70s and 80s icon, Natalie Cole graced the stage of Mershon Auditorium in Columbus last night. Dressed in an orange jump suit, Ms. Cole without fanfare, simply walked to the mike and began a 90 minute set of great jazz and pop standards. Included in the mix was "Stardust", "Our Love Is Here to Stay", a Sinatra tune, one from Sammy Davis Jr. and several others of the period including her father's "Get Your Kicks on Route 66". Natalie also sang a tribute to great friends and artists who have passed on, including songs made popular by Whitney, MJ, Etta James, Donna Summer and a couple more. Throw in 3 Spanish songs from her upcoming album, and 3 hits, "This Will Be An Everlasting Love', "Miss You Like Crazy" and "Unforgettable" sung with her dad, Nat King Cole, on the screen behind her, and you have an evening of terrific memories and song!
