Although this person had been already dead for over 25 years, he shared the Grammy Award for best record in 1991. Who was he?

The legendary singer Nat King Cole, who passed away in 1965 at the age of 45, posthumously shared a Grammy Award for Record of the Year in 1991. This remarkable achievement was for a unique rendition of his classic song "Unforgettable." The original "Unforgettable" was recorded by Nat King Cole in 1951, with an arrangement by Nelson Riddle, and became one of his most popular hits.

Decades later, in 1991, his daughter, Natalie Cole, released her album "Unforgettable... with Love," which featured her covering many of her father's beloved songs. The album's title track, "Unforgettable," was ingeniously re-recorded as a "virtual duet" between Natalie and her late father. Producers meticulously took Nat King Cole's original 1951 vocal track and blended it with Natalie's newly recorded vocals, creating a seamless and deeply moving father-daughter collaboration.

This innovative duet resonated profoundly with audiences and critics alike, becoming a major commercial and critical success. The song won three Grammy Awards at the 34th Annual Grammy Awards in 1992: Record of the Year, Song of the Year (awarded to the songwriter, Irving Gordon), and Best Traditional Pop Vocal Performance. The technological marvel and heartfelt tribute allowed Nat King Cole to, in essence, share the stage and a Grammy with his daughter more than 25 years after his passing, creating an unforgettable moment in music history.
