[keymankeys1960]

man she is as cool as the breeze......usamud she sounds GREAT to me !!!!

[usamud]

Check out her nails. I used to get my nails done at the same place in San Francisco she did. The shop is gone now, I have moved to the burbs. She would crack everybody up. She no longer has her voice, but she is still an entertainer.

[CeciliaTorslow]

I LOVE HER!!!

[blu11777]

[DaelynProductions]

Little Miss Sugar Pie.... the woman that puts the "blue" into rhythm & blues! @joeluis98 - the song that she is performing in this video is called "I Want To Know". It was her first hit record, from 1960.

Whew! She is a mess......that IS a compliment! Gotta love her! How could one not after seeing this performance. I got to up my stage game up after seeing this! I had never seen footage of her in the 60s until today, and I am glad I stumbled upon this clip.

[joeluis98]

What is the name of the song she is singing here?

[Raspitun]

I'm ashamed to say I have never heard of her before, but i am proud to say that I have now.

[lorraineedmay]

[DrMotherfucker]

wow. I hope I can take a shit by myself when I'm that age, nevermind cutting like that! Get down lady!!!!

[JacKass00001]

Mrs. deSanto and Etta James sung in the same quire back at the early .50. Sugarpie sung like Etta, but nobody believed it to be possible to sing like she did . Etta sounds like she was a big, sturdy girl. Just look at this little nypmh, and in the old days she even sounds "BIGGER" than Etta..

SUGAR PIE still rocks!!!

[EricSean4967]

Excuse me, Ms Sugar Pie DeSanto IS DA Shit, Catch IT!

[Rthomassc]

I hope I can move so well when I hit 73

[clamarama]

She's NOT a MESS!

She's FIERCE!!!

[shelovesrb7777]

@clamarama I think OctoMania1928 possibly meant that in a good way. In the African-American community "you're a mess" can mean "you are something else" like that's "bad" means that's "good" & newstyle  she's "phat" doesn't mean "fat". Ya digg?

[OctoMania1928]

shes a mess

[Mongo76]

at 73 she is amazing! I think she is still doing her thing wonderfully.
