Tributes have poured in and Rev. Jesse
Jackson tweeted on New Year's Day:
"#NatalieCole, sister beloved & of substance
and sound. May her soul rest in peace.
#Inseperable."
Tragically her father died before Natalie began
her solo career, but she continued to soar to
success.
Natalie rose to musical success in the
mid-1970s as an R&N singer, before re-
emerging in 1987 with her album Everlasting.
She won an incredible nine Grammys from 21
nominations over her career, including the Best
New Artist Grammy.
Cole was married three times and leaves
behind a son, Robert Adam "Robbie" Yancy,
from her first marriage to producer Marvin
Yancy.
