At 75, this takes me back and for a moment I'm a young man again. Nat King Cole was Mr. Smooth and with his daughter singing with him, brings tears to the eyes. Thanks peace and love.
I have loved this duet for many years. It’s so beautiful and their voices blend so well. I remember when I was a little girl in the 50s and he was the first African American to have his own TV show. It was a really big deal and my Dad loved to watch it. Nat King Cole was soooo good. Natalie was also a great singer. We had tickets to see her in concert but the concert was cancelled due to her I’ll health. Very sad that they both died at young ages. I remember seeing him chain smoking on his show. R.I.P. Nat King Cole and Natalie Cole. 💔🙏
Takes me back! I remember Nat King Cole way back when! I am now over 70. Back in that Eara of music their where no computers or synthesizers. You had to be in the top of your craft to be in the limelight.!! 😊
One of the best redos ever!! From 1991 -- Unforgettable won Record Of The Year while the LP it's from won Album Of The Year, among other Grammys that year. And most deservedly so!! Natalie is sensational throughout that album!
This beautiful duet reminds me of my friend's parents years ago on their 50th wedding anniversary. They loved Nat King Cole's version of Unforgettable & fell back in love with Natalie & Nat's duet and would even dance at home to it. They were simple people & didn't want a party so their grown kids had a surprise in store for them. They secretly packed their parents bags & a big limo pulls up. Confused they get in with my friend & her hubby having no idea where they were going. Since they didn't drink champagne, glasses were filled with sparkling champagne & what was playing on the limo's sound system was "Unforgettable" both Nat's version & the duet. Her parents were overwhelmed and tears were running down their eyes. We live in a beach city in California & the limo pulls up to the port. When they tell their folks you are going on a Mexico cruise...they were in shock & didn't want to go as they never been on a cruise before & had no idea what to do. That's when my friend told them we're going too! So that made it amazing & altho they were still in shock, they all got aboard. When her parents opened the door to their suite, they heard Nat & Natalie again singing Unforgettable. Then the shouts of surprise came from their two other kids/spouses and grandkids. One son & family flew in from out of state for their parent's incredible anniversary cruise surprise. Her mom barely slept during the trip with all of her family there. Unforgettable that's what it was.
One of the most beautiful duets ever. I love how the song just flows along with magic of each of their voices. Then the orchestral beauty. Each instrument taking you along for a trip to heaven. I was raised on Nat King Cole and was amazed by him even as a child. So to have his daughter join him, doesn't get any better. Great reaction Harri. Thanks Harri and David for a great memory. "Thanks Dad" 😪 Cheers from Canada 🇨🇦
Mary, you are very welcome and I am glad that you were as touched as so many have by this performance over the years. Harri, you did a very nice reaction and commentary!
Natilie Cole (1950-2015) She recorded the "Unforgrttable" album in 1991. My parents loved Nat King Cole and I remember seeing his TV show as a child. Two beautiful voices. RIP
Nat King Cole is one the greatest singers and piano players who ever lived as well as his daugther Natalie. He was in Heaven at this time when she sang a duet through technology..Both are in Heaven now..
My dad absolutely loved Nat King Cole. Please God they are up in heaven and daddy has mam in his arms dancing on a cloud, listening to this man and his daughter sing this for them and the angels in the light of heaven
I haven't seen this in years and I forgot about the blowing of the kiss at the end. Beautiful. I cried then and now that I have lost my own dad, I am crying even harder now. What a beautiful moment it must have been for Natalie. Imagine if Nat knew that, all those years before, when he blew that kiss on the stage, that it would be used to blow a kiss to his grown up daughter after she sang a duet with him.
I was privileged to see her in concert @ in Denver.. her orchestra was comprised of only black women, all wearing beautiful creamy white tuxedos, the conductor an elegant black woman with salt n pepper hair.. when a big screen came down, the orchestra started playing and Natalie started to sing is was pure magic.. she performed all her hits, but this was the highlight of the evening... Sad when she passed, but like Nat, she leaves her own thumbprint on the list of wonderfully talented female artists... "The fruit did not roll far from the tree" 🎶🎹🎵🎤❤️🙏🏻
I learned of Nat King Cole in his last 6 years by accident. First he had songs on the radio when I was 6 or 7, like Lazy Crazy Hazy Days of Summer, and the annual "the Christmas Song [Chestnuts Roasting on an Open Fire] he is so famous for. But the 78 rpms my aunt gave me from her childhood, included 1 or 2 Nat King Cole Hits from the early 1950's , particularly Pretend. I learned how sing and phrase accidently by listening to Nat King Cole and others as a small child starting around 4... Nat King Cole is deep dive, jazz piano and vocals, so you'd better Straighten Up and Fly Right, find Mona Lisa in the Stardust ballroom, and Pretend she's Unforgettable, tell her you L-O-V--E her before the Autumn Leaves fall from the Orange Colored Sky after those Lazy Crazy Hazy Days of Summer, Nature Boy, and Smile when you say it.
You're right Harry. To my knowledge, this is the first time a duet like this was performed. It was truly magnificent to watch. Thanks for reviewing this worthy song, Harry.
Not just a beautiful duet but also a huge career boost for her as well it completed her search for her place in music,a HUGE hit still,it was released in the 90's if my memory isn't betraying me.Nat King Cole was the Best!!!
We had Nat king Cole's TV show on in the early 60's and as a young kid I thought this guy was very softly spoken, totally sure of himself in a good way and someone if you met you could easily respect. 100% Class.
My Mom and Dad had Nat King Cole Records that were on the record player all the time. They loved his TV show also. Natalie did soem Duets with Diana Krall that are really good also, check out Natalie and Diana doing "Better than Anything".
I can count on one hand the times I saw my father cry with fingers left over and when he saw this for the first time was one of those times he cried. Between my parents loving Nat King Cole and passing that love to me, we have worn out records, 8 tracks, cassettes, and CDs.
I remember when this song was released, it also made Nat’s version become popular with the younger generation and Nat King Cole was definitely before my time but this song definitely made me a fan of his music
