Natalie Cole - Natalie Cole en Español

Cole has paid tribute to her dad before. In 1991, she released Unforgettable…with Love, standards previously performed by her father, the legendary Nat King Cole, who died in 1965. Natalie took his recording of the title track and created a Grammy-winning duet. She did the same thing five years later with “When I Fall in Love.” Now Natalie has recorded an album that recalls her dad’s 1958 release Cole Español. Sumptuously recorded, her 13 tracks include such well-known Spanish songs as the Santana hit “Oye Como Va” and “Besame Mucho,” a duet with Andrea Bocelli. One of the best numbers is “Bachata Rosa” by Dominican star Juan Luis Guerra, who joins Natalie for a romantic rendition of his hit. But the showstopper is another duet with her father, this time on “Acércate Más,” which he’d recorded on his first Spanish album. Clearly, a daughter’s love for her dad is a powerful thing.
