This is Natalie at her jazz best and voice. She lived those notes, phrases and scats. Ella embraced her and thanked Natalie for recording Unforgettable! No one can touch Natalie when she sings this type of jazz. This performance in my opinion outdid the Unforgettable performance. She really truly honored Ella through this performance. Bravo, bravo, bravo and she received a standing ovation. Pure class and talent!!!!!
NATALIE COLE WAS BORN TO SING THIS WONDERFUL MUSIC 🤗🤗 SHE LEARN FROM THE VERY BEST 😃 NAT, ELLA , NANCY, AND SIMPLY OUTSTANDING SINGING FROM MY FAVORITE SONGSTRESS OF ALL TIME 👍👍🤗🤗
I hope this received a standing ovation. Absolute perfection. She’s one of the best at scatting I’ve ever heard. Her version really lives up to Ella Fitzgerald, without copying it.
Many of those young Black women (and Celine) try to emulate Ella Fitzgerald BUT, they just can't -- there's NO one who can sing jazz and scat like Ella, though they try, and some do it fairly passable. It's VERY nice that Natalie had that big photo of Ella, honoring her. Natalie does the best imitation by far. She certainly got the great song genes from her father!
