REVIEW:
Backed by top-caliber jazz instrumentals, Natalie Cole’s pristine vocals justify the album’s sentimental title. Case in point: though saved for last, “Unforgettable, ” including its technical wizardry, is a phenomenal treat.
As a time machine exuding her father’s greatest hits, Natalie Cole’s classy Unforgettable … With Love is highly recommended!
PACKAGING:
The CD is well-protected within a standard casing. The well-designed insert completes a mighty class package.
BRIAN’S ODD MOON RATING: 10 Stars
