We saw Natalie Cole in Tahoe opening for Lou Rawls. Didn't know at the time that she was on cocaine. She struggled through a set and then tried to sing Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds. Her voice cracked and failed throughout. About half-way thru, Rawls came on the stage and turned it into a duet. When the song was over he escorted her off the stage and encouraged applause. He always seemed like a classy guy.
Soon after, she went into rehab. Then we saw her when her album came out with her father's songs. She did a duet of Unforgettable with her father on video. Not a dry eye in the house. Strong voice and I think she still performs.
I pray for Whitney that she can come all the way back.
I saw Natalie Cole a few months ago and she gave an incredible performance. She ended with a gospel song that was fantastic. She’s a wonderful performer and she beat her addiction and I pray Whitney gets healthy as well.
