- Natalie Cole's son says the first African-American to win a Grammy for "Best New Artist" deserved a better tribute. Robert Yancy says he's outraged his mom didn't get a star-studded tribute. "She has deserved so much more than that because she has done so much," he said. "It was really insulting," he added. Sisters Timolan and Casey Cole agreed. "Not even verbally mentioned. It was not something we felt was worthy of such an iconic star." #InsideEdition
Natalie won more grammy's then all of the ones who got a tribute put together. As a Grammy award artist alone she should have gotten a better tribute.
Agreed. I mean she even won an Album of the Year Grammy for gods sake.
The Grammy's are a joke, just like the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
$$$$$$
I agree with you,that's why I don't watch the Grammys anymore.
I heard that they were going to treat Natalie this way which is why I did not watch. I may never watch the Grammys again.
+DetroitLives313 Me either fuck them!
Hauser 1970 no
C'mon guys...racism is up these days...why the surprise ?
Natalie Cole ABSOLUTELY DESERVED a proper tribute. .... I'm so glad her son and her sisters spoke up, regarding that.
That's crazy 😕! She performed for decades, and was loved around the world.
So has David Bowie, that man was performing since the 60's
+hauser1970 She had more than that one song dummy! Maybe your ass is too young and dumb to know any. They play her song This Will Be in every movie and commercial!
+atlsong byrd that's still one song...
+Jinx the Shadow No that's just the only song I named! She had several number 1 songs on the billboard for 3 decades! Look it up and people need to research before they make comments!
Oh this is just so sad. My goodness! What does a beautiful, talented and international artist who won so many Grammys have to do to get a mention! Outrageous. Just scandalous.
Wrong. Flat Out Wrong. Not only was she a star singer in her own, but her father, Nat King Cole was too!That is two generations of music...great music! 😯 If anyone deserved a tribute that night it was her. Not even the BET Awards did her justice. Disrespectful. 😒
It is ridiculous to have snubbed her of all people. I mean, Natalie Cole had quite a few hits on her own (including This Will Be which is a legendary track), and she even won a coveted Album of the Year grammy among the other grammys she won.
Robert Adam Yancy.
Rest In Peace.
I wonder if the Grammy Directors/Committee are the same people who is in charge of the nominations for the Oscars Awards.. This ain't right! Natalie was legend and an icon.
Damn......that's an injustice right there.....but that's America.
Her Family is ....RIGHT !..........Disrespect !
Dearest Robert,
I am so sorry for the scandalous HORRIFIC treatment of Natalie by the Grammy's and also will NEVER watch them again! I lived five minutes away from Natalie's home in Hancock Park where we both went to 3rd Street School. I remember her singing every morning on the way to school, her knock out talent even at the age of seven. Those years with her father, Nat, Ella, Tony Bennett, among many others. We played baseball next door to you as my brother often intentionally hit the ball into your backyard for the thrill of retrieving it, but more, to see Nat's amused understanding. Far more moments I have and will always remember. To this day I listen to her singing, "If love ain't There...Better face the facts old buddy...", warms my heart when it needs a little warming. NATALIE WAS STARDUST!! Everlasting love to your family.
RIP to Robert Yancy, Ms. Cole’s son just passed away today.
He was high in the interview
How could they be so callous, she deserved so much more. I am glad I didn't watch. She was such a talent may she rest on the wings of the angels with that angelic voice.
What an insult! Natalie Cole of all entertainers deserve the upmost respect! No where but America! 👎
Total insult. Total shame on the Grammy. Rethink your position.
The family should put her Grammys in a box and ship them back. No respect deserves no respect. Rest in peace Natalie. You were an amazing talent
I agree with her family. I could have done without those Hollywood vampires!
Thin line between racism and jealousy
Unacceptable. I love Natalie Cole! She is in my heart forever!
She had 21 grammy nominations and 9 wins. David Bowie had 10 grammy nominations and 1 win. Lady Gaga did a 10 song tribute to David Bowie. Couldn't Lady Gaga do 5 songs so they could have done a tribute to Natalie.
Lady Gaga isn't Classy enough to do a tribute to Natalie Cole.
Definitely insulting, she had more history and made more of a legacy than all the other tributes, may they rest heavenly but the Grammys like all big machines will do this just like the heinekin beer commercial, lighter is better! All the light artist got tributes, the only one who's won Grammys in multiple categories and was the 1st black to win in one category, coupled with the shared Grammy win of Unforgettable with Nat the King! She deserved an incredible Grammy sendoff, BET could've did that, smh!
Tizzy, please research before you make totally ridiculous, and untrue Statements. Natalie had a 2 decade career long before Unforgettable !. 70's she had 7 consecutive Gold albums, 2 of them went Platinum. 8 consecutive top10singles, 5 went to #1, 2 went Gold. 80's amazing comeback 7 top 10 singles in 3 genres, 2 of those went #1. The FIRST Black artist to win Grammy Best New Artist. Star in Hollywood Walk of Fame ! Her own TV Special! There were just some of her Accomplishments long before Unforgellable.I could continue on but why don't you trying Reading and Discover the Achievements of tel Legendary Natalie Cole. And make sure you Research before you make further statements.Natalie had a career most Artist only dream about.
Sad! And RIP Robert too
I AGREE SHE DESERVED MUCH MORE FOR SOMEONE AS INCREDIBLE AS NATALIE COLE♡
Agreed.....with Natalie's family.
I am a huge David Bowie fan but I also thought Natalie was entitled to have a better tribute than what she was given on that night.............Someone that I used to know.........one of my all time favourites
I don't know if anyone will agreed, but I believe she a was never forgiven for the comments she made about Amy Winehouse...
