Spotlight Gold: Natalie Cole - “This Will Be”

Youngblood Spotlights “This Will Be” by Natalie Cole.

Via Songfacts.com:
Natalie Cole's first single, this funky pop song made a statement that she was not going to be a ballad singer like her famous father, Nat King Cole, who died when she was 15. Natalie worked hard to stay out of her father's shadow, and didn't start singing seriously until her senior year at the University of Massachusetts. After graduating in 1972 with a degree in child psychology, she started singing at small venues and met the producers Chuck Jackson and Marvin Yancy in 1974. Jackson and Yancy were in the group The Independents, which had broken up. They recorded Cole at Curtis Mayfield's studio in Chicago, writing and producing all the songs that would get her a record deal with Capitol (also her dad's label) and become the Inseparable album.
