Natalie Cole -- one of the great voices in decades -- has died ... TMZ has learned.

Cole, whose hits include "This Will Be" and "Unforgettable" which she performed as a virtual duet with dad Nat King Cole -- died from congestive heart failure, although we're told the underlying medical issues were complications from a kidney transplant and Hepatitis C.

Natalie had been very sick recently, cancelling several tour dates in late December including a New Year's Eve concert at Disney Hall in L.A. She also cancelled an upcoming February concert due to illness.

Natalie, who was married 3 times and has a son, was 65.

Sad news. I was just listening to her on her Dad’s Christmas album which is free for streaming on Amazon Prime for Prime members.

Wow, that makes two celebrities so far. Wayne Rogers from M*A*S*H just died last Thursday at 82. I wonder who’ll be number 3?

Love their Christmas songs.

RIP :(

OMG!! What news to wake up to for the New Years. I loved her songs, and she looked young for being 65. RIP Natalie, you will be missed but your songs will continue. I am glad though that Natalie believed in the Lord. Now she has been reunited with her father Nat.

My mother was a big fan of Nat King Cole. We used to watch his TV show for the short time it was on. RIP Natalie. You and your father can make sweet music together in Heaven.
