LOS ANGELES (AP) - Natalie Cole, the Grammy-winning daughter of Nat "King" Cole" who carried on her late father's musical legacy and, through technology, shared a duet with him on "Unforgettable," has died. She was 65.
Natalie died Thursday evening at Cedar Sinai Hospital in Los Angeles due to compilations from ongoing health issues, her family said in a statement.
"Natalie fought a fierce, courageous battle, dying how she lived ... with dignity, strength and honor. Our beloved Mother and sister will be greatly missed and remain UNFORGETTABLE in our hearts forever," read the statement from her son Robert Yancy and sisters Timolin and Casey Cole.
Cole had battled drug problems and hepatitis that forced her to undergo a kidney transplant in May 2009. Cole's older sister, Carol "Cookie" Cole, died the day she received the transplant. Their brother, Nat Kelly Cole, died in 1995.
Natalie Cole was inspired by her dad at an early age and auditioned to sing with him when she was just 11 years old. She was 15 when he died of lung cancer, in 1965.
She began as an R&B singer but later gravitated toward the smooth pop and jazz standards that her father loved.
Cole's greatest success came with her 1991 album, "Unforgettable ... With Love," which paid tribute to her father with reworked versions of some of his best-known songs, including "That Sunday That Summer," ''Too Young" and "Mona Lisa."
Her voice was spliced with her dad's in the title cut, offering a delicate duet a quarter-century after his death.
The album sold some 14 million copies and won six Grammys, including album of the year as well record and song of the year for the title track duet.
While making the album, Cole told The Associated Press in 1991, she had to "throw out every R&B lick that I had ever learned and every pop trick I had ever learned. With him, the music was in the background and the voice was in the front."
"I didn't shed really any real tears until the album was over," Cole said. "Then I cried a whole lot. When we started the project it was a way of reconnecting with my dad. Then when we did the last song, I had to say goodbye again."
She was also nominated for an Emmy award in 1992 for a televised performance of her father's songs.
"That was really my thank you," she told People magazine in 2006. "I owed that to him."
Another father-daughter duet, "When I Fall in Love," won a 1996 Grammy for best pop collaboration with vocals, and a follow-up album, "Still Unforgettable," won for best traditional pop vocal album of 2008.
Cole made her recording debut in 1975 with "Inseparable." The music industry welcomed her with two Grammy awards — one for best new artist and one for best female R&B vocal performance for her buoyant hit "This Will Be (An Everlasting Love)."
She also worked as an actress, with appearances on TV's "Touched by an Angel" and "Grey's Anatomy."
But she was happiest touring and performing live.
"I still love recording and still love the stage," she said on her website in 2008, "but like my dad, I have the most fun when I am in front of that glorious orchestra or that kick-butt big band."
Cole was born in 1950 to Nat "King" Cole and his wife, Maria Ellington Cole, a onetime vocalist with Duke Ellington who was no relation to the great bandleader.
Her father was already a recording star, and he rose to greater heights in the 1950s and early '60s. He toured worldwide, and in 1956 he became the first black entertainer to host a national TV variety show, though poor ratings and lack of sponsors killed it off the following year. He also appeared in a few movies and spoke out in favor of civil rights.
Natalie Cole grew up in Los Angeles' posh Hancock Park neighborhood, where her parents had settled in 1948 despite animosity from some white residents about having the black singer as a neighbor. When told by residents didn't want "undesirable people" in the area, the singer said, "Neither do I, and if I see (any), I'll be the first to complain."
The family eventually included five children.
Natalie Cole started singing seriously in college, performing in small clubs.
But in her 2000 autobiography, "Angel on My Shoulder," Cole discussed how she had battled heroin, crack cocaine and alcohol addiction for many years. She spent six months in rehab in 1983.
When she announced in 2008 that she had been diagnosed with hepatitis C, a liver disease spread through contact with infected blood, she blamed her past intravenous drug use.
She criticized the Recording Academy for giving five Grammys to drug user Amy Winehouse in 2008.
"I'm an ex-drug addict and I don't take that kind of stuff lightly," Cole explained at the 2009 Grammy Awards. Hepatitis C "stayed in my body for 25 years and it could still happen to this young woman or other addicts who are fooling around with drugs, especially needles."
