Mean to Me - Nell Carter

[@bvscfanatic]

Envy me, sweethearts. Envy me. I was living in New York City when "Ain't Misbehavin'" opened in 1978. I saw the show twice on Broadway with the original cast, which included Nell Carter, Amelia McQueen, Charlayne Woodard, Ken Page, Andre DeShields and Luther Henderson on piano. It was a life changing event for me. This song is, of course, from that show.

God Love Nell Carter. She one of my top 5 reasons for becoming and actor/singer. I have played out 6 copies of The Broadway Soundtrack of Ain't Misbehaving in my lfe time and workig on # 7. If her "Mean To Me " doesn't make you tear up.Hmmm. Try season one of Gimme Me A Break Ep. "Nell Goes Home" It will Break your Daddy down!!! She was just that Good.

Brilliant Jewel. Never forgotten the incredible Miss Nell Carter .❤❤❤❤

She has a strong voice. Ms. Carter is a good old Southern girl by way of Birmingham, AL. She will not be forgotten.

[@vinceinelkins]

this is a class act, thank you god for nell, i wish she was still around, amy winehouse and all the new soul singers have nothing on this

[@robertwhite1926]

I miss Nell Carter a very nice woman that can sing good for her soul as she does it for me and my soul too. She was good as an actor for Gimme a Break. I just bought the dvd series of her. She acted well on the Nell goes home and was singing my favorite thing “AMAZING GRACE”! RIP Nell Carter I love you so much!

Incomparable.

Raw Talent.

[@sassysizzle]

Does anyone know about the musical Nell Carter co-starred in the 70s titled "Cindy" and where to obtain a copy please contact me. Thank you. It was the only production of an all black casted Cinderella story shown once. I was 18 - now 52 and it was never re-broadcasted. It was a magnificent production with A 4 star ratings and a treasure. Like so many great made-for-tv movies they're in the backroom. Queen of the Stardust Ballroom was another gem and hard-to-fined. Thanks for helping.

[@MidnightSwinger]

Both of those have been on here for years. Also, this same performance the Nell clip is from has Dorothy Loudon performing her big number from Ballroom, the musical version of Stardust Ballroom
