A Short Time Ago, A Demo Tape Arrived On My Desk Bearing The Name Natalie Cole. Being More Than Familiar With Legions Of Sons And Daughters Of Great Artists Who Have Attempted To Follow In Their Parents' Footsteps—only To Fall (sometimes Miserably)-the Mere Presence Of The Tape Created No Great Excitement In My Life. In Fact, It Laid Around For A Few Days.
When I Did Play It, However, All This Changed. The Beauty And Power Of This Young Lady's Voice Became Apparent Immediately. There Is No Doubting The Fact That Miss Cole Is Blessed With That Rare Talent Destined To Make Her A Star Of Enormous Magnitude For Some Time To Come.
I Am Certain That Obvious Comparisons Of Miss Cole's Voice To That Of A Few Noted Female Singers Will Be Made. This, However, Can Only Be Superficial. For, After One Has Really Listened To This Album, The Uniqueness And Quality Of Miss Cole's Own Voice And Style Will Become Readily Apparent.
The Songs Presented On Miss Cole’s Debut Album Were All Written And Composed By The Album's Producers, Messrs. Chuck Jackson And Marvin Yancy. These Two Individuals Have, In My Opinion, Superbly Captured The Beauty, Power And Range Of Miss Cole.
From The Opening Rocker Of 'Needing You' To The Closing Sensuousness Of “You" Miss Cole’s Versatility Is Dramatically Showcased.
Needless To Say We At Capitol Are Tremendously Pleased By Our Reunion With The Cole Family. It Has Always Been Pleasant And One That We Are Grateful To Be Able To Continue.
