Watching Natalie Cole in a live performance is something else, says Star pop critic Peter Goddard

Original Toronto Star caption: Watching Natalie Cole in a live performance is something else, says Star pop critic Peter Goddard. On records she's a rather cool, poised performer. But in the Forum at Ontario Place last night she went through a series of emotional crests and troughs. She had two styles. One was gritty and full of bluesy fervor, the other more formal. The 18,000 people who turned up to hear her last night was a record for Forum so far this year.
