  • 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!

  • his real voice - he was quite a talented vocal artist.

  • He was one of the first to die from aids ?

  • 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?
