(August 15, 2017) In 2015, music fans around the world mourned the loss of Natalie Cole. Now, we are sad to report that Robert Yancy, the son of Natalie and her first husband, record producer Marvin Yancy, has died at age 39.
The young Mr. Yancy apparently died of a heart attack. Fans may remember that his father died of a heart attack at the tragically young age of 34 while still at the peak of his popularity as a songwriter and producer.
Robert Yancy was himself a musician, having worked with his mother and other soul music artists, including SWV. This is another awful blow for a family that has had more than its share of heartbreaks. Rest in peace, Mr. Yancy.