This is really beautiful and a wonderful tribute to her father. I loved Nat King Cole since I was a kid. I remember singing along with my parent's Nat King Cole albums; Those Lazy, Hazy, Crazy Days of Summer; L-O-V-E; The Christmas Song etc
Harri, my friend it's going take a lot of searching, but there is a rare recording of Natalie and her sister Carol singing "AIN'T SHE SWEET" with Nat. The is from the CD "UNFORGETTABLE " " STARDUST "( they sins "When I Fall in Love" in both English and Spanish)
Very few second-generation performers were able to achieve such a high level of success, always being compared to their famous mother or father. Natalie Cole achieved that kind of success, she was that talented. Nat Cole must have been so very proud of her. Mr. Cole was in a class by himself. Heartbreaking that they both left us way too soon. I once heard what I still to this day consider one of the best compliments ever paid to Nat Cole. I was hooked on a soap opera many years ago (One Life to Live). They did this really odd story-line where the lead actress was in the hospital, hovering between life and death. Then the writers had her go to heaven so she could decide if she wanted to remain there or come back to her current life. In heaven she is reunited with the love of her life, her first husband and father of her children, who died in an accident at a young age. They're talking and suddenly we're hearing Nat Cole singing of "(They Tried To Tell Us We're) Too Young". They begin to dance and she tells him she feels like she's back years ago, dancing with him like they did to a jukebox. She says she's impressed that they have a jukebox in heaven. He smiles and says "No, we have Nat Cole in heaven." Never forgot that. Someone on that show - a writer or a director, someone - was obviously a huge Nat Cole fan. The man was so very loved.
This song and the video always make me cry. There was a video of the song of them together singing when Natalie first released it, and I was just so heartbroken and happy at the same time - I adored Nat King Cole, and it just made me wonder how she was feeling "singing with her dad" the only way she could. Just angelic and perfect.
Your experience is wonderful to me. I listened to The King as a kid and Natalie as a young adult. I can't know Natalie's full process in deciding to do this. But my dad sung in Choral groups and Choirs. It would be more than nice if I could sing with him now. (Not that I can sing). But still ...
I remember having the Nat King Cole's Greatest Hit album as a kid. I listened to it every day. He was one of the greatest crooners, as my parents called them.
You mentioned how remarkable George Benson’s voice was a few days ago…my wife and I saw him in concert in the early 90s. We had been enjoying an evening of great music…and he launched into “Unforgettable.” He nailed Nat King Cole’s voice then said into the microphone “If you think that was crazy listen to this.” Next he began singing Natalie’s part in her voice, and nailed that too. It was wild and impressive as hell! So glad you featured this one, Harri. I was in the retail music business when this album came out. Mine was a small store but I think we sold 600-700 copies of the CD in the first 3-4 weeks it was out.
Oh the times when we sold hundreds of albums per week… Getting those boxes in and almost selling them straight from the box right? Especially getting new albums before the release album under embargo. I remember playing Michael Jackson’s ‘Dangerous’ secretly on some headphones because we couldn’t play it in the store yet.
@@NathanVeenstra Hahaha...the 'good old days, and thanks for sharing these memories. I couldn't wait for such upcoming release dates, finally being able to buy the albums and place them on the spindle of the turntable. Then, of course, clean the stylus and record with my Cecil E. Watts kit. Personally, I was fastidious in keeping all of my hundreds of albums in alphabetical order. At least it stayed that way until my son became old enough eh...borrow, shall we say, the album. Totally unplayable even if I found them following extensive searching. Then the miracle of miracles, the Compact Disc and CD player. Nirvana had been achieved...or so I thought. Yep, my son lifted those too, and they came back with the plastic CD case in tatters, and the CDs appeared to have been the victim of sandpaper!! Grrrr....and he had the gall to tell me that he knew nothing and even that he ever took them. It took sending him away to college to resolve this reign of terror.
I saw this many years ago and loved it! I imagine there weren’t many dry eyes in that audience. I just looked it up and discovered that Natalie was around 15 when he died, so hopefully, she had a chance to sing with him for real. 🌺✌️
Lisa Marie Presley did the same type of duo a few years ago with her dad Elvis Presley, of course Elvis passed when she was just a little girl. The song is called "Don't Cry Daddy". Check it out, it really good too.
When Natalie Cole finished this in the studio, she called her mother to the studio. When she heard it for the first time, she cried. She said it was beautiful.
Hank Williams Jr. also did a duet video with his father who passed away when he was really young. Definitely a country drinking song, "Tear in My Beer". This was stunning and one of my favorite ways to hear this song.
They recorded this using the same studio, some of the original musicians, recording staff and the orginal master tapes. All that had been planned. All of that had been planned. When they were starting the producer looked at the master tape and realized they were recording on the very date Nat had recorded it. Natalie said it pushed her over the edge for a minute or two. Had to go out and have a little weep before she could record but when she did it was brilliant! You know her father was grinning ear to ear from on high watching!
She looked just like Nat King Cole in that picture. The video was spooky but in the best way. I lost my father figure in his 40s, and this video makes me very emotional.
Love this and the "thanks dad"... so sweet.
Two beautiful voices...sweet!
Unforgettable is right. They both are.
At 75, this takes me back and for a moment I'm a young man again. Nat King Cole was Mr. Smooth and with his daughter singing with him, brings tears to the eyes. Thanks peace and love.
Exactly like he was in the room! 😥😭 Tears every single time.
***CLASSIC*** Thanks for a stroll down memory lane
my mom loved Nat King Cole. I wish she was still alive so I could share this reaction with her.
My favorite duet! Thanks Harri
BEAUTIFUL!!! GIVES ME CHILLS.......
I have loved this duet for many years. It’s so beautiful and their voices blend so well. I remember when I was a little girl in the 50s and he was the first African American to have his own TV show.

