Nat King Cole recorded "Orange Colored Sky" on Capitol Records two days before Betty recorded hers for RCA Victor. However, the song was first given to Betty by songwriter Milton DeLugg, who appears briefly in her film "Let's Dance". Both Betty and Mr. Cole had Top 40 hits with this song.
My dad loved this version of orange coloured sky and would play it full volume much to my mum's disapproval. I love it and it always makes me remember my amazing dad.
Willie Stein was a friend. I was to young to know much about who he was. Later in his life he was down on his luck due to producing the first David Letterman daytime show. A few years later he called me up and said Jack I'm back. Natalie Cole used his song Orange Colored Sky on her album Unforgetable. Willie was a real gentleman I was so happy for him. God bless you old friend...
The Cole version will always be my favorite but there's something about Hutton's vocals here that tickle the ear and make one smile. Thanks for sharing. :)
I think the version of DeLugg's orchestra featuring Janet Brace was the first release of this song. But man, Betty sells it BETTER THAN ANYONE... even more than Nat King Cole. What a riot, as it should be...
The first time I heard this song, it was Betty Hutton singing it in a movie. Don't remember the movie, don't remember details but it was probably the early fifties.
At the time, DeLugg was also the musical director on NBC's first late-night variety/talk show (more variety than talk}, "BROADWAY OPEN HOUSE". Because of its constant exposure by DeLugg and his group on the program, this became one of the first hit records influenced by television.
I may of heard this song just once before, and I don't know where, when or by who. Anyway I like it, when I think of it, it's called,'LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT"! & has it happened to me? not quite. Love didn't hit me in the eye but I now what it feels like to be in love...all the other times I may of tpuched on love, would be just a case of puppy love. I like the song & the orange coloured sky must of been taken @ sunset, perhaps over English Bay in Vancouver....but it didn't or I'm the big O.
She certainly set the precedent for the element of surprise with this one. Teresa Brewer followed suit in 1956 with A Sweet Old Fashioned Girl, but even the infallible Tess had her work cut out for her in trying to top the great Professor Hutton with this one. Love it!
Actually, Betty COULD be subtle sometimes. She had too much mental turmoil to be able to do it all the time, though. That got channeled into her comedy.
Hey; whatever it takes to introduce classics to a new generation. Wayne's World made Bohemian Rhapsody a number 1 single AGAIN, and how many 20-somethings had ever heard "Hooked on a Feeling" or "Come and Get Your Love" before they saw Guardians of the Galaxy? There is a lot of music in Fallout that I am familiar with having grown up with my grandma's record collection, but there is also a LOT of stuff in there that I had never heard before playing those games. Anything that broadens one's horizons is a good thing.
I get lots of great song introductions from TV shows and teh google makes figuring out what the song was a snap with Morcheeba's Blood Like Lemonade my most recent 'discovery' thanks to Umbrella Academy.
i just realize this is a song about someone got hit by timber, falling cieling, and then she fell into a hole because the floor colapseXD that's darkXD at least kermit make it funnyXD
Gaga's version was amazing. It probably sounded badly recorded to you because it wasn't recorded in a studio and didn't have takes or editing processes because she sang it for her THANKSGIVING special.
The "awesome black guys" were the Stan Kenton orchestra -- awesome but not black ......... Nat didn't need them to be a better singer and musician than Betty.
I'm not partial to this version, but beyond that I find the instrumental midsection completely out of character with the voice. (It's very competent writing, but very modest in character, as opposed to the voice). I'm wondering if the arranger--at that point-- had any notion of how rough Hutton's version of this tune was going to be . . .
@MisterGagaEmilio Lady Gaga's version is crap and a big letdown after the Tony Bennett duet (not that I care for this one, either; this is very "over the top"). Gaga's version is especially badly recorded; no soundstage and over use of limiter-compressors.
I love how modern artists can’t cover this song properly but almost every single old artist that covers it sounds amazing
@@malk2good they cannot spell correctly and clearly now xdd
Lady Gaga's cover is fantastic, what are you on about
Nat King Cole did good, but it's not very modern
Almost like the microphones back then didn’t have microchips in them made my a $200 million machine

Yes, fantastic. Had not heard Hutton's version and from 1950!!!
A big thanks to the Fallout games for letting me discover Betty Hutton!
Ditto 🫠
Love this version ♥

