Betty was one the best female vocalist ever! Love her tone , her style, her passion, see was just an awesome representative of the jazz world! She is still missed to this day.

I miss her. KZread renders her timeless. She is a national treasure.

Such a unique vocalist. Thank GOD there's only one Betty Carter. Can't wait to hear you in GOD's kingdom.

man they are swigin so hard this makes me happy!

I had such a pleasure sitting down for two whole sets at Ronnie Scott's listening to Betty Carter in the mid 90s. It was the first time I'd ever heard her, and despite being new to Jazz, she became my favourite lady artist and remains so to this day. Also through her I became acquainted with so many more wonderful musicians.

impeccable. her scat singing is the best.

Miss Carter was a complete original. There aren't too many of those around anymore... Thanks for posting.:)

Pure genius....

❤most incredible scat singing of all time

UGH, I CAN'T STAND IT, I LOVE HER SO MUCH! She's just so perfect.

Now this is what you call talent!!!

Best solo i have ever heard cut by Branford - nice tone/reverb from booth as often on Tonight Show dating to Carson days. Leno actually noticed - and my mind is blown - Betty doing her bandleading - the key to the whole deal! Betty has no horn and carries no chart. the act exists in her head and lungs when she walks on.As always she is evidence of US culture and kindness at its best. And a newsy interview guest too

beety was an all-time great---saw her live many times---creative artist extrodanaire

The great thing about BC is that it doesn't matter what version of the song she sings, it's always golden.

I saw Betty give 2 scintillating sets back in December of 93 at the Catalina Bar & Grill in Hollywood, CA.....the first and only time I would see her perform, what a blessing.

Wonderful clip! Thank you for posting! My parents played her tons!

❤ beautiful scat singing !!! There was nobody better than Betty Carter 😅 RIp Betty.

Sophisticated and fun!

I miss her so much.

❤Brilliance at its best R.I.P. Betty❤❤❤

Thank you

BE BOP ....Betty.

Ingenious! Love and miss you Ms. Carter.💕

I still miss her. Heard her many times at the old Jazz Workshop in Boston.

holy shit! this is swinging!!!! Betty Carter, a jazz great! my favorite is Shirley Horn but this was dam hot!!!!

Perfection!

Jam mule thank for your statements I so agree

Great to see her on TV. Great performance. She mentioned Roy Hargrove had also been on the show. Wish we'd see a lot more of a wide range of good music on these talk shows. Colbert started out having some and even Misty Copeland but don't think he's kept up with it.

Unfortunately there are not too many more like her. R.I.P. Mother Carter

Only one Betty Carter.

Maravilhosa!!!

My favorite moment in the entire history of The Tonight Show occurs at 3:30: “I can’t believe I’m sitting here.”

My second favorite Cosby show episode is when she tries to teach one of the daughters to sing. I always wished it was me. I would have done whatever she said you see why here

"There is only one Jazz singer: Betty Carter" Carmen McRae.

Music is phenomenal! Interview . . . painful!
