Natalie certainly inherited her father's genes for a beautiful voice, and she sure knew how to use it to its full beauty! Why do the great ones have to be taken from us too young? But we have this, and I'll be back to hear it again, and probably many more times! Thank you for posting!
Gorgeous woman. Gorgeous voice. Gorgeous interpreting. Gorgeous song! Gorgeous instrumental playing - and arrangement. Wildly under-appreciated. Someone below compares her relatively small following to Beyonce's many millions...but sadly, the average listener doesn't understand the subtleties of music, lyric interpretation or arrangements. Natalie Cole is a sophisticated songstress with a sophisticated audience which means: way above average musical discernment. And I say she IS - because for me - in this world or the next -- she still IS!
NATALIE COLE - I'm Glad There Is You I awoke from sleep a moment ago (exactly 3 a.m.) and checked to see what's playing on Siriusly Sinatra satellite radio. From my favorite Natalie Cole album (Ask a Woman Who Knows) my favorite track, I'M GLAD THERE IS YOU. In this world of overrated pleasures and underrated treasures I'm glad there is you …. Concerning which, I wrote in an Amazon review (2005) : Track 9. "I'm Glad There Is You" - A haunting Jimmy Dorsey/Paul Madeira Latin-influenced ballad from 1941--- ignored by everyone since the fifties. (Old-timers will immediately recognize this beautiful tune.) This time the orchestra is arranged by the (almost) incomparable Alan Broadbent. (If Sinatra were still with us, he'd be doing albums with Alan.) ---- What would Nat Cole say of this album? I close my eyes and see Nat nodding in agreement, that his daughter's voice is even more beautiful, athletic and expressive than his own. Nat was of course a jazz giant who played better piano than practically anyone (other than Oscar and Bill). But I believe in my heart he would agree, his little girl turned out to be an even better singer. Some specifics about this wonderful album, Natalie's "best yet" (and there've been three great ones before this). For those who may still care "Who wrote that song?" this album could have used some liner notes! (So here are mine.) ---- Is it at UA-cam? Even better, a 'live' televised concert performance I see my namesake wrote a 'review' - in the wee small hours (2:00 a.m. 'I year ago') saying .... the exact same thing. “Is it at UA-cam? Even better! This 'live' TV performance - from my favorite of her DVDs, a concert in England, I think. God how I miss Natalie Cole and waiting for her “next album of standards.” Thanks, Aioria Andrei for sharing.

The world is so upside down. This great, immensely talented singer receives 84K 'hits', while Beyonce gets over 700M 'hits'. Natalie was truly talented!!
TO THE MEMBERS OF HER ORCHESTRA ~ I CAN IMAGINE THE EXCITEMENT THAT WAS EXHIBITED WHEN THAT OPPORTUNITY OF COLLABORATING WITH MS NATALIE WAS AVAILABLE 🪄🪄 🌟🌟🌟
This Sultry Goddess of a woman brings me to tears when she sings specially this incredible song. I was blessed with having met her in person she had me at Hello Lives on my heart till we meet again Love you Nat
Dear natalie in this world & in this life, I'm so glad there is you, listening to you sing is one of life's most precious experiences. Thank you for what you do.
Natalie was a magnetic singer,up there with Sarah,Ella,Barbra,Doris Day,Joni James,Celine Dion,and others just as great,not the screaming crap one has to turn off today!

Grew up listening to this woman. And, when she went to jazz; that was when I really fell in love. She will be missed terribly, but she's with her father and mother.
A really great tune, and glad I called on Natalie Cole to sing it; I forgot how wonderful a singer she is. She has a calmness in her singing that is awesome, a pacing that's never hurried, lotsa poise. Thanks for this lovely rendition.
Yet another brilliant performance from Cole.....miss you terribly, but God wanted you to be with him....no argument here....sleep in sweet, heavenly peace.
She discovered herself. . . .Like The Ugly Duckling . . .She became The Most Beautiful Swan. . . .as her Swan Song would be playing soon after this. She was the Best. . . Nancy Wilson was the only one in her league. Wish I could have played for her.
Natalie Cole was and will always be my favorite of all favorites, but the one favorite that I dedicate this song to is the one person who has put up with my ass for the last 8 years; my life partner.
