Absolutely! A gift to the world.

Betty was a terrific musician first and foremost, and then a jazz singer. Which is what makes her the best jazz singer of all times.

Detroit Lady of Jazz thanks for your post

I was introduced to Betty Carter as an 11-year-old kid watching The Cosby Show. Thank you, Mr. Cosby, for the jazz, art, higher education, and cultural traditions you introduced to my life via your silly yet substantive show. I am forever grateful.

Everyone who knows me knows how I love betty. I'll never forget when my girl friend and I stood in the rain and watched Betty sing. With umbrellas up!!!

If I could add a million more thumbs up to this... I would. Thanks for this...

Wow! This is priceless, thank you! I saw Betty a lot in concert and I walk past that house once in a while. She was a genius, had a great sense of humor was very generous with youth. You could see so clearly at her Brooklyn Academy of Music concerts that she was serious about cultivating musicians who could hold their own. One of my fave small-venue concerts ever was Abbey Lincoln at S.O.B's. Two-thirds of the way through the set she said a good friend was in the house and asked her to come up and join her. It was Betty and they finished the show together. It was magic! I miss them both.

I had the privilege to see her live in a small jazz-place , she is One of a kind , wonderful film ! thank you

divina!!!

Beautiful Memories of the finest who lived on Felix street behind the B.A.M.!

Awwww Betty! You have touched our hearts ever so deeply.

I LOVE how she seems to understand the intonation of things...and because she IS a jazz musician, there are sounds heard here💗

This is a wonderful film! In addition to being one of the greatest artists of all times, Betty Carter was a great mentor & teacher to young musicians (such as Geri Allen). I am so glad I got to see this great woman perform twice at Howard University with Lionel Hampton and at Philly's African American Museum in the 80s. What I witnessed was indeed a blessing! I know she is still jamming in heaven!❤️🎵

Bravo Miss Betty Carter , I just love her style and spirit😃😃😃

I miss her so much!!!!!

Dear Betty, (same name as my mom) may your legacy live on to eternity.

"You start by starting"

I was lucky to met her ,a year beore she passed

Never another. I imagine u serenading about the heavens.

Baby oh baby, life dictates that you gotta be you own individual. If you are not your own individual someone else owns you.

AWESOME!!!!!!

Who are the accompanying musicians? Why aren't they mentioned? Betty is always great!

I wonder who wrote those standards?? Betty mentions it the laughs

Betty's "INTERPRETATION." There must be a better word. Please help.
