[JAZZ/R&B] Considering how she lives in the shadow of the "King," you can't blame Natalie Cole for fearing (like everyone else) that she's just reflecting some of pa's light, but 35 years of shine seems to say it's her own. One born-again fan mentioned how back in 1974 at a funk festival he hadn't been impressed but declares that he bought her recent Leavin' CD and plays it with pleasure. While singing with a band in college she earned a B.A. in child psychology but just three years later "Inseparable" debuted and her career as a physician was set aside for the glory of Grammys. Marriage and divorce colored by her drug and alcohol abuse, making her soulful comeback all the more beautiful. Searching the web for anything "Natalie" and I could find images of her kissing Mr. T but not a single complaint of her fame being undeserved. Altogether, she's worth seeing just to hear why everyone compares her to Aretha. Tickets: $85, $75, $65, $55. For info, call 242-SHOW. [KIRA SABINI]