Cole received chemotherapy to treat the hepatitis and "within four months, I had kidney failure," she told CNN's Larry King in 2009. She needed dialysis three times a week until she received a donor kidney on May 18, 2009. The organ procurement agency One Legacy facilitated the donation from a family that had requested that their donor's organ go to Cole if it was a match.
Cole toured through much of her illness, often receiving dialysis at hospitals around the globe.
"I think that I am a walking testimony to you can have scars," she told People magazine. "You can go through turbulent times and still have victory in your life."

The rift between Lil Wayne and and his record label looks like it might finally be over.
Cash Money Records co-owner, Bryan "Baby" Williams, posted an Instagram photo Friday morning, January 1, that shows him ringing in the new year with Weezy, Young Money Records President, Mack Maine, Drake and 2 Chainz.
The caption on the photo, which has now been changed, hinted at the long awaited release of Wayne's album, "Tha Carter V."
"C5 poppin," Baby wrote, before changing the caption to "2016 #makemusic #lifestyle #YMCMB4Ife."
Mack Maine posted the same photo on his IG page and sent out several tweets indicating things were being worked out.
Wayne and Birdman had been at odds for a year. The rapper filed a breach of contract lawsuit against Baby and Cash Money Records for $51 million in January 2015.
The suit claimed that Cash Money violated the deal in three ways.
1. Not paying Wayne an $8 million advance when he began recording Tha Carter V in December 2013.
2. Failing to pay Wayne an additional $2 million upon completion of the album a year later.
Kanye West drops some heavy heat to kick 2016 off on the right note. Check out his new song titled "Facts." The track was produced by Metro Boomin and Southside.
The Shy Glizzy chain snatching saga appears to have come to a peaceful ending. Rapper Blac Youngsta of Yo Gotti's Collective Music Group bought the jewelry back from Memphis collective, Cartel Business, for $10,000.

"We asked for $50K, but we let Youngsta bring us $10K, but you can still come get it nigga. It is what it is," YRNCasino says in video footage of the exchange.
This was all made possible because of Blac Youngsta's relationship with Glizzy.
"Youngsta say he fuck with dude. He say he fuck with him tough. That's the only reason [this happened]. Ain't no nice shit going on," said another Cartel Business member.
Glizzy also released a video showing that he was in possession of the chain. Don't expect to see him wearing it again though. In his latest song, "Cut It," the Washington, D.C. rapper said he's bought a better one that he dares anyone to touch.
Sometimes it's best to ignore a negative person on Instagram, instead of giving them a platform to clap at you.
Rick Ross found that out the hard way when he responded to an Instagram user who dissed him in the comment section of a photo he posted of himself and Diddy.
"You can have millions of dollars and you still not gonna look good in the club with shades on," HollyHeat2U wrote.
The comment caught Ross' attention. He responded by trying to clown Holly's looks.
"Your nose bit long. nah nah lol," he replied.
Holly, a self-professed "proud Drake fan," provided the final lethal blow when she wrote, "true but at least I'm not fat AF. Where's Drake when I need him to kill the rest of y'all careers???"

Ronda Rousey had vowed to beat all of her opponents and retire undefeated. Those plans were derailed when she was brutally knocked out by Holly Holm while defending her Bantamweight Championship belt at UFC 193 in Australia on November 15, 2015.
The loss forced the 28-year old Judoka to reassess her future as a mixed martial arts competitor. A rematch with Holm is being planned by the UFC, but there's already talk that if the "Rowdy" one loses she will retire from fighting.
An emotional Holly Holm reacts to her win against Ronda Rousey
Rousey's sister, Maria Burns Ortiz, recently talked with Vice Sports to talk about the fight and the affect it had on her sibling.
"We expected Ronda to win. Just like we always do. Just like we always will. But she didn't. I haven't rewatched it. I haven't read about it. I won't," Ortiz said. "I don't see a point in reliving the moment when a part of my loved one died, when I saw someone I cared about have her soul crushed. I saw how horrible people can be to someone they don't even know, which made me even more appreciative when I saw how wonderfully Ronda's friends and family treated her. Those are the people that matter."
Most of the all-time greats in both mixed martial arts and boxing have lost bouts. There's no shame in that. Just about every one of them rebounded and continued their careers.
If Rousey checks out of the game following a second loss to Holm, I don't see any way she should be ranked among the best in her sport.

