"Fats" must have been delighted when he welcomed Nell into his heavenly studio. Sad to know they are gone, but can you imagine what music must be shaking the rafters in heaven?
Nell Carter was phenomanally amazing...her showmanship was impeccable...and for her to be full figured, she sure was light and graceful on her feet...i was a fan of hers, indeed...may she rest in peace...
I said the exact same thing. Nell was so light on her feet and she didn't even seem to be out of breath at the end. Nor did she break a sweat. I really miss Nell and her unique sound. So anybody who claim that big folks can't move, I'd avise them to look at this clip.
This was an event called "That's Singing" held in NY in the early '80s where all the stars of various stars came back to sing what they sang in whatever Broadway show they did.
Thank You so much this is like an early Christmas present. I love Nell Carter and this song can't nobody sing it like her. She is my hero. God Bless You Nell honey I know you're up there with Mahalia Jackson singing your lungs out. Thanks for posting. What occasion was this for anyway?

She was supposed to be the original Effie in Dreamgirls. Would've loved to see this life force in that part.
