  • Previously posted on this channel (at • NELL CARTER's extra AN... ) : Nell Carter as Miss Hannigan in the 1997 Broadway revival of "Annie" singing "You Make Me Happy," the extra song added for Carter in '97. Here she is in the same '97 revival, this time in Miss Hannigan's original numbers "Little Girls" and "Easy Street" (with Jim Ryan and Karen Byers-Blackwell).

    Nell Carter was an incredible talent. Reviews were tough on this production. All the bootlegs and clips I've seen suggest otherwise. Nell is a fabulous Hannigan with her larger than life voice and persona. It is a travesty that this production did not get a cast recording and that Nell never made any solo albums. She is greatly missed. And I LOVE the added "You Make Me Happy" number...it's a fun moment between Hannigan and Grace. They should make that song an optional add in like they do with that added Daddy Warbucks song. Who doesn't want MORE Hannigan! :-)

      She IS amazing and I always loved her. Even though she never recorded a solo album, at least she released 3 singles in the 1973-75 time period.

      Black people have been part of *Annie* at least since the 1982 movie when Geoffrey Holder played Punjab. Even before that, Grace Jones covered "Tomorrow" and turned it into a disco song. She even sang it in the same key as Aileen Quinn.

    I almost think her timing is better on the stage than on film. She is almost perfect. I have no skill in this area, but I have been a fan of Nell's for 35 years and I'm 42. But she is excellent on stage. I'm almost sad to have fallen in love with her work on gimme a break.😍 Love your work old friend.... Rest in peace

    I grew up in North Carolina and my mother wouldn't take me to New York to see the revival even though I'd been there twice before and she asked me if I wanted to go to a relative's funeral there a couple years earlier. Nell was supposed to perform in Yanceyville, NC in March 2003. That obviously never happened; she died when I was visiting my grandparents in southern California. The last time I visited them before that, Walter Matthau died. The next time I visited them that same year, John Ritter died.
