Angel On My Shoulder by Natalie Cole

Angel On My Shoulder by Natalie Cole

Born to legendary singer Nat "King" Cole in the halcyon days of the 1950's, Natalie Cole grew up to become a versatile and soulful singer whose talents catapulted her all the way to Grammy Award-winning status. But that success came with a price. Dragged down by drugs, depression and divorce - and enduring everything from bankruptcy proceedings to surviving the ordeals of rehab - Natalie realised she had spun out of control and was in grave danger of losing custody of her son. What follows is the inspirational and riveting story of her tremendous musical comeback, from wrenching heartbreak to crowning glory, culminating in the international success of Unforgettable with Love, a tribute to her dad.

Over the past four decades, Natalie Cole has performed the world over, won multiple Grammys, and sold tens of millions of records in the genres of R&B, pop, and jazz. She is perhaps best known for her 1991 album, Unforgettable . . . with Love, featuring her vocal arrangements of her father's greatest hits with piano accompaniment by her uncle Ike Cole, which won several Grammy awards, including Album of the Year and Best Traditional Pop Vocal Performance.

As an actress, she starred in director Delbert Mann's Lily in Winter and co-starred with Laurence Fishburn and Cicely Tyson in Walter Mosley's Always Outnumbered. She played herself in Livin' For Love: The Natalie Cole Story, the biopic of her life, which aired on NBC. Natalie has made more than 300 major television appearances, from dramas like Law and Order and Touched by an Angel to talk shows with Oprah Winfrey, Ellen DeGeneres, and Larry King. She lives in Los Angeles, California.

David Ritz is a songwriter who has collaborated with stars like Janet Jackson and Marvin Gaye, as well as a renowned ghostwriter who has authored more than fifty books for some of the biggest stars in music: Aretha Franklin, Marvin Gaye, Ray Charles, Lenny Kravitz, Joe Perry, Smokey Robinson, Don Rickles, and Willie Nelson, to name a few. His articles have appeared in The New York Times, Rolling Stone, Essence, People, US, Art Connoisseur, and TV . He lives in Los Angeles with Roberta, his wife of 47 years.
