Baby It's Cold Outside - Kali and Dr. K (Frank Loesser cover)

I truly enjoyed singing with my talented daughter Kali a few days before Christmas, 2010. Happy Holidays and a blessed New Year.

Although it made its public debut in the 1948 film "Neptune's Daughter", the song "Baby, It's Cold Outside" had actually been written four years earlier. Susan Loesser, in her 1993 memoir, "A Most Remarkable Fella: Frank Loesser and the Guys and Dolls in His Life: A Portrait by His Daughter", explains that, upon moving to the Navarro Hotel in New York, Frank and Lynn Loesser decided to give themselves a housewarming party. Frank, a stage and screen composer, was no stranger to throwing parties, which typically included Hollywood personalities, each of whom was expected to perform some skit or musical number. The entire evening would be scripted, the order of the performances being known in advance. Frank and his wife Lynn would typically sing a duet.

It was at this party in 1944 that Frank and Lynn debuted what would eventually be one of Frank's best known songs: "Baby, It's Cold Outside", with Frank at the piano. Lynn Loesser would later recall for her daughter, "Well, the room just fell apart... I don't think either of us realized the impact of what we'd sung. We had to do it over and over again and we became instant parlor room stars. We got invited to all the best parties for years on the basis of "Baby." It was our ticket
to caviar and truffles. Parties were built around our being the closing act."
