Details

Description

The song "Unforgettable" was originally titled "Uncomparable," but composer Irving Gordon changed it at the request of the music publishing company. Released in 1951, it became one of Gordon's most celebrated works.

In 1991, Elvis Presley’s musical director Joe Guercio proposed the idea of transforming Nat King Cole's 1951 recording into a duet with his daughter, Natalie Cole. The reimagined version achieved significant success, reaching No. 14 on the Billboard Hot 100 and No. 3 on the Billboard Adult Contemporary chart.

At the 1992 Grammy Awards, the song earned three major accolades: Song of the Year, Record of the Year, and Best Traditional Pop Vocal Performance.
