Claressa Monteiro recounts her story of when she met Natalie Cole:

Claressa Monteiro: A few years ago I sang what I thought was just another gig. But at some point in strolled Natalie Cole. On my break she called me over to meet her band and I spent my entire break just talking to her. Before I left to start the next set she said two things I'll always remember first that she was going to stay for the next set because she was enjoying hearing me sing and then she said it gets hard sometimes but never stop because it also gets better. She meant the music business. It breaks my heart that she's gone. RIP Ms Cole. You touched so many.Claressa Monteiro / Facebook
