LOS ANGELES (AP) - A funeral for Grammy Award-winning singer Natalie Cole will be held Monday in Los Angeles.

Cole will be buried next to her parents, sister and brother at Forest Lawn Memorial Park in Glendale.

She was known for such R&B hits as "This Will Be (An Everlasting Love)," "Inseparable," and "Our Love." In 1991, she intertwined her musical legacy with that of her father Nat King Cole to make his "Unforgettable" a Grammy-winning hit through technological wizardry.

She died on New Year's Eve at age 65 of pulmonary arterial hypertension, which led to heart failure.
