Cherry Red Records Thankful- Expanded Edition

Released 17/10/11. Natalie Cole was enjoying international success in 1977 when Capitol Records issued her third album, THANKFUL.
Like its predecessors, the LP was produced by the Chicago team of Chuck Jackson & Marvin Yancy and contained a number of Natalie’s own compositions including the USTop 10 R&Bhit, Annie Mae.
A US Top 20 pop and Top 5 R&B charted album, THANKFUL (long out of print on CD) was certified platinum and boasted the US million-selling R&BNo. 1 and No. 15 pop single, Our Love.
This reissue is the second Cole album from SoulMusic.com Records following the February 2011 release of Natalie Live (SMCR-5009D) Key cuts on THANKFUL include the gospel-driven title track; the smooth quiet storm -flavoured Cole fan favourite, La Costa (co-written by Natalie and her then-musical director Linda Williams); the jazzy Lovers (another tune co-penned by Natalie); and the Cole composition, the heartfelt Keeping A Light.
