Unpredictable

For the first time on one cd, raven presents two essential albums from the vibrant natalie cole: 'inseparable' (1975) and 'unpredictable' (1977). Her capitol records debut 'inseparable' was a major chart success (billboard r&b #1) and has been unavailable for many years, while the platinum selling 'unpredictable' (billboard pop #8) has amazingly never appeared on cd before now! The daughter of jazz legend nat king cole, natalie forged a successful career during the 1970s, releasing a string of popular albums in the soul/r&b vein. Working with writer/producer team chuck jackson and marvin yancy, cole created two of her finest lps in 'inseparable' and 'unpredictable'. 'inseparable' features a versatile mixture of upbeat contemporary numbers and aretha franklin styled churchified testimonies and ballads in which her voice takes centre stage. It yielded two r&b #1s with the joyous gospel-drenched 'this will be (an everlasting love)' (also pop #6) and the hit ballad 'inseparable'. She walked away that year with two grammy awards (best female r&b vocal performance and best new artist). 'unpredictable' kept up the standard with another r&b #1 hit 'i've got love on my mind' and the exuberant 'party lights'. With superb audio quality and detailed liner notes by all music guide writer andy kellman this outstanding 2-for-1 captures two of natalie cole's finest soul albums.

1975年Natalie Cole进入歌坛一炮而红,1977年2月发行第三张大碟[Unpredictable] 仍由Chuck Johnson/Marvin Yancy制作，获得好评，专辑升至流行榜＃8 是她1991年前名次最成功的专辑，黑人榜二度封后，并成为其首张拿到当时刚设定不久的白金销量认证。大碟的成功要归功于首单[I've Got Love on My Mind]。
