Cole, who had an estimated net worth of $5million, started her music career at the age of six - before dropping her debut album Inseparable in 1975, which contained two chart-topping singles, 'This Will Be (An Everlasting Love)' and 'Inseparable', and won her the Grammy Award for Best New Artist.
Her career was somewhat derailed in the 1980s when she faced a battle with drug addiction, however stormed back to the top with Unforgettable With Love in the 90s.
Now however, TMZ reports that Cole's cause of death this week was congestive heart failure as well as underlying medical issues including complications from a kidney transplant and Hepatitis C.
