Smooth as silk. What an amazing singer!

She has always been amazing and should have been a super star; ahh but she was to those fortunate enough to experience her beautiful sound.

How does Betty or anyone get a laugh in the middle of a ballad like this.. anyone would love to get that contrast to the storytelling they're about to do - amazing, surely I have never heard this happen, let alone, twice

Betty Carter :)

Betty makes you a head, a freak, for her intoxication of the amigdulla, center of the brain - eg 7:05 to 7:21 - a 16 second held note. Good gosh amighty
