    That last part where Nat King Cole sings his original verse from Unforgettable, and his daughter Natalie is playing it on the piano, that truly epitomizes how unforgettable those 2 legends are. Nas really captured that image of classic golden style with this song

    Im sure I'm not the only one who feels this......
    This music or better yet this era of music and these times were truly golden. I was a late teenager when some of the greatest hits and artists of hiphop existed. The nostalgia runs so deep. I am now 32 years old and I can't even explain what I would give to go back to these days, where music brought people together and you'd meet your significant other through physical interaction and proper communication. But I think the most painful part of listening to old school music is that.........these days will NEVER come back and there is no rewind nor reply button to our lives. So to all of us that lived the best times of your lives during this era. Cheers and God bless!