I know I never forget them, she had the nerve especially with her past. I don't know what she was thinking.
I find this article tonight...in total shock...that I had no clue. And it really doesn't make a difference. I haven't watched The Grammys since like 1998. I don't give things of little to no relevance time in my life. Now, I will say I play a Natalie Cole song nearly every day in every one of my playlists. I get the anger and outrage. I do. But she will be long remembered til I have zero breath left vs. a show that I didn't even know was still on the air...
RIP Robert Yancy.
It’s a case of true artistry being sideswiped by pretentious and brain damaging artistry being more “relative”.
I Totally agree with you ! what the hell is goin on in this industry we call music.. the Grammys what a joke !! how could they leave NATALIE COLE out like that REALLY a ( 9 TIME GRAMMY AWARD WINNER !! and not TRIBUTE REALLY!! I will never watch that show again !!
And now the twin sisters have to bury their nephew. RIP Robert Yancy
I'm not surprised...We all know if it was a BET award(different) and not the Grammy's(difference) it would be all good
Haven't watched the Grammys in years
Natalie Cole was an Icon and if david bowie was alive he would be appalled.
RIP Natalie and her son Robert Jr
Very disgusting! Natalie did deserve better. Another mention, Maurice White of Earth Wind and Fire got nothing either.
There was little mention of Karen Carpenter when she sadly passed. John Denver (the host) stated “God Bless, Karen Carpenter!” during a tribute to Eubie Blake. Saddening.😞
Damn right!
Grammys was so wrong to even snub Natalie like that!!!
Young Cole didn't have to disparage David Bowie with a nose to nose Grammy count to make his point. Enough to say that Natalie should have been accorded more time. I agree strongly with that.
I'm 6 years late but did anyone ever stop to think what artists were capable of performing a Natalie Cole tribute? Natalie was a very vocally talented unique artist. I haven't heard many if any give her a public tribute.
The late Natalie Cole was an icon. Our country's treasure. Her voice was heavenly sent. The tribute given was sad. It put what little respect I had left for the Grammys to rest. I havent tuned in since after that snub!
They won't more publicity
I agree with him and they should still do a better tribute to her.
Typical and I can see why they killed him because he speaks up but I'm outraged that she didn't have a great performance or attribute
That's awful
She was literally the daughter of Nat King Cole! A sensation herself what a shame!
The Grammy were Always a joke when these new non singing female artists win Grammys and the Legends hasnt
I saw that an thought the same . I personally felt insulted even though I never meet her or her family but remembering her legacy ( father Nat King Cole) from when she first burst on to the scene....She has performend on the Grammys thru out many years....Better singer than David Bowie more Grammys than those groups acknowledged..... This is why the younger generation of color avoids this show an it's not as popular as it use to be.....
That's bull she should've gotten a tribute and I think that's sad. She deserved more than she got
It was disgusting. Natalie was Whitney calibre. Aretha category. What the f is wrong with this world.
Noted - The First AA to win and no big tribute and hundreds spend thousands to support the grammies🤔 Who's being used and who's benefiting from this? It's time to really wake up!
She was mentioned. Get over it!
....... And also, why isn't she in the rock n roll hall of Fame as well?
Yes but singer Natalie cole is more loved and more remembered in heart of people all over the world. She is not forgotten and we always hear her wonderful songs and her excellent and exciting music. She was so beautiful and had great taste in elegant and stylish clothes. She was very Classic woman. Natalie Cole is very much loved because of her great personality. She has such a big heart 💕 💫 😢 warm, loving Personality. We will always remember you Natalie. Rest in peace. 💕 Efrat. Israel
I agree with the family, she made grammy history and icon til her death!
Yes, she did💓💗💕💞💗❤💕💛
I totally agree with Natalie's family.
i stop watching that fake show yrs ago.. ya'll know they love taylor swift "no singing ass"
I Agree, Natalie!!
Ms Natalie Cole deserved way more more than that, that is just so disrespectful, grammys is just a so and so.
.
They don’t give a damn smh
Unfortunately that's Hollywood!
i didnt know Blues Boy King is white and the co founder of Earth Wind and fire was white so i guess it was a white show with white rapper Kendrick Lamar , David Bowie changed the face of pop culture natalie cole was only known for her duet with her father Unforgettable
+Tizzy T “mr movie” Movie reviews and discussions Your dumbass knows nothing about music obviously because she was doing hit songs before the duet with her father look it up This Will Be is in lots of movies and commercials!
I stopped watching after this!
Very insulting
You know why because her father broke down raceshal berries had a T.V. special of his own at a time where African Americans were not concitded eaqul in this country
God, see it, all
#grammysowhite
wow
1,000%
4 And wow
2
Dont worry she is at rest
I agree! Every time I hear the song Angel On My Shoulder it just reminds me of my life and to be grateful for the good things.
1st comment!
Job 9:24 King James Version (KJV)
24 The earth is given into the hand of the wicked: (Esau) he covereth the faces of the judges ( Black Ppl/Israelites) thereof; if not, where, and who is he?
The question is who runs the Grammys? Is it Black Folks (Real Israelites) or so-call white ppl (Esau/Red ppl)? If it's their's they have all rights to do what they want! Look Don't get me wrong, I Loved Natalie Cole but thinks it was our job to Celebrate Her Life in a Special way not them! They might make her and brake her but she belongs to us for she is "Us"! We all knew they never love her dad and sure not her. So why look for love from them for?
Proverbs 3:31 King James Version (KJV)
31 Envy thou not the oppressor, (So-call white ppl/Esau) and choose none of his ways.
She certainly did deserve a lot more perhaps a singing tribute by some of the other artists
