the greatest singers of all time. She is gone but not forgotten. Rest in Peace Miss Natalie-you are missed.
I grew up hearing some of her music. She was beautiful. Her soul, R.I.P.
A family with so much talent beset by so many tragedies, so sad, may they all rest in peace.😢
Thanks gentlemen for showing us around. "Ramblin' Rose" will remain my favourite of the great man's catalogue of unforgettable songs. Grew up with my dear Mum's love for Nat King Cole and I subsequently became a fan of Natalie - gorgeous woman. Gee she was like her Mum! Cheers from Australia 🇦🇺

If my math is correct Nat King Cole died young at 45 and his wife lived to be 90...fascinating
I REMEMBER WHEN SHE WENT INTO THE HOSPITAL SO SAD BUT WHEN HER SON PASSED AWAY SMH......@ LEAST THEY'RE ALL TOGETHER HER MOTHER & FATHER, HER BROTHER, & THEN HER BABY RIGHT LONG BESIDE HER MAY THE COLE FAMILY R.I.E.P

My Dad's favorite singer was Nat King Cole. My Dad also loved to sing. I like to think that NKC and Dad are singing in Heaven together
I just loved Natalie Cole. What a talent. Thank you Craig for allowing Scott in & thank you both for showing us her beautiful grave & telling us more about her. What another amazing video, never disappoint Scott, never have & you never will. Please keep me in your thoughts & paraders as I have to get abdominal surgery tomorrow… I’ll be honest I’m nervous about going under but I know everything will be ok😊 You truly are awesome Scott. Not only KZreadr but person.
The duet with her dad was our wedding song in 1991. I’m sure there were many of us that year that picked that song.
So sad that the world lost all of them at such a young age. Natalies headstone is so very lovely. Shame that no one can really visit them - maybe unless they know Craig 😉
Craig we love to thank you for working with Scott. I know these plots are special. Just to let you know are gratitude is forever. Natalie Cole was her daddy's baby and special girl. As we all know success, money doesn't always fix everything. Thanks again Scott. I just completed our large biannual family reunion.
What a truly heavenly place. ❤
Thank you for this video, Scott. Another great one in the books! Nat's buttery, smooth voice is always the one to kick off my Christmas season every year! The Christmas Song is always the first one we listen to. Natalie, too, was a great singer in her own right and inherited everything from her Dad. Fun fact for any Nat/Natalie fan who hasn't seen the 1998 Lindsay Lohan version of "The Parent Trap": they used Nat's "L-O-V-E" for the opening, and Natalie's "This Will Be" for the ending. ❤
Hello Scott 🙋🏽 I hope you had a wonderful 4th of July ‼️ it's so awesome to see this omage to Natalie Cole and her father. Thank you for inviting me to watch your video ‼️ Enjoy the rest of your day ‼️🙋🏽❤️.

Love that video, such soothing voices, beautiful mausoleum
I really enjoyed this vlog. Always been a fan of hers I've read most of her autobiography *Angel on my shoulder". Little known fact she went to private school in Amherst and attended UMass Amherst. When she was at UMass she was there at the same time as basketball legend Dr. J they even dated I believe. She hung out in my hometown of Springfield, Massachusetts too. I was sad & shocked to hear of her passing didn't know her son passed away but they both have beautiful headstones may they all RIP.
