Natalie in 1975 |
Rising star
Although one of her most memorable releases was the posthumous duet of Unforgettable with her late father in 1991, her hitmaking career had begun some sixteen years earlier with the 1975 release of This Will Be
Her follow-up single Inseparable
Continuing popularity
Released in 1976, her next album Natalie followed Inseparable
Her output continued apace when in 1977 Cole released what would become two back to back platinum-certified albums - a first for a female recording artist - in Unpredictable
Each album contained songs that would see Natalie return to the Top 10 of the US pop charts and become classics of their genre: firstly I've Got Love on My Mind
Television and duets
The big pop hits of the 1970s began to dry up, though. Nevertheless, her singles continued to perform well on the American R&B chart where tracks such as Annie Mae
However, three more gold-certified albums followed before the end of the decade: 1978's Live
