    Let's see.  Natalie Cole's career is heading nowhere.  Using 
 electronics (and little or no musical ability), her producers
 spice her and her dad's voices together for a song.  The song
 is a big hit, though unoriginal.  Natalie Cole's "career" is
 revived.  Maybe she didn't sell out, but she sure isn't living
 off her own musical talent.
