Natalie Cole

Better face the facts, ol' buddy
And be prepared to take the blow
You don't have to sit and study
It's something anyone should know

Shake hands
Get your hat
And go

You can praise her eyes
And adore her hair
But, if love ain't there
It ain't there

And you can walk her home
In the warm spring air
But, if love ain't there
It ain't there

And you can look with a longing in your look
And try every method in the book
And worship the smile that kind of
Took you unaware

And you can weep and sigh, you can say, "Unfair"
You can almost die of despair
But, if love ain't there
It ain't there

The daughter of jazz legend Nat King Cole, Natalie Marie Cole (February 6, 1950-December 31, 2015) was an R&B icon who was primarily active from 1956 until her death in 2015 due to congestive heart failure at age 65. She first rose to success in the mid-‘70s with Inseparable and Natalie and later spawning Grammy-recognized albums like Unforgettable…With Love, which took home Album of the Year.

Cole has nine Grammy Awards out of twenty-one nominations – only a small testament to her legend.