Comedian/actor Eddie Griffin recently talked with DJ Vlad about the help Bill Cosby gave him early on in his career. He also gave his opinion on the current drugging and sexual assault allegations being made against Cosby.
"First off you have to remember this was in the 70's," Griffin said. "The 70's is a different time. Motherfuckers all had coke spoons around their necklace. You go to the disco, the line is laid out on the table...toot, toot. When you want to level out after a hit of cocaine you get a Quaalude. So, did he rape these bitches? All of 'em said the same thing, 'we went to the room.' Why would you go to the room of a known married man?"
Griffin feels like there is something strange about the timing of the allegations.
"30 years...I don't understand that," he continued. "That's like a motherfucker robbing me and then I wait 30 years to call the police. 'I got robbed in 1984, and it's him!' There is a systematic effort to destroy every black male entertainer's image. They want us all to have an asterisk by our name."
50 Cent might be able to do something the New York Police Department can't. That is, get New York Knicks player Cleanthony Early's stolen jewelry back.
As we previously reported, Early was the victim of a robbery Wednesday morning, December 30, after leaving CityScapes Gentleman’s Club in Queens, New York.
Iliana Douge and Cleanthony Early
Early and his girlfriend, Iliana Douge, were in an Uber cab that got boxed in by three cars at around 4:20 a.m. Six ski-masked individuals exited the vehicles and told Early to run his jewels. They took his cash, as well as the gold caps on the player's teeth and jewelry. During the robbery Early was shot in the right knee.
He underwent surgery at a local hospital for non-life threatening injuries.
50, a Southside Jamaica, Queens, New York native, posted an article about the incident on his Instagram page, along with a caption indicating his intention to get Early's belongings back.
"They hungry out here man, you in the league, you made it, you gotta chill. He only 24 he gonna want to party, I'm a see if I can get his stuff back. TODAY!," he wrote.
This booking photograph released by the Montgomery County District Attorney’s Office shows Bill Cosby, who was arrested and charged Wednesday, Dec. 30, 2015, in district court in Elkins Park, Pa., with aggravated indecent assault. Cosby is accused of drugging and sexually assaulting a woman at his home in January 2004.
Video After The Jump
(CNN) Hours after he set foot in a Pennsylvania courtroom to face sexual assault charges, Bill Cosby's attorneys called the criminal case against him "unjustified" and vowed to fight it.
"The charge by the Montgomery County District Attorney's office came as no surprise, filed 12 years after the alleged incident and coming on the heels of a hotly contested election for this county's DA during which this case was made the focal point," Cosby's attorneys said in a statement released after his arraignment Wednesday. "Make no mistake, we intend to mount a vigorous defense against this unjustified charge and we expect that Mr. Cosby will be exonerated by a court of law."
Cosby, whose legacy as a comedian has been tarnished by multiple accusations of sexual assault, faces three felony charges of aggravated indecent assault in the case, which is tied to a 2004 accusation in Montgomery County.
He looked down and was guided as he walked into a small courtroom. The judge set his bail at $1 million and ordered him to surrender his passport. Cosby did not enter a plea.
Following the brief arraignment, Cosby went to the police station in Cheltenham Township, where he was booked per protocol. Cosby posted bail and left the police station.
These are the first charges levied against Cosby since the allegations first arose. Cosby has steadfastly denied any wrongdoing.
After looking at all the evidence in the 2004 allegations, prosecutors decided to charge Cosby "because it was the right thing to do," Montgomery County prosecutor Kevin Steele said.
The district attorney, who was elected to his post last month, did not name the victim, but the accusations he announced parallel the allegations made by former Temple University employee Andrea Constand. She has said Cosby drugged and fondled her in January 2004.
The criminal complaint and Constand's attorney, Dolores Troiani, confirmed that the criminal charges relate to Constand's case.
She was the first person to publicly allege sexual assault by Cosby.
NORRISTOWN, Pa. (AP) — Bill Cosby was charged Wednesday with sexually assaulting a woman at his home 12 years ago — the first criminal charges brought against the comedian out of the torrent of allegations that destroyed his good-guy image as America's Dad.
The case sets the stage for perhaps the biggest Hollywood celebrity trial of the mobile-all-the-time era and could send the 78-year-old Cosby to prison in the twilight of his life and barrier-breaking career.
