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.
