    All Music Guide Review

    Natalie Cole's liner notes for Still Unforgettable make it sound like the Great American Songbook had been collecting dust on her shelf since 1991, when she recorded Unforgettable, the album that shot her into the mainstream. (She had been releasing Top Ten R&B albums since 1975, but Unforgettable was something else, a cultural phenomenon that inspired a Saturday Night Live skit.) Still Unforgettable features another duet with father, "Walkin' My Baby Back Home," but its make-up isn't that much different from albums like Take a Look (1993), Stardust (1996), or Ask a Woman Who Knows. While she has been reinterpreting classics on and off for nearly two decades now, she can't be faulted for phoning it in; in fact, she seems to be having more fun with the songbook than before. If you're keeping score at home, Nat King Cole was 32 when he recorded "Walkin' My Baby Back Home"; Natalie was in her late 50s when she recorded the duet with her father's vocals -- which would, for the sake of the song here, make her old enough to be her father's mother. ~ Andy Kellman, All Music Guide

    Seventeen years after the release of her multiplatinum, award winning album Unforgettable: With Love, eight-time GRAMMY®-winning vocalist Natalie Cole delves back into the great American Songbook to recreate the feel and flow of that landmark title with STILL UNFORGETTABLE. The album marks Cole's first producer credit, and features fourteen all-new recordings on which the singer lends her voice to classic songs including "The Best Is Yet To Come," "Nice 'N' Easy" and "Something's Gotta Give." Also featured is another memorable duet with her late father, the legendary Nat King Cole, on "Walkin' My Baby Back Home."

    Natalie Cole rose to stardom with her 1975 debut album Inseparable, which introduced the #1 single "This Will Be (An Everlasting Love)," and earned Cole two GRAMMY® awards - Best New Artist and Best Female R&B Vocal Performance. An inspired, jazz-flavored collection of standards, 1991's Unforgettable was a bold leap from the R&B sound that had won Cole so much success, and it was a life and career-changing move. The album - which featured Cole's duet with her father on the title track - went to #1 on Billboard's pop and jazz charts, earned five GRAMMY® awards (including Song, Record and Album of the Year) and sold more than 14 million copies worldwide.