In bringing the case, Montgomery County District Attorney Risa Vetri Ferman overruled her predecessor, who declined to charge Cosby in 2005 when Temple University employee Andrea Constand first told police that the comic drugged her and violated her by putting his hands down her pants at his mansion in suburban Philadelphia.
Andrea Constand
Cosby was charged with aggravated indecent assault and was to be arraigned in the afternoon.
The TV star acknowledged under oath a decade ago that he had sexual contact with Constand but said it was consensual.
The charges were announced just days before the 12-year statute of limitations for bringing charges was set to run out.
Prosecutors reopened the case over the summer as damaging testimony was unsealed in Constand's related civil lawsuit against Cosby and as dozens of other women came forward with similar accusations that made a mockery of his image as the wise and understanding Dr. Cliff Huxtable from TV's "The Cosby Show."
Many of those alleged assaults date back decades, and the statute of limitations for bringing charges has expired in nearly every case.
Constand, who is now 42 and works as a massage therapist in her native Canada, is ready to face Cosby in court, her attorney, Dolores Troiani, said this fall.
"She's a very strong lady," Troiani said. "She'll do whatever they request of her."
The charges add to the towering list of legal problems facing the actor, including defamation and sex-abuse lawsuits filed in Boston, Los Angeles and Pennsylvania.
Cosby in 1965 became the first black actor to land a leading role in a network drama, "I Spy," and he went on to earn three straight Emmys. Over the next three decades, the Philadelphia-born comic created TV's animated "Fat Albert" and the top-rated "Cosby Show," the 1980s sitcom celebrated as groundbreaking television for its depiction of a warm and loving family headed by two black professionals — one a lawyer, the other a doctor.
He was a fatherly figure off camera as well, serving as a public moralist and public scold, urging young people to pull up their saggy pants and start acting responsibly.
Constand, who worked for the women's basketball team at Temple, where Cosby was a trustee and proud alumnus, said she was assaulted after going to his home in January 2004 for some career advice.
Then-District Attorney Bruce Castor declined to charge Cosby, saying at the time that both the TV star and his accuser could be portrayed in "a less than flattering light." This year, Castor said the allegations in Constand's lawsuit were more serious than the account she gave police, and if that information had been known at the time, "we might have been able to make a case."
Castor tried to make a comeback as district attorney in the November election but lost to Ferman's top deputy.
After the criminal case went nowhere, Constand settled her lawsuit against Cosby in 2006 on confidential terms.
Her allegations and similar ones from other women in the years that followed did not receive wide attention but exploded into view in late 2014, first online, then in the wider media, after comedian Hannibal Buress mocked Cosby as a hypocrite and called him a rapist during a standup routine. That opened the floodgates on even more allegations.
Women mostly from the world of modeling, acting or other entertainment fields came forward and described being offered a drink by Cosby and waking up to find they had apparently been sexually assaulted. Cosby, through his representatives, accused some of the women of trying to extract money from him or get ahead in show business.
Earlier this year, The Associated Press persuaded a judge to unseal documents from the Constand lawsuit, and they showed the long-married Cosby acknowledging a string of affairs and sexual encounters.
Cosby testified that he obtained quaaludes in the 1970s to give to women he wanted to have sex with. He denied giving women drugs without their knowledge and said he had used the now-banned sedative "the same as a person would say, 'Have a drink.'"
In the deposition, Cosby said he put his hands down Constand's pants that night and fondled her, taking her silence as a green light. Constand maintains she was semi-conscious after he gave her pills he said would relax her.
"I don't hear her say anything. And I don't feel her say anything. And so I continue and I go into the area that is somewhere between permission and rejection. I am not stopped," Cosby testified.
He said Constand was not upset when she left that night. She went to police a year later.
Her lawyer has said Constand is gay and was dating a woman around the time she met Cosby in the early 2000s.
The AP generally does not identify people who say they have been sexually assaulted unless they agree to have their names published, as Constand has done.
Laurie Levenson, a criminal law professor at Loyola Law School in Los Angeles, said Cosby no longer enjoys the celebrity appeal that might sway a jury.
"His reputation has already been tarnished, so I doubt that jurors would be inclined to believe him just because of his prior image," she said in September. She said the judge in the case will have to decide whether to allow other accusers to testify or whether that would be too prejudicial.
