Travel my way, take the highway that's the best
Get your kicks, on Route 66

When you make, that Cal-i-fornia trip
Get your kicks, on Route 66

Come on and get your kicks, on Route 6-6
Get your kicks, on Route 66

Natalie Cole

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.
