Ray Charles And Betty Carter, “Baby, It’s Cold Outside”
In 1944, Frank Loesser wrote “Baby, It’s Cold Outside” as a duet to sing with his wife. After performing it at a housewarming party, the couple became “instant parlor room stars” and began singing it at other entertainment industry parties, as recounted in the biography written by their daughter, Susan Loesser, A Most Remarkable Fella: Frank Loesser and the Guys and Dolls in His Life; A Portrait by His Daughter.
Loesser and his wife split up the song’s dialogue, playing the male “wolf” and female “mouse,” as the parts were dubbed in the original sheet music.
“Baby, It’s Cold Outside”
Mouse: I really can’t stay. Mouse: I simply must go! Mouse: I’ve got to get home.

I only have the Dinah Shore/Buddy Clark version on my iTunes, but I like a few of them.
