Natalie Cole "This Will Be" 1975

[Deleted]

This was the track that introduced Natalie Cole to radio in 1975. It was the first single from the "Inseparable" album. It hit #6 on the Hot 100 and #1 on the black charts.

The piano on this song is really amazing. I'm not sure if it's my favorite by Natalie Cole. I love "Our Love" and a few others, but this is really a great song.

[WhySoSerious?]

I like it as well. Great upbeat tune, but I think it's a bit cheesy. That doesn't take anything away from my like of the song though.

Cheesy? Maybe because of the era its lumped in with, I kinda think this song is above most of the other 70s pop disco, but I'm not really a fan of it. I don't think I even have a copy of this anywhere, but I would like to hear it again.

All I remember is the title, which is more than I can say for the other songs out at the time.

[ClassicCase]

I remember that song. I LOVE Natalie Cole (and who doesn't?). I grew up listening to her music ESPECIALLY this one. Marvin Yancy co-wrote that song in which I believe that him and Natalie hooked up. I think it's a happy tune back then and I don't see this as a cheesy song (or so I was told). But I do have that in my collection. Good song.

My Favorite from her, along with "our love."

Classic.

[Glove Slap]

This is a nice song.

[Agent Yoncé]

I don't think this song could ever get old to me. Still love it everytime it gets those lovely recurrent spins on my local UAC stations.

[Landmarx]

The best.

[surfy]

A classic. <3

[DJDaveMick69]

My fave--an oldie #1 for me in late 2011. It may re-hit my chart--RIP.

[Soulsista]

AKA The e-Harmony Song.

One of my favorites by her.

Love it. Classic and classy song.

You Know What It Is: Natalie Cole’s deliriously loved-up testimony to a relationship that she is very, very, VERY convinced is going to be around for a minute.

This Magic Moment: Not like the rest of “This Will Be” is particularly notable for its restraint, but Cole’s spirit basically leaves her body for the song’s cartoonishly fevered climax: “HUGGIN-AN-SQUEEZIN-AN-KISSIN-AN-PLEASIN-TOGETHER-FOREVER-THROUGH-RAIN-AN-WHATEVER!!!”

The Sun Always Shines on T.V.: For better or worse, folks who watched a decent amount of TV in the ’00s will be never be able to hear those opening piano chords without thinking about Dr. Neil Clark Warren.
