The Natalie Cole Collection is a compilation album from American singer Natalie Cole from her previous tenure with Capitol Records. The original album was released on January 20, 1982, just after she left the label, and featured ten songs spanning from Inseparable (1975) to I Love You So (1979). It was later re–released in August 1987 to coincide with the new–found success she had with Everlasting, and included five additional songs from her final two albums for Capitol (Don't Look Back and Happy Love) and her duet album with Peabo Bryson. It is her most popular compilation and is still in print.
