Ray Charles & Betty Carter - Baby it's Cold Outside

[@MichelleMR172]

this is definitely the best version of this song

[@acidsprinkels2]

This is by far my favorite. I love how slow they go. That's how it should be. ;)

[@JazzMaestra]

Ray Charles and Betty “Bebop” Carter, who met in early 1960, began touring together in 1960 and cut an album in 1961 when Carter was an up-and-coming vocalist. Gladys Hampton, the wife of legendary Jazz vibraphonist & bandleader Lionel Hampton, nicknamed Carter “Betty Bebop” for her remarkable abilities to literally sing Bebop and almost all forms of Jazz. This wonderful song is taken from one of the most creative and seamless record albums of the early 1960s, and a song to fit our current weather as of January 3, 2014!

[@jonathanhowell496]

The way their voices contrast, the delicate timbre of Betty suggesting fragility, timidity, ready to crumble into her gruff, passionate lover's hands I can'tt

[@BrendaLStovall]

The best version of this song.

[@emilygreene6556]

LOVE IT LOVE IT LOVE IT! This is my favorite "Christmas song." This is the ONLY version of this song.

[@TheBosslady48092]

The best version ever

[@JohnOBurke]

Ray Charles was a great all around performer, there's no doubt. But Betty Carter was among the 4 or 5 greatest jazz vocalists of the last 100 years. Anybody offended by this song -- and this version, in particular -- has his or her head wedged.

[@MoeJazzy]

A different world brought me here too, love that episode and love this song!!!

[@snowbaby1982]

Fell in love with this song when Dwayne and Whitley were singing it on a different world. Just plain love this song!

Every time I hear this rendition, I think of that scene in A Different World with Dwayne and Whitley. Splendid!

[@meeka2g5]

I just looked it up too because of A Different World. I like this. So smooth

[@ashantbabe]

That was by far my favorite episode. It was actually the first time I ever heard this song.

[@nickybadboy50]

[@pbandjgrl]

Hah, yes, Ray does sound like he just might hit that ... This has been my favorite version for years and years and you just succinctly verbalized why it's so good.

[@mellandy87]

Best version ever of this song. Its so calm and dramatic in some areas. I could sleep to this among other things lol love this song.

[@GailGinder]

[@SingstaMay]

This is my favorite version of this song. They make you believe what they're singing. They really feel it and in turn you do too.

[@HeartofaTree]

Ray always, but Betty? What a soft lovely voice!

[@williamnealy4918]

One wintry night in Oklahoma City (1961) when it was really cold outside, I was faced with the reality of having to go outside. I was in college nearby and had come up to Oklahoma City with a friend to check out after hours Jazz nightclub. I met this beautiful young lady, and the early morning ending with my going home with her. Needless to say, we had a great time, but my friend and I had to get back to school for 8:00 o’clock class. My friend picked me up, and first thing I heard on car radio was Ray Charles singing “Baby, it’s cold outside “. A morning and song I will never forget 🥴. Wow, what a Ray Charles signature song! ❤

[@Tadek59]

Wow great voice and great song and beautiful sound ! Brilliant ! 5***** Thanks for share AnneHeartMusic !

[@jrcadet4]

Gods bless my buddy Spider Robinson (The Other Genius) for turning me onto this classic. Just the antidote for too many Xmas carols on cold nights in December. A delight any other time, as well.

[@MsLady-ss7eb]

The very first time that I heard this song play, was on my favorite tv show A different World. It is one of my Christmas songs to play during the winter.

[@micahvictory]

JUST A BEAUTIFUL CLASSIC !!!!! MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!

[@lilycat9057]

Nothing better than this.

[@misscstarr1988]

This is the greatest recording of this of this song by any one by far

[@Juwalee]

I heard this song for the first time not too long ago as the kids were watching "Elf". Thought it was beautiful but didn't know the name, so today as I was listening to the Holiday music station on the tv it came on and provided me the name and artist. I didn't even listen to it fully in the living room. I ran in here and Yes! I could coun't on KZbin to have it!Thank you. Beautiful song.

[@Afrohemia]

Ray charles never needed his eyes to have vision. God bless his soul.

[@ready2step]

This is just the best song ever made. He is trying to accomplish the same goal as the artist of today yet listen to the class and elegance.

[@hadji65]

This is a cool version, Ray convinced me that he was in in love Betty. Zooey and Leon's version is cool too. (The sound track to "Elf")

[@walstib77]

Ray working it... Betty feigning... Nice orchestra work... So smooth--so sweet.

[@kiddo1134]

aw. this version is so soft and sentimental.

[@queenkyqtpie]

I love this version!

[@AindaMais]

It just doesn't get any better than that.

[@dangervich]

Richard Rogers knew immediately this was the work of Frank Loesser and as soon as it finished playing on the radio he called him. He told him it was the best song ever written. High praise from the author of so many great songs himself.

[@stephaniesumpter524]

I love this song she knows she needs to leave and all he says Look it's cold quit with excuses I love the back and forth romance love love it

[@lipstickgirl969]

I have never heard this version, Ray Charles sounds great

[@cne08]

Cool song. R.I.P. Ray Charles.

[@LelisDavi]

I think the best version is up to each one, each of us has a viewpoint. However, Ray Charles, in this music, was capable, like in so many others, to pass the feeling of being there, in a warm house with your love, while a wizzard clashes outside. The feeling of old school music.

[@BOMBSHELLLOLAPOP]

LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS!!!

[@leemichaels7628]

...Sitting below now, on my sailboat home... During a snowstorm...Could there possibly be a better song to play :)

[@marygooch3246]

[@melodysanger103]

REMEMBERING LILLIE MAE JONES "BETTY CARTER" (MAY 16, 1929 - SEPTEMBER 26, 1998) [05/16/2018]

[@verbaud]

Yes!

[@pittycross]

It's all that you say Jana4390, except for the weather. No snow here in Darwin, NT, Australia. Wet season now, rains a lot, usually about 29 or 30 celsius. Come May and its dry season, no rain for 6 months, temp 32 or 33 every day. Ahh, but Ray Charles, too good. Shame he's gone now.
