Natalie Cole
Born:
When singer Natalie Cole was in college at the University of Massachusetts at Amherst, she performed weekends at nightclubs.

The album earned seven Grammy awards and stayed on the pop charts for several weeks. For Natalie, it was a special tribute to her legendary father who died of lung cancer when she was only 15. Natalie is one of five children born to the famous singer Nat King Cole and his wife Maria
