Although footage of Nat King Cole performing the song on television exists, his version of the song has never had an official music video until now.
French-American animator and illustrator Nevil Bernard, known for his animated videos for the Rolling Stones, Nina Simone, Eric Clapton & Jeff Beck, and others, was commissioned to make a video for the song. Rather than use the old TV footage of Nat King Cole performing, Bernard created an animated visual interpretation of the song that is inspired by ikebana, the Japanese art of flower arrangement. While Cole’s actual mage doesn’t appear in the clip, hand-drawn impressions of his silhouette are shown throughout the clip.
Natalie Cole Revives Her Father's Classic
This isn’t the first time that “Unforgettable” has enjoyed new life. Back in 1991, Nat King Cole’s daughter, Natalie Cole, recorded a virtual duet of the track with her late father. That recording served as the title track to Unforgettable with Love, a collection of songs made famous by Nat King Cole.
The album and new version of “Unforgettable” went on to win seven Grammy Awards, including record, album, and song the year, as well as best traditional performance, and producer of the year for David Foster, who worked on project with Tommy LiPuma, Cole and her husband, Andre Fischer.
The success of the project was a surprise to Natalie Cole. “You could say that,” she in an interview for The Billboard Book of Number One Albums. “I was stupefied.”
