    Pros: She lets it all hang out!

    Cons: NONE!!!

    Natalie Cole has a voice like no other. I love her! I have been looking for this CD for quite a while with no success. Her performance on this CD is off the charts!!! The way she does "I'm Catching Hell" is awsome! I have the studio ver...sion on a couple different CDs. My younger sisters have told me repeatedly that I must get the "Live" version. I do have the LP but I cannot burn it. I need the CD to play anywhere and anytime! "I'm Catching Hell is not the only song that is good on this album; the entire CD is a must have. Read more Less

    Pros: She is the only pro with a voice like that

    Cons: There is no conning when it comes to the sexy soul songstress

    This young lady is a phenomenom. A voice that carries her tunes long after the music sopd. Her voice is unlimited and never ending.She should be in every Hall Of Fame, she deserves to be there.

Pro Reviews: Natalie Live!

  • All Music Guide

    Regrettably, most of the RB artists who emerged in the '70s never recorded official live albums -- and bootlegs aren't an option in most cases because bootleggers usually stick to rock and pop. Natalie Cole fans, however, were given a pleasant surprise when, in 1978, Capitol provided the double-LP Natalie Live. This excellent release contains the highlights of two concerts: one at ~the Universal Amphitheater in Universal City, CA, (a Los Angeles suburb) in August 1977, and the other at ~the Latin Casino in Cherry Hill, NJ, (near Philadelphia) in March 1978. Backed by solid bands, Cole is inspired and passionate on performances of gems from Inseparable ("I Can't Say No," "This Will Be," and the title song) and Natalie ("Sophisticated Lady") as well as Unpredictable ("I've Got Love on My Mind," "Party Lights") and Thankful ("Our Love" and "Lovers"). Cole also surprises us with a few covers that weren't on any of her studio LPs, including a sweaty version of "Cry Baby" and a totally unexp...ected performance of the Beatles' "Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds." That psychedelic classic might seem like an odd choice for Cole, but the tune actually works quite well for her. Besides, Cole never claimed to be a soul purist -- she never swore off rock or pop, and some of the gems that she performs have jazz overtones (including "Lovers" and "Mr. Melody"). One could nitpick about the absence of the enchanting, Brazilian-flavored "La Costa," which drove quiet storm programmers wild. But all things considered, Natalie Live is an exciting document of the singer's live performances of the late '70s. - Alex Henderson, All Music Guide Read more Less
