What are you talking about? Carol Channing is not Black.

Well, actually she is - 1/2 anyway - but that's another story altogether. Craig was doing Louis Armstrong's version of 'Hello, Dolly' while dressed as Carol Channing . Craig was able to accurately impersonate both female AND male celebrities to such a degree that it almost boggles the mind. Check out his Louis/Ella "duet" in part II.

Is this his real voice or is it a voice dub? Because either way it was SPECTACULAR!

Are you asking or stating?
If youre asking, not that it has any relation whatsoever to this clip, Craig passed away in 1990 from a stroke that was AIDS-related - clearly not one of the first as people from all walks of life were felled by AIDS long before this.
If youre stating - whats the point of doing so?
