In part one of Mary Hart's interview with Natalie Cole, the R&B singer talked about her recent brush with death in a New York hospital. Now, the Grammy winner is talking about some close calls she's had in the past -- and the incredible turnout of friends who came to her side in her darkest hours.

"[There are] so many longtime friends that just say, 'We're pulling for you Nat; we love you and we're pulling for you,'" says Natalie, "And that just means so much to me."

Patti LaBelle, Quincy Jones, Dionne Warwick and Gayle King are just a few of the good friends rallying behind Natalie, who now has to endure dialysis three times a week after learning that her lungs had filled up with fluid and her kidneys were operating at less than 10 percent efficiency.

Natalie, whose new album Still Unforgettable is in stores now, says that this isn't the first time she's had a brush with death.

"During my heroin days I was over at some friend's house, and one of them was the drug dealer that got all my little Mexican brown heroin," says the now-sober Natalie of her troubled younger days. "At that point I had advanced to shooting it, and I O.D.'d in their bathroom. When I came to, they were shooting me up with salt and water -- so that was a close one."

"[I also did] other little stupid things," she continues. "Dropping pills and getting in the car and driving, you know, with booze in the car and taking a turn too fast -- [the] car flipped over, my little 280z -- and I crawled out of there without a scratch."

Despite all of these close calls, Natalie says, "I think that God is trying to show me something -- I'm not sure what it is just yet -- but I'm in for the long haul. I really am."
