I've always liked Natalie Cole's recordings of classic songs. She's not her father, but she's a pretty damn good singer. I thought it unusual that she would choose to do an album of songs in Spanish, but her father also sang a lot of classic love songs in Spanish - and some of them appear on this album. Spotify has two versions of this album - one has narration explaining the songs, which is quite helpful.Here's the track listing. If anybody would like to post lyrics, translations, or background information on the songs, this thread would be a good place for it.
But take a listen to the album. Natalie Cole has a beautiful voice, and her interpretations of these songs are very good.
