Sixty five is young today, so it is sad. If it's true, it wasn't anywhere in the news.

OMG! So sad!!!

65 is not that old, either.

My mom was 65 when she died, and she also died of congestive heart failure, just like Natalie did.

I hope she did not suffer any pain. Prayers to her family and loved ones. She will on forever through her beautiful music.

Yes, 65 is young (I just turned 64 and my adopted grandson was writing in his diary that he hopes I stay alive a long time. Sheesh, kid, I'm in superb health!)

She unfortunately compromised her health by drug use, hence the Hep C and then the transplant does lower your resistance to things and provides complications. Like her dad (smoking was his vice) --health was compromised and didn't have to be. Very sad. She was a fabulous singer and really struggled to get her life back in order.

When I was really young in the Fifties, I loved music (as a young child) and Nat King Cole was my favorite. Like a lot of people, I bought that album of duets she produced with tracks mixed from her dad.

RIP.

I remember her and Greg Allman went public together about each having hep c a few years ago.

The noon news said she had a kidney transplant. I know Greg had a liver transplant.

I didn't hear that it was congestive heart.

I hadn't heard about her on the news. RIP I remember her singing with her father in the background. He was my favorite growing up..

I saw her in concert at our Opera House twice. She put on a fabulous concert. She sang "unforgettable" with her father singing with her on a big screen behind her.

65 is young - reminds you to take good care of the body you are given. Her mother, I believe her name was Maria, used to do a talk show in Los Angeles with Stan Bohrman, we watched it every day. Her mother was a lovely woman also and I just saw she only died in 2012 at age 89.

So sad. Wayne Rogers and now Natalie.

Natalie looked so much like her dad. She had his face. Loved the music!!

This is so very sad. She was a great singer and her Father was one of the very best and also died way too young.

Sad news... She was a talented singer, just like her father.

RIP Natalie.

Sad news. She was the same age as I am. Years ago, when we were both young, she and an uncle sang at a wedding I attended. Need I say, that was the best singing at any wedding I have ever attended. The grooms father was good friends with Nat and his brother.

I feel blessed to have seen her live in concert many years ago. I have seen so many entertainers from all genres that I can't even count them. Her performance and voice rated at the top with Whitney Houston. She really was phenomenal.

RIP Natalie.

I used to watch her father's 15 minute music show on TV in the 1950s. Yes, they gave him 15 whole minutes!! I have quite a few of his CDs, and I will always love his smooth, velvety voice. Like Tony Bennett and Johnny Mathis, no one else sounds like him.

RIP. Her famous duet with her Dad brings tears to my eyes.
