Was lucky enough to see her at Sheffield City Hall a good few years ago, and was so impressed.
Also remembered seeing her in the Nelson Mandela Wembley Concert in the late 80's with a great
house band doing Pink Cadillac, again really good.
I believe she fought a heroin addiction for years. Such a shame to lose a wonderful talent.
RIP.

[/quote] the great house band was in fact none other than the late great George Duke who did a brief set as a warm up and then Natalie came on for her set - needless to say by the time she came on his band were absolutley smokin [url="http://youtu.be/ZTw1bqDyfCo?"]http://youtu.be/ZTw1bqDyfCo?[/url]

Sad news.
Outstanding career.
RIP.

NC with an absolutely top, top house band.
She always worked with the cream, and deservedly so.

EDIT: Sorry, someone above already posted this tune (an older version).
But, to my ears, they all sound great!

I saw her on a golf course in Hawaii. Neither of us were playing golf, they had converted part of it to an outdoor venue with a large stage and all us punters ( it was a corporate event ) eating picnics on the grass. Great show and she had a lovely voice, and she did the duet with her dad ( on tape, obvs. ) "live".

Saw the Brian Setzer Orchestra in the car park of the same hotel the previous night. They were awesome.