Where has this song been all my life
I looked out of my window and the sky is actualy orange here because the sun is setting and this song came to mind :)
The Cole version will always be my favorite but there's something about Hutton's vocals here that tickle the ear and make one smile. Thanks for sharing. :)

Well said, I thought the same.
Happy birthday to Betty Hutton her Birth Card is Queen 👑 of Clubs Rest in Peace ☮️🕊️ Blessings and Hugs 💖🤗🙏🤗🙏🤗🙏🤗🙏🤗🙏🤗🙏🤗🙏
I've always enjoyed the fabulous Ms Hutton!
SHE IS UNFORGETABLE.....BEST OF THE BEST.......
i was looking up old songs

Goosebumps!
betty hutton is awesome! her music came out before my parents were born. probably in the years were my grand parents were born!
It was good when I was a kid, and it's just as good now. They never should have let Lady GaGa get her hands on it.
Don't be stupid. It's a standard. Gaga has a fantastic jazz voice.
She sounds so pissed
Nah. Watch some of her live performance videos. :D
B.T......That's what makes it so special !
She’s known for her energetic voice sadly that led to her losing her singing voice
Such energy hahaha
BOB HOPE called BETTY HUTTON a vitamin pill with legs. L.O.L.
I love that energy, I think this is better than nat cole king version.
Thank you random fallout new vegas music mod for introducing me to this
This is so great! Thanks for the upload, reminds me of listening to grandpa's records
Betty Hutton is the (Fallout) bomb!
Nuke
Wow. Sung with abandon. I like this.
I may of heard this song just once before, and I don't know where, when or by who. Anyway I like it, when I think of it, it's called,'LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT"! & has it happened to me? not quite.

damn gurl
Some songs seem like they were written just for Betty.
More subtle than Doris Day and Julie London put together.
subtle? your sarcasm is delicious! 🤣
Actually, Betty COULD be subtle sometimes. She had too much mental turmoil to be able to do it all the time, though. That got channeled into her comedy.
Betty Hutton was friends with the late and very great piano player Rudy de la Mor...
i wonder how many people know of this song because of the Fallout games XD

I know this song for a old Boomerang Ad
I get lots of great song introductions from TV shows and teh google makes figuring out what the song was a snap with Morcheeba's Blood Like Lemonade my most recent 'discovery' thanks to Umbrella Academy.
Can someone make an instrumental for this?PLEEEEZEE?!!!
❤
I T it!!, lol luv it
I really think this song requires Betty’s exuberant delivery to work. Anyone who sings it quietly and with restraint is just not doing it right.
AMAZİNGGGG
Worlds collide
LMAO xD
this is hilarious xD
i just realize this is a song about someone got hit by timber, falling cieling, and then she fell into a hole because the floor colapseXD that's darkXD at least kermit make it funnyXD
TIMBER!
Long before rock learned how to work a scream into a song . . .
in a sane world lady what's-her-name would not ever be mentioned on the same page with Betty Hutton-- I ain't gonna do it
comical, like it
lml
McElroy's Classix Radio
hilarious.
Where's the echo chamber?
Bjork vibes.
Gaga's version was amazing. It probably sounded badly recorded to you because it wasn't recorded in a studio and didn't have takes or editing processes because she sang it for her THANKSGIVING special.
I like this song but I agree with the Fallout team, Nat King Cole's version is better.
DHIMS
Nat King Cole!
Fallout
nope lady gaga cannot influence me on my old loving music .. my boyfriend brought me here :P
The "awesome black guys" were the Stan Kenton orchestra -- awesome but not black ......... Nat didn't need them to be a better singer and musician than Betty.
Nat King Cole's version is better
His version is tamer, and done in his soft, smooth style--but not better. "Better" is just a very subjective opinion. 8-15-17
Egbert Souce it's better
I'm not partial to this version, but beyond that I find the instrumental midsection completely out of character with the voice. (It's very competent writing, but very modest in character, as opposed to the voice). I'm wondering if the arranger--at that point-- had any notion of how rough Hutton's version of this tune was going to be . . .
gaga prawie jak ona... ale betty jest lepsza;))

Gaga's version is especially badly recorded; no soundstage and over use of limiter-compressors.
Danny Kaye version I think is the best.
like if gaga sent you here xxx
@MisterGagaEmilio Screw gaga
nat king cole did this a soooo much better, probably because he had awesome black guys do the FLASH BAM ALAKAZAM for him
