This is my first hearing of Betty Carter. Her voice is like silk and Mr. Charles voice is like satin. The chemistry between her and Mr. Charles if just magically woven into fine fabric!
Exactly! People who want to ban this song in the MeToo era,(and I totally agree with MeToo politics) need to have an understanding of cultural context and what a sexy flirty song this is! And, yes, they sang it best!
It really is. Ray Charles is masterful as ever, but Betty makes it for me. So outside of her typical style - she really personifies the innocent girl for this song. Just amazing.
On Wikipedia's article about the song, you can scan down the list that shows the many dozens of recorded versions. And over and over in you mind, you just keep thinking "that one doesn't need to exist...nope, that one neither...naw...naw..." I mean, James Taylor as "the wolf"? Anne Murray as "the mouse"? No thanks. You need some basic equipment to inhabit these roles--not only vocal chops, but some acting chops, some swagger (for the pursuer), and some serious flirtatiousness (for the pursued). Ray and Betty have the chemistry. A few other versions get honorable mention. Most miss the boat by 50 nautical miles.
Back in the 70s when I was a little tyke, I remember being in the back seat of my parent's car with my little brother listening to this song play on my dad's 8-track tape player on his car stereo during family trips to go visit my grandmother out of state. My dad would play mostly Ray Charles & Al Green music and my mom would play Aretha Franklin & The Staple Singers music. LOL. Hearing this Ray Charles song brings back all those memories lol.
Good afternoon! I do love this song really. He does an extreme effort to convince her to stay to spend her night with him. She looks like she is interested. But never it is clear if she have accept it. I like when Ray says :"Betty it is cold outside" in stead of :Baby it is...". But the sigh at the end makes us believe that she have made a deal with him.
I met Betty Carter in a restaurant in Manhattan many years ago (she was elderly at the time), and she asked me if I knew who she was. Of course I did! Rest in peace, Ms. Carter.❤
I Remember Driving In A Snow Storm One Xmas Weekend Back In 1998 With A Beautiful Lady And This Song Was On The Radio. Everytime I Hear This Song It Brings That Night Back To My Mine
I was just thinking the same thing as a matter of fact just got finished watching that scene but I love this song I love all songs that come from the past Ray Charles Billy Holiday Frankie lymon and the whole host of other Smokey Robinson Marvin Gaye but I love this song right here this is especially something special
Is this a Christmas song in the traditional sense or is it just a cold weather song that gets played mostly during Christmas time? Usually, in February, when the weather is the coldest, me and the wife like to cuddle in front of the fireplace with a bottle of wine or some hot apple cider and put this song on.
Anyone else get teary eyed from watching Whitley and Dwayne dance to this? I love those two.
I thought I was the only one who thought that.. They are really goals
I do it remind me of my youth we need shows like that again
I just watched that episode of a different world today!

I like so much. And he sings Betty in stead of baby.
I agree!
I've been hearing so many versions of this song on the radio but they'll never compare to Ray and Betty
This is my first hearing of Betty Carter. Her voice is like silk and Mr. Charles voice is like satin. The chemistry between her and Mr. Charles if just magically woven into fine fabric!
Soulful, intimate, sexy, and just overall beautiful...Kudos to Mr. Ray Charles and Betty Carter👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Right on!!

Listen with ear buds/headphones.. Ray Charles will be in the left ear, Betty Carter is in the right ear.. GREAT
The best recorded version of this song I know of.
The Best yet

One of the great duets in jazz recording!
Lydgia indeed

A Different World S6E8 😌😍💙
The genius of Ray Charles + the soul of Betty Carter. Unbeatable combination.
I owned this album in the early '60s --- BIG Ray Charles fan !! 😁

Me 2
Heard this on A Different World & Loved it!
Every song they do together is purely phenomenal
This is my favorite version
Dean Martin for me
@@claudiojkst same
Alright, this is a good one. Outclasses the vast majority. This song is more acting than singing, the playfulness is essential and they nailed it.
What voices!!!! Lovely rendition, I love it.
I bought this album, out of this world. Sultry, loaded and full of promise. Beautiful song. The best version I've ever heard of this song 👌

Pure harmony. They're swimming in the music... :)
A different world brought me here ❤️❤️❤️
Together,they are fantastic and alone each one is superb,and there should have been another great collaboration because this was outstanding
Carolyn I am totally in agreement. This is classic. Idiots have tooooo much time on their hands.
My favorite rendition!
This is my favorite version. Exquisite and I LOVE RAY, ALWAYS HAVE, ALWAYS WILL.
That was so beautiful.

I have heard many versions of this, this one is the best.
How could this song not to be played on the radio. I don't see how if offends the MeToo movement. It's sexy, and seductive to me.
I can from a different world 😭💖 D+W
A different world brought me here 🥰🥰
This is the best version ever!!! Reminds me of my HUNNIE and I
I met Betty Carter in a restaurant in Manhattan many years ago (she was elderly at the time), and she asked me if I knew who she was. Of course I did! Rest in peace, Ms. Carter.❤
I see a play in my mind listening to this song. 1950s black side of the big city in the dead of winter and the setup for bedroom action is in play.
What a sexy song. This is the ONLY version. And it is not a Christmas song.
I will say it again. Itsl like like listening to two lovers cooing
'specially if we're swirlin, baby;~)
@@DISGUYROX same
This is just a wonderful song, know one makes music like this anymore.
different world 😍😍😍
I don't care who sings it. I will always love this song. Perfect snuggle song for this winter.
One of my favorite versions. The freeze in Houston, MLK Day Jan 24 brought me here.
I love this version the best.....but I'm also wondering, based on the comments, have you all ONLY heard this song on A Different World?????
Kelli M. Yup me too lol
@@blackbutterfly233ify same
Definitely the only place I've heard it
The way he said "Listen to that fireplace RRRRROAR" she knew it was time to get the hell on up out of there.
Ray Charles, perfect as usual 👌🏾
It's a beautiful version of this Christmas classic, I love it!
I really like this song and the lyrics are perfect.

Everytime I Hear This Song It Brings That Night Back To My Mine
True African American Courtship
Thanks pleasure police. This song is not PC. Things like the civil rights movement matter, not some Christmas song. Brilliant version.
THE definitive version! Betty 'Bebop' Carter!
a great winter wonderland improvised song by two great artist.
Pure class. I have this album.
Different world brought me here, that show introduced me to alot of things,
How ANYONE could give this a thumbs down intrigues me. No taste. Oh well.
I was just thinking the same thing as a matter of fact just got finished watching that scene but I love this song I love all songs that come from the past Ray Charles Billy Holiday Frankie lymon and the whole host of other Smokey Robinson Marvin Gaye but I love this song right here this is especially something special
