Betty was one the best female vocalist ever! Love her tone , her style, her passion, see was just an awesome representative of the jazz world! She is still missed to this day.

[@WPW3]

[@iluvmyboba]

Such a unique vocalist. Thank GOD there's only one Betty Carter. Can't wait to hear you in GOD's kingdom.

[@StantawnKendrick]

[@andrewzaltman6934]

❤most incredible scat singing of all time

[@thebreathalyzer]

impeccable. her scat singing is the best.

[@Avidcomp]

I had such a pleasure sitting down for two whole sets at Ronnie Scott's listening to Betty Carter in the mid 90s. It was the first time I'd ever heard her, and despite being new to Jazz, she became my favourite lady artist and remains so to this day. Also through her I became acquainted with so many more wonderful musicians.

[@Whos_That_Lady_Music_Show]

Simply amazing. The song and her band are TIGHT

[@stevenbrowne4066]

Wonderful performance. Watching for the first time in 2022.

[@BLUTOV]

I saw Betty give 2 scintillating sets back in December of 93 at the Catalina Bar & Grill in Hollywood, CA.....the first and only time I would see her perform, what a blessing.

[@dtlastraightahead2133]

Kevin Jones I was there, at the time no idea how rare that night would become

[@craigallyn]

Beautiful ❤️ Betty ❤️ One of the greatest vocalists of all time!!!

[@andrewzaltman6934]

❤ beautiful scat singing !!! There was nobody better than Betty Carter 😅 RIp Betty.

[@newsmanbluesman]

Best solo i have ever heard cut by Branford - nice tone/reverb from booth as often on Tonight Show dating to Carson days. Leno actually noticed - and my mind is blown - Betty doing her bandleading - the key to the whole deal! Betty has no horn and carries no chart. the act exists in her head and lungs when she walks on.As always she is evidence of US culture and kindness at its best. And a newsy interview guest too

[@patricklawrence2755]

for all of the greats i listeded to and loved growing up...i am so sorry i missed her career thru the 70s, 80s and 90s...she is a treasure

[@LittleMissSunshine721]

UGH, I CAN'T STAND IT, I LOVE HER SO MUCH! She's just so perfect.

[@frannyca]

[@jeffdawson2786]

The great thing about BC is that it doesn't matter what version of the song she sings, it's always golden.

[@Cyber_Diva]

Ingenious! Love and miss you Ms. Carter.💕

I miss her every day. ❤

[@simonefarber9105]

[@dale8692]

My favorite moment in the entire history of The Tonight Show occurs at 3:30: “I can’t believe I’m sitting here.”

[@1955drv]

[@sammyscellojourney3851]

holy shit! this is swinging!!!! Betty Carter, a jazz great! my favorite is Shirley Horn but this was dam hot!!!!

[@JazzVideoGuy]

Only one Betty Carter.

[@thebreathalyzer]

got that right!

[@LKaramazov]

She's geed.

[@WilliamBrownNYC]

Great to see her on TV. Great performance. She mentioned Roy Hargrove had also been on the show. Wish we'd see a lot more of a wide range of good music on these talk shows. Colbert started out having some and even Misty Copeland but don't think he's kept up with it.

[@Jazz313]

Detroit Greatest❤

[@selmergrunon]

no more jazz on TV

[@reneehurt387]

My second favorite Cosby show episode is when she tries to teach one of the daughters to sing. I always wished it was me. I would have done whatever she said you see why here

[@jbvtme]

kenny kirkland on piano?

[@ScottyWright]

Kenny Kirkland -p; Bob Hurst -b; Branford Marsalis -ts; Jeff Watts -drms, and the fiercely unique Betty Carter, performing her hit composition, "Tight"

[@MrJazzProf]

Music is phenomenal! Interview . . . painful!

[@wysiwyg2489]

"There is only one Jazz singer: Betty Carter" Carmen McRae.

[@thecurtishawkinsband4108]

[@proud01n]

Wow

[@CRtrain]

No sound

[@BroccoliBeefed]

And this people, is JAZZ singin'. Sing it girl. Love this kind of music. Too bad it's pushed in the shadows by the mediocrity of pop music today.

[@annabil2714]

[@andrewgillis8572]

Cain and Kraal and Eddie Jefferson organized be-bop vocals but nothing comes close to Betty right here
