Cole Family Reacts to Grammy Snub

Some Grammy viewers are upset that Natalie Cole did not receive an individual tribute during last night’s broadcast.

Unlike music legends David Bowie, Maurice White of Earth, Wind & Fire, Glenn Frey of The Eagles, Cole’s contribution to music was noted in the Grammys in Memoriam segment rather than a single tribute to the late singer.

“We were hoping that there will be some sort of actual tribute to her fitting of her artistry and stature. She had 21 Grammy nominations and nine wins. She was such a force in the music industry and she transcended genres. I think she should be recognized for the impact she has had,” Timolin Cole, Natalie Cole’s sister said in an interview with Page Six.

“Why wouldn’t you have a medley of two or three songs? There are many hits that could be sung and great artists who could perform them.”