And now Natalie's son has passed. Way too young. 😔
@@rachybaby72 Oh no. That is so sad. Sorry to hear that. 😥
Beautiful
Two great singers. Both died too young. I remember Nat when I was a kid. What a voice.Smooooth!
I cry every time I hear this. So special and beautiful.
Nate King Cole was a once in a millennium talent. No one else compares.
What a beautiful way to honor her father. Lovely performance. Ty
This was so beautiful it brought tears to my eyes.
This duet made a great song greater. Reminds me if my dad playing those Nat King Cole records back in the early 70s.
Takes me back! I remember Nat King Cole way back when! I am now over 70. Back in that Eara of music their where no computers or synthesizers. You had to be in the top of your craft to be in the limelight.!! 😊
Wow what a an Unforgettable duet - a Dad & his Daughter absolutely sublime ! 👏👏
This was such a special moment for Natalie to have this quasi opportunity to sing on stage with her dad. Thanks Harri !
Nat King Cole touches my soul
My Mom played Nat almost every day while she did housework - the first time I saw this duet I cried. so beautiful
The best male voice there ever will be.
One of the best redos ever!! From 1991 -- Unforgettable won Record Of The Year while the LP it's from won Album Of The Year, among other Grammys that year. And most deservedly so!! Natalie is sensational throughout that album!

