Sunday Classics 02.11.2025​

Hey members!

Ready to slow it down with a Sunday Classic that’s all heart? This week, thanks to member @Leenie, we’re spotlighting 'Unforgettable' by Nat King Cole—but not just any version. This one’s a virtual duet with his daughter, Natalie Cole, released decades after the original and filled with emotional resonance.

Originally recorded in 1951, 'Unforgettable' is one of Nat King Cole’s most iconic songs—an ode to love’s lasting impression. Then in 1991, Natalie Cole reimagined the song as a duet with her late father, using cutting-edge tech (for the time!) to blend their voices. The result? A breathtaking cross-generational collaboration that won multiple Grammys and brought the song to a whole new audience.

It’s a tribute, a time capsule, and a tearjerker all in one. Go give it a listen—and let us know: what other timeless tracks would you love to see featured next?

My mum would sing this tune ( not as well as Nat King Cole) around the house when I was a little kid. That was mid 50’s. have never forgotten it to this day, and reckon he had the smoothest voice ever.
Still a classic.
