Natalie Cole's death is the world's loss

| February 4, 2016 12:45 PM

The death of Natalie Cole caught me off guard, even though I knew that she been ill. She was painfully thin but still had the velvety voice. I was a freshman at Alcorn A&M College in Lorman, Miss., when her famous dad died. My roommates and I were glued to the radio. Nat King Cole and his family were like royalty. We would envy him in the best of situations. He had a fancy house with a swimming pool. We heard that Mr. Cole had a national TV show. We didn’t get to see the show in Lorman, Miss. Nat King Cole was loved by my grandmother, mother and myself. I remembering saying there will never be another velvet voice. We listen to RANDY, a radio station in Tennessee, play all of his hits.
