Summary: Baby It's Cold Outside
Comment: I had been looking for "Baby It's Cold Outside" by Ray Charles & Betty Carter together. I got more than I bargained for. I listened to the clips and wow, I had to buy the whole thing. Cost was not a factor. I had to have it and I got it. Great CD!
Customer Rating:
Summary: love it
Comment: I was named after the song "Diane" which was popular during WWII but can only remember it sung by my dad , who is no longer with us. We all know about Ruby and Georgia but Nancy with the laughing face is so good . The portion with Betty Carter is a hoot and fun listening to them together , especially "Baby it's cold outside ". I would not have known about this CD , had not my brother told me he heard it on serius radio and said he liked Ray's version of "Diane".

Summary: A Classic
Comment: This is one of the very finest collaborations ever recorded. Carter and Charles are at their peak here and the arrangements support their artistry magnificently. This is an absolute treasure--at least that part of the CD that has both of them singing. The Charles addendum of his own solo songs is mediocre at best.
Customer Rating:
Summary: it doesn't get any better than this !!
Comment: I am a big "Moonlighting" fan and searched for years, after the show went out of production, to find a copy of the recording played over the last three minutes of the "Blue Moon Detective Agency". Nothing pervious or since has captured the pathos of those moments; then end of a love affair and the hope that tomorrow, " We may be together again". Ray and Betty bring those feelings to life better than anyone who has ever recorded that musical prose. I play that song once or twice a week and never get tired of hearing it.

Editorial Reviews:

Ray Charles's decision to cut an album of duets with then-rising jazz singer Betty Carter defines the phrase "unerring instinct." Charles responds to Carter's gorgeous voice and compelling melodic changes with some of his softest singing; you might say that this already masterful conduit of emotion got in touch with his feminine side on this 1961 date. The opening and closing cuts of the girls'-names theme album Dedicated to You, another '61 LP that fills out this 78-minute disc, demonstrate Brother Ray's touch for transforming unlikely material into expressions of his own funky essence. His amused big-band celebrations of "Hardhearted Hannah" and "Sweet Georgia Brown" sit alongside sublime portraits of "Stella by Starlight" and "Ruby" on an underappreciated set that's a perfect match for the Charles-Carter sides. --Rickey Wright
