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

[HeartofaTree]

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



[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.

[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.

[TheBrooklynUSA]

RAY CHARLES & BETTY CARTER AND SAMMY DAVIS JR. AND CARMEN MCRAE'S VERSIONS ARE THE GREATEST I EVER HEARD.

[240soundwave]

i feel bad saying it, but its hard to look at the face and hear a voice that comes from that face. the face still has beauty, but not the kind that makes your balls tingle

[astrolatry]

@240soundwave and you should feel bad, because no one cares whether or not you find betty carter attractive and commenting on her physical appearance like it has anything to do with a stellar performance of this song shows both your ignorance and your privilege.

[240soundwave]

so sweet, god dam gives you the idea of such nice warm lovin

[AindaMais]

It just doesn't get any better than that.

[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.

[Andrexthor]

Youtuber LanaMcKissack did a cover that really kicks butt... but this is nice too.

[DBoYFreSh01]

This was great...My fav version of this son

[swanson6666]

There ain't enough o's in "cool".

If you don't like this, you better

call the man at the funeral home.

Time for egg nog and brandy. And a

dash of nutmeg. Cheers to you.

[javelinpix]

the thing that makes this so special is that he is the ultimate cad (even better than Loesser himself) and she's the perfect innocent. It's Little Red Riding Hood with booze, snow and sex.

[deltadude61]

Refreshing loving duel, their voice generates the define moment around the comfort fireplace with a warm taste of Drambuie homemade Christmas Toddy and Cindy!

[Jewfasa]

the best version is from elf. Its just perfect.

[cadleo]

My vote for the best also.

[70076NUD]

...except for the fact that this is a duet!!!

Look it up!

[cadleo]

huh?

[kiddo1134]

aw. this version is so soft and sentimental.

[sw65514]

this version is sexy

[CHAPINAnumero1]

i agree i think Ella fitzgerald and Loise armstrongs version is better

[TheBadBandana]

Give us a link? But I can't imagine a more seductive voice than Ray's.

[thingymobob]

Although i love this version - such a great combination of voices - I still say you can't beat the Loise Armstrong and Elle Fitzgerald version.

[homzd]

While this is a very good version my personal fav is Dean Martin's.

[msoyekan]

This is DEFINITELY the best version. Jessica and Nick's is the worst version.

[TheBrooklynUSA]

@msoyekan THANK YOU FOR THE WARNING ABOUT JESSICA AND NICK'S VERSION NOW I WON'T LISTEN TO IT.

[diexico]

THE BEST!! (HUMBLE OPINION)

[70076NUD]

I have to agree for the following: these two have clearly made this song their own. A undique and swingy version. Head an shoulders above just a rendition. Wow and unbeleivable arrangement I have to say. I have been singing this for 10 shows with my singing partner this season 2008 and have really gotten behind the interpretation. Ray and Betty make this seen so easy. Really goes beyond the usual offering, (ok I'll stop now)

[hbwdotcom]

my first time hearing it; after the original by bing and i agree... they really put a Nice spin on the song... sounds really nice.

[gympiggy77]

i love ray

[smallmaniac]

Favorite verson!

[steelegenna]

Can you upload Stella by starlight from this album. Thanks

[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")

[lamchopxl71]

i've been listening around and i think this is the best version so far

[sw33tch3rry81]

I dont really care much for the womans singing in this one. But ray is oustanding!!!!

[blackghost263]

This song depends a lot on the male singer. Compared to Ray, every other man I've heard on this song sounds like he's begging.

[youngboi64]

yea this is a good song

so many different versions

its great

[nickybadboy50]

many great versions of this song. this may be the best!

[wuhoolybuubel]

this duet is just one of the best i ever had the pleasure of listening to. their voices match up awesome nice its really beautiful and takes me in a good calm mood. 5 stars for entertaining me superb.

[Tadek59]

Wow great voice and great song and beautiful sound !

Brilliant !

5*****

Thanks for share AnneHeartMusic !

[jeffro1234567891]

Thanks for the share Anne. Lovely music.

Jeffro

[keep0ffgrass]

oh my gosh! you're so right about the miss piggy voice! but i'm sure nearly anyone would sound like that with such high notes!

[1newmajority]

maybe piggy copied betty?

[usertothemax]

i think this is a really good version..but i can't help but be reminded of miss piggy by betty's voice!! haha

[1newmajority]

ever thought that piggy copied betty?

[queenkyqtpie]

I love this version!

[BSiMn33]

I first heard this song about 20 years ago when i bought a Ray Charles greatest hits album, and I must say at that time I didn't know there was other versions out there! After hearing quite a few older and newer renditions, Betty and Ray still reign supreme on this song!

[insanechimpanzee]

it's more drawn out, sets the mood better

[Geralddejane]

Ray thanks for all the gifts you left.

[swanson6666]

I think Miss Carter's voice sounds

great in this song with Ray. It's

a good balance to Ray's rough sound

in this song. She sounds like a REAL

woman. Not some wanna be drama queen.

Think I'll have some egg nog with a

"dash" of E&J brandy. And sprinkle a

little nut meg on top, please.

