In October 1974 two of her most popular songs came out, called “You’re Gonna Get Loved” and “See The Lady Cryin’”, followed by her last two notable songs “Cody” and “The End of Our Love Song” released in April 1975.

Love life and relationships

Gunilla met Allan Freeman, a businessman, while she was shooting for a TV series in 1967, and the two married after nearly three years of dating on 10 January 1970. Gunilla gave birth to their daughter Amber sometime in the ‘70s but the two later divorced due to what appears to be infidelity on Gunilla’s side.

Before meeting Allan, Gunilla had an extramarital affair for years with Nat ‘King’ Cole, a famous American singer and jazz pianist. At the time, Nat was married to Maria Cole, an American jazz singer, and they had a daughter together named Natalie. Gunilla fell in love with Nat and as an effort to destroy his marriage, she phoned Nat’s wife telling her how he was cheating on her and that she should divorce him.

Maria convinced him to stop seeing Gunilla, and Nat continued his career becoming one of the most famous and respected jazz singers and pianists in the world, however, he was diagnosed with lung cancer in 1964 as he was a heavy smoker, and was given only several months to live.

He decided not to listen to his doctors and continued working, releasing his final album in December 1964 just two months before he died on 15 February 1965.
