Theme & Lyrics  

classic“This will be an everlasting love / This will be the one I’ve waited for / This will be the first time anyone has loved me, oh, oh, oh.” You CANNOT discuss the late, great 🎙 Natalie Cole without her ‘ace in the hole.’  Which of her many hits is that ‘ace in the hole?’ It’s a simple, no-brainer folks: 🎵 “This Will Be (An Everlasting Love).” Cole kills it on this bright, exuberant, jazzy, spirited, and instantly recognizable soul classic. The excerpted lyrics are ICONIC!

“Hugging and squeezing

And kissing and pleasing

Together forever through rain or whatever

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah you and me.”

Bitmoji Image“This Will Be” graces one of Cole’s most important, notable albums, 💿 Inseparable from 1975.  Somehow, “This Will Be” isn’t Cole’s highest-peaking single.  I’m calling BS! Regardless, “This Will Be” is by far the most decorated song of her illustrious career, peaking at no. 6 on the Billboard Hot 100.  Inseparable itself was a top 20 album. Cole landed a 🏆 Grammy for Best R&B Vocal Performance for this song, winning the Grammy for Best New Artist of the Year.
