5.0 out of 5 stars Simply gorgeous, October 13, 2002
By Jazysol79 (Germantown, MD USA) - See all my reviews
Natalie Cole was in rare form in 1977 - she had three Grammys, four No. 1 R&B hits and three hit albums. With each, Natalie showed signs of real musical maturity. "Thankful," released in the latter half of '77 is, in my opinion, the best album she ever did. A gorgeous mix of soul, R&B, gospel and jazz, "Thankful" captured Natalie at her "R&B it girl" peak. Boasting a No. 1 smash in "Our Love" and another hit in "Annie Mae," "Thankful" is the earliest evidence of Natalie's trademark versatility, as well as her skill at leaning toward jazz. The former has since become a classic, with Natalie singing the praises of love and affection in all their glory. She really wraps herself around the lyric and gives it her all, pushing the song to a level she rarely reached after that. "Annie Mae" is the emotional tale of a runaway girl, which is grim territory compared to many of Natalie's flowery tales of love from that time. A driving melody takes the song to dramatic, sweeping levels, as Natalie's wails make the song almost palpable. The singles weren't the only treats on this album. The gospelish "Be Thankful" is Natalie at her soul shouting best. The upbeat, jazzy "Lovers" is one of my favorites. Natalie breezes through the song like she's having a ball, as she scats and dips through four minutes of jazzy fun. You can almost imagine her prancing around on stage and getting into it. She really hits her jazzy stride on "La Costa," a tropical journey complete with lush orchestration, birds chirping and ocean waves. That song, as well as many others is a prime example of what made this record work - it has a true ambience to it. It moves from track to track, and brings you in for a musical experience like no other. This is long out of print, but if you track down a CD copy, snatch it up. It's beautiful, simply beautiful!

5.0 out of 5 stars Memory Lane, August 30, 2001
This album was released when I was just 4 years old, but the words are as clear as if it was yesterday. This album brings back so many memories of my MOM and all I can do is smile. She would play this album every Saturday morning awaking us to get up and clean the house. We used brooms and kitchen utensils as our microphone to sing along. It is truly and inspirational album to remind me of "Love"

By Joy (Lakeland, Florida United States) - See all my reviews
This was my favorite tape and I lost it. Been looking for a replacement ever since. What great music and what a great voice. Spent many hours singing my heart out and listening to this.
