Nayo Jones performed at her concert in New Orleans on this past weekend
( January 24th) and paused from her original show she does a couple times a week to give one of the most sincerest, beautiful tributes to the late, great Natalie Cole. It was so perfect that it brought the house to its feet and had some of the crowd in tears. It’s been a few years now since we lost Ms. Cole back on December 31, 2015, and it’s still very difficult for many of us diehard Natalie Cole fans to digest the fact that the “This Will Be” Queen has made her grand exit from this earth. Natalie has given us so much emotionally through song, that it takes a special singer to be able to give back to her emotionally in the same manner that she gave to all of us while she was here. Nayo Jones is quick to say she is not trying to imitate Natalie, but only doing this show to say thanks for the memories. “I had the pleasure about 10 years ago to meet Natalie thanks to my father who’s God brother use to date Natalie sister Carol back in the 70’s and Natalie named her only son after him ” Said Nayo.
Well as you already know, Nayo can take us to church no matter where she’s performing, she did just that for her soul music colleague, Natalie Cole. Watch the video below of Nayo Jones singing “Unforgettable with her Dad Doc Jones ” and let’s all remember and pay homage to the legendary Ms. Cole.
Nayo performed to packed house that was not prepared for the amount of people who showed up to see her do her thing overall, it was such a beautiful moment to see this new comer pay homage to this legend. May Natalie Cole rest easy; she will most definitely be sorely missed.
