Natalie Cole, the Grammy Award-winning singer whose top-selling albums preserved the musical legacy of her father, Nat “King” Cole, and established her as a powerful musical talent in her own right, died Dec. 31 at a hospital in Los Angeles. She was 65.

Her family announced the death but did not disclose a specific cause. Ms. Cole, who suffered earlier in her life from drug addiction, had contracted hepatitis and underwent a kidney transplant in 2009.

Billed at one time as Natalie “Queen” Cole, Ms. Cole found her earliest musical mentor in her father, the onetime jazz pianist who became one of the best-known singers of the 1940s, ’50s and ’60s. She was attending boarding school in Massachusetts when he died of lung cancer in 1965.

Another gone too soon.

I know she had several serious medical problems due to a previous drug addiction history but still 65 is too young.