What a GREAT story!!! 😂 ♥
Always like Mr. Cole's voice. Used to watch his television show a long time ago.

The wonders of technology.

Excellent choice Dave. You can never go wrong with Nat King Cole especially along with his daughter.
Thank you, Cynthia, and I couldn't agree more. BTW, you have been on fire with your latest submissions. Bravo!
@@davebzen795 Thank you Dave. I always second-guess myself when it comes to posting songs. Lol
@@Cynthia... I do as well. That's part of the fun!
I truly pray Natalie has the chance to perform with her dad in a better place. Beautiful.
Just pure magic! First word and I’m a blubbering fool! ❤️🔥
Lovely, lovely, lovely! We all had a crush on Nat, and this is just wonderful!
Nat King Cole is one the greatest singers and piano players who ever lived as well as his daugther Natalie. He was in Heaven at this time when she sang a duet through technology..Both are in Heaven now..
Nat`s voice was like having honey poured in your ears. His Brother Freddie was also a great singer. Freddie died two years ago. He sang mostly Jazz.
Ahhh...what a great description of Nat's perfect pitch voice
I remember listening to Nat King Cole because my parents listened to him & had one of his albums. This was wonderfully done.
My dad absolutely loved Nat King Cole. Please God they are up in heaven and daddy has mam in his arms dancing on a cloud, listening to this man and his daughter sing this for them and the angels in the light of heaven
This made me cry when she sang this with her dad.
This is a special song for me. At my daughter's wedding reception, this was played for the "father-daughter" dance. It was perfect.
This is a true Classic. I remember how much my grandma loved Nat King Cole
I haven't seen this in years and I forgot about the blowing of the kiss at the end. Beautiful. I cried then and now that I have lost my own dad, I am crying even harder now. What a beautiful moment it must have been for Natalie. Imagine if Nat knew that, all those years before, when he blew that kiss on the stage, that it would be used to blow a kiss to his grown up daughter after she sang a duet with him.
My dad and I used to sing this together at karaoke, I sure do miss miss. Glad we had those times together to share our love of music
Unforgettable for both you and your dad. Thank you for sharing this touching memory. -Dave
What fabulous voices and such a beautiful song! Timeless.
Nate had a voice of a generation. Really special.
Bless them both they are both Unforgettable. ❤❤
She did such a great job singing with his late father at that time. Both passed away but never forgotten! Awesome❤️great reaction thank you
Just beautiful. Takes me back to Mom listening to the radio which was on top of the refrigerator and singing along.... Thank you.

Nat "King" Cole died of lung cancer in 1965 at age 45. Natalie was 15 at the time of her father's death.

