  • every time this woman sings, i cry, and not only tears of sorrow, but sometimes tears of joy, she wakes my soul up, and she will be dearly missed

  • Incomparable.

  • Just plain wonderful.

  • Does anyone know about the musical Nell Carter co-starred in the 70s titled "Cindy" and where to obtain a copy please contact me. Thank you. It was the only production of an all black casted Cinderella story shown once. I was 18 - now 52 and it was never re-broadcasted. It was a magnificent production with A 4 star ratings and a treasure. Like so many great made-for-tv movies they're in the backroom. Queen of the Stardust Ballroom was another gem and hard-to-fined. Thanks for helping.

  • She has Billie Holiday's sense of phrasing and feeling and a tone and saltiness reminiscent of Dinah Washington...is there any BETTER possible combination!?

  • Still my favorite version of this song! Nell Carter really pulled out all the stops on this one.

  • Brilliant. A great, great star. THIS is art folks...

  • Envy me, sweethearts. Envy me. I was living in New York City when "Ain't Misbehavin'" opened in 1978. I saw the show twice on Broadway with the original cast, which included Nell Carter, Amelia McQueen, Charlayne Woodard, Ken Page, Andre DeShields and Luther Henderson on piano. It was a life changing event for me. This song is, of course, from that show.

  • Heartbreakingly beautiful

  • I will miss her for the rest of my life.

  • What a Goddess.... no other words fit!
