Natalie Maria Cole (February 6, 1950 – December 31, 2015)

 

Los Angeles (AP) – Publicist Maureen O’Connor says Cole, the daughter
of jazz legend Nat "King" Cole, died Thursday night at Cedars-Sinai
Medical Center
in Los Angeles, California due to persistent health
complications.

She had battled drug problems and hepatitis that forced her to undergo
a kidney transplant in May 2009.

Cole’s 1991 album, "Unforgettable … With Love," sold some 14 million
copies and won six Grammys. It featured reworked versions of some of
her father’s best-known songs