You're right. This duet was part of Natalie's album "Unforgettable With Love," which was released in 1991. It gets me every time.
Beautiful 🙂
So happy to see this today!! I have loved this song when her Daddy did it, but when Natalie did this and they both harmonize it was/is amazing!! ❤️
Master piece! Nat King Cole and Natalie. The greatest singers in the World! 🎵🎤👍
Have a great day Harri and all music lovers! 🙂
Have loved this one for years !! Thanks Harri✌💫💥
Perfection 💕 gives me a 'natural' high
Agreed and that is exactly why I chose this performance.
One of my father's favorite singers...along with Judy of course..and mine, too!!!!!
That song is unforgettable, esp. because Dad had passed......both with unforgettable voices
We had Nat king Cole's TV show on in the early 60's and as a young kid I thought this guy was very softly spoken, totally sure of himself in a good way and someone if you met you could easily respect. 100% Class.
Harri, your review and commentary were, as always, much appreciated. Thank you for reviewing this performance as it is one of my personal favorites.
Just a beautiful song from both Nat & Natalie Cole. How fabulous to listent to both of them in the song - incredible. xx 💜💜
Nat, of course, is a legend. But Natalie was a phenomenal singer, too. A beautiful voice that didn't get enough praise IMO.
To be able to sing with your dad like that - after he’s gone, but it’s like he’s right there! Beautiful!
My Mom and Dad had Nat King Cole Records that were on the record player all the time. They loved his TV show also. Natalie did soem Duets with Diana Krall that are really good also, check out Natalie and Diana doing "Better than Anything".
Nat's voice was so warm and comforting. Heard him as a child and it hits me the same today.
There are several adjectives I could use regarding this video. I will say it is simply beautiful. Great request and reaction.
I can count on one hand the times I saw my father cry with fingers left over and when he saw this for the first time was one of those times he cried. Between my parents loving Nat King Cole and passing that love to me, we have worn out records, 8 tracks, cassettes, and CDs.
Beautiful and thank you for sharing this with everyone. - Dave
Yes 🙌. I had 💿 by both of them. Just wonderful
SMOOOOTH AS SMOOOOTH CAN GET. SOOOOOO GREAT. REMEMBER THEM BOTH WELL

It's not hard to find. It is on youtube
Nat King Cole was the Voice and Ms. Natalie Cole was such an amazing singer who covered so many genres.
Rambling Rose is still my favorite. But this was sweet.
Very few second-generation performers were able to achieve such a high level of success, always being compared to their famous mother or father. Natalie Cole achieved that kind of success, she was that talented. Nat Cole must have been so very proud of her. Mr. Cole was in a class by himself. Heartbreaking that they both left us way too soon.

Then the writers had her go to heaven so she could decide if she wanted to remain there or come back to her current life. In heaven she is reunited with the love of her life, her first husband and father of her children, who died in an accident at a young age. They're talking and suddenly we're hearing Nat Cole singing of "(They Tried To Tell Us We're) Too Young". They begin to dance and she tells him she feels like she's back years ago, dancing with him like they did to a jukebox. She says she's impressed that they have a jukebox in heaven. He smiles and says "No, we have Nat Cole in heaven." Never forgot that. Someone on that show - a writer or a director, someone - was obviously a huge Nat Cole fan. The man was so very loved.
Got to see this in person was unbelievable
This song and the video always make me cry. There was a video of the song of them together singing when Natalie first released it, and I was just so heartbroken and happy at the same time - I adored Nat King Cole, and it just made me wonder how she was feeling "singing with her dad" the only way she could.

I saw Natalie in concert just a few years before she died and she was terrific!R.I.P.
Just looked it up and Nat King Cole died of lung cancer. He was only 45 years old. Sad.. He died in 1965, the year I was born.
I saw her do this in a concert.
RIP to both Nat King Cole and Natalie Cole
Great and fantastic observations and comments and reaction!
Hank Williams Jr. also did a duet video with his father who passed away when he was really young. Definitely a country drinking song, "Tear in My Beer". This was stunning and one of my favorite ways to hear this song.
They recorded this using the same studio, some of the original musicians, recording staff and the orginal master tapes. All that had been planned. All of that had been planned.

Omg I had JUST now suggested this to you 😆 was watching your vid from yesterday. I knew you'd love it. My God who wouldn't.
Not only Natalie but her only child passed away aged 37 I think in 2017
Hank Williams Jr. was the first when he did A Tear In My Beer with his late father in 1989. This was done in 1992
RIP Nate and Natalie.
