|description=[[Natalie Cole]] and [[Nat King Cole]]'s "[[Unforgettable (Nat King Cole song)|Unforgettable]]" duet from ''Unforgettable… with Love''
|filetype=[[Ogg]]}}
'''''Unforgettable … with Love''''', also known as simply '''''Unforgettable''''', is the twelfth studio album by American singer [[Natalie Cole]]. Released on June 11, 1991, the album includes [[cover version|covers]] of [[pop standards|standards]] previously performed by her father, [[Nat King Cole]]. It was also her debut for [[Elektra Records]], after being given her release from EMI Records.

==Background==
The record was very successful in the pop, jazz, and R&B markets and was considered the major comeback recording that had been brewing since Cole's late 1980s releases. The album was certified 7× platinum as of 2009 by the [[Recording Industry Association of America|RIAA]]. The album won the [[Grammy Awards of 1992|1992 Grammy Award]]s for [[Grammy Award for Album of the Year|Album of the Year]] and [[Grammy Award for Best Engineered Album, Non-Classical|Best Engineered – Non-Classical]], while the track "[[Unforgettable (Nat King Cole song)|Unforgettable]]" (duet with her father [[Nat King Cole]]) won three additional Grammys: [[Grammy Award for Record of the Year|Record of the Year]], [[Grammy Award for Best Traditional Pop Vocal Album|Traditional Pop Vocal Performance]], and [[Grammy Award for Best Arrangement, Instrumental and Vocals|Arrangement Accompanying Vocals]]. The album also won [[Soul Train Music Award for Best R&B/Soul Album, Female]] the same year.

Two albums prior to this one (1987's ''[[Everlasting (Natalie Cole album)|Everlasting]]'' and 1989's ''[[Good to Be Back]]'') also moved to Elektra after Cole signed with the label. Her uncle [[Ike Cole]] plays piano on the album.

As of 2016 the album has sold 6.2 million copies in the United States according to Nielsen Music.<ref name="billboard">{{cite magazine|url=https://www.billboard.com/articles/news/6828863/natalie-cole-10-biggest-billboard-hits-charts-hot-100-billbaord-200|title=Natalie Cole's 10 Biggest Billboard Hits|magazine= Billboard |first=Gary|last=Trust|date= 1 January 2016|access-date=1 May 2018}}</ref>
