Cole, Natalie
Natalie
Rare & Collectible Vinyl Records

Sealed 1976 Original. No Cut-Out-Holes Or Saw-Cuts. "From A Soul Standpoint, Cole's Second Album, Natalie, Is Among Her Strongest Releases. Those Who Like Cole As A Robust, Big-Voiced Soul Shouter Weren't Disappointed By Franklin-Influenced Offerings Like "Touch Me," "Keep Smiling," And The Funky Hit "Sophisticated Lady (She's A Different Lady)," Which Shouldn't Be Confused With The Duke Ellington Standard. But Cole Brings Jazz Overtones To The Exuberant "Mr. Melody" (Another Major Hit), And She Detours Into Torch Singing On The Ballad "Good Morning, Heartache," Which Billie Holiday Defined In 1946." - Alex Henderson, AMG
