About The Record:

Thankful, by Natalie Cole, peaked at No. 5 on the Rhythm and Blues charts and No. 16 on Billboard 200; it was certified platinum. Two singles also charted: Our Love (No. 1 R&B, No. 10 Hot 100) and Annie Mae (No. 6 R&B). According to a review on allmusic.com "Thankful could be subtitled the finest hour for Natalie Cole and the songwriting/production duo of Chuck Jackson and Marvin Yancy. The album flows from track to track. It boasts the beautiful million-selling ballad Our Love, as well as radio-aired tracks: the rousing, gospel-ish Be Thankful, Just Can't Stay Away, the lushly orchestrated torch number Aint Nothing Stronger Than Love, and the smooth tropical-flavored La Costa. The driving, dramatic-themed Annie Mae became a steppers favorite."