And let me see if I can turn that song

up a bit. Baby, it's cold outside.

[imarblooper]

wow, this one is so much nice and slower than the jessica simpson one. love it! =D

[akhelgeson]

Ray is awesome... as always. But I'm not a huge fan of how Betty sings her part.

[freein2339]

No doubt this is the best version of this song...Every other version is too fast , too bouncy and too corny...Ray sounds like he might actually hit that , the other male singers sound like they have no "groove"...

[thelightningbolt]

best version? definetly

[SonnyJug11]

I love Ray!

[dthompson1313]

Love this version. I like them all but this is waaaaaaaaaay more sensual.

[Ilikepotatoes101]

i just love this song :DD

[DesertWolf87]

Baby it's bad out there, no cabs to be found out there.

I can mimick Dean Martin pretty good when singing this!

[Tbe2007]

wow... what a lovely voice she´s got! I like the LOUIS ARMSTRONG & VELMA MIDDLETON´s version also.

[kiwanukaz]

My favorite as well,

Listen to that fireplace rrroar, who doesn't try to sing that every time.

[viniltub]

excelent

[dannyz780]

ray charles died?

[horse4me63]

yeah:(

[kay6jay]

ray charles is freakin awesome! what happened to his bro is sad :(

[morganoliver10]

what happened to his brother?

[Haldrid]

ROAR!

[mylighthouse10]

LOL :DD

[cne08]

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

[inthebluescrossroad]

i need some help...i was listening to public radio one night and heard betty carter for the first time. i cant remember what the song was called but i believe it had the word door in the song title. if somone can help i would really appreciate it.

[moon1962]

inthebluescrossroad - there is an old song by betty called, " Open the door" was this the song you were referring to?

[solaidback21]

Two vocal masters, how lucky was I to live durning such brilliance inhabited earth...

[atrem0]

idk why but for some reason this song gives me a tear every time i listen to it

[brie5cheez5]

ahhh, so beautiful. it's such a sensual sounding version.

[renefulton]

i heard this song first on a different world when dwayne and whitley was singing to it.

[cnr200220062011]

that's the same thing i said as soon as it came on... :-)

[Slicksilver99]

Saw them in the 1960s at Rikers Island. Still a great duet!

Would someone be kind enough to upload Ray Charles Presents David "Fathead" Newman? Another classic!

[RasheemC]

Betty's vocals are amazing!

[benaggreyfynn]

Viva; Megga. Simply "CLASSIC".

Brings back cherrished memories.

Thanks for sharing.

[noahsdad61]

nice, but pearl bailey's version is my favorite--is there any video of it?

[vicgjg08]

I love this song ... Nobody does it like Ray does it.

[metabolife]

except will ferrel!

haha jk

[vicgjg08]

I stand corrected ..... except Mr Ferrell ...

[twilajohnson]

This version speaks to me on an emotional level. It's like listening to the private cooing between lovers. I love it and I'm so glad to find it here.

[CaroFranco08]

That's a really beautiull comment!!

[twilajohnson]

thank you

[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.

[rarmangui]

Baby it's Cold Outside ...Bravissima...Wonderful..the best version. Un acople de voces perfecto para una maravillosa canción: Thanks Ray, thanks Betty. God bless Ray

[agwata5]

ray is a baaaad mama jamma

[TaosSamoaBch]

the timing is perfect with both voice's synchronizing beautifully. What a classic, I.m getting chills inside, why go outside.

[odysseetheater]

[celkei]

[trixesatelier]

What a sexy sassy rendition ....the only one I'll listen from now on. I'll boycott all others from now on...time stands still. What a babe & a what a sexy sexy voice our Ray has!!!!!!!!!!!!

[jeffroiw]

This is the most incredible rendition. Even on a cold night... this song will keep you warm! So much personality and soul in this song... Gotta love these two together!

[Juwalee]

wanted to add how smooooth Ray is.

[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 Youtube to have it!Thank you.

Beautiful song.

[kiojin5]

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

[GrizzDaSigma]

[misscstarr1988]

This is a beautiful song. The voices that Ray Charles and Betty Carter have are phenomenal, a great pair! I love it! Simply a classic. By the way, I must stay warm, because "Baby, It's Cold Outside!"

[fischkopf]

this is a powerful song! great you and many others enjoy it. In the mean time, keep warm, because baby it's cold outside.

[SoulTooSoul]

Ray Charles&Betty Carter were the dynamic duo. They were pure dynamite. This recording is considered a classic. You can tell they were both singing in a very deliberate, mellow tone. I love this duet.

[shotbydriver]

Scarlettohara, you are absolutely right.

[scarlettohara77]

oh my gosh i love this much better than all the flirty ones.i love it

[novatokate]

Thank you so much. Sublime! A definitive version for sure. Have a great day. Love, NovatoKate

[DungForever]

My school's version was better, I did a better job singing it!

[Shannonista]

This is classic. You, in turn, are not.

[lindsaayyyy]

sorry kid.

[tuffshawty3]

BEAUTIFUL!!!!
