Career[]

Barney & Friends[]

After a producer from Cabbage Patch Kids moved to Texas to begin working on television in Dallas, Texas, the producer connected Natalie to the crew on Barney & Friends, which was filmed in the area. Thinking it would be a great opportunity to pen a two or three songs for the show on his resume, Natalie went on to pen over thirty songs for the show.^[3]

Personal Life[]

Barney[]

While sitting in music class at Western Connecticut State University at the age of sixty-eight, Natalie's professor asked each student to share an interesting fact about themselves. Natalie mentioned he wrote songs for Barney & Friends to a group of young adults. The professor then asked if Natalie could sing one of the songs he wrote, which he then sang "It's C-C Cold BRRRR!".^[3]
