With the assistance of Chuck Jackson and Marvin Yancy, a songwriting and producing duo, she recorded some songs in a studio in Chicago that was owned by Curtis Mayfield. Her demo tapes led to a contract with Capitol, resulting in the release of Cole’s debut album, Inseparable, which included songs that reminded listeners of Aretha Franklin.

Released in 1975, the album became an instant success thanks to “This Will Be”, which became a top ten hit and won her a Grammy Award for Best Female R&B Vocal Performance. A second single, “Inseparable”, also became a hit. Both songs reached number-one on the R&B chart.
