A PURRRRRRRFECT Eartha Kitt thread

[Sild]

I noticed that apart from the standard Santa Baby, the only other track I have from our dearly departed Eartha is My Discarded Men. This is a situation which I feel needs rectifying.

What are her CHOICE CUTS people?

Oh and:

 

[C’est la VoR]

I could not be wearier
Life could not be drearier
If I lived in SIBERIAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

 

[K@ne]

 

[loomer]

Give me give me CHA CHA HEELS



It says Divine was originally meant to do this and it's from a line in Female Trouble. Why OF COURSE

 

[C’est la VoR]

Her greatest hits is a fun little listen, if a little wearying all in one go. She really only did one thing well...

Did she do a whole album when she went all Gay Disco in the 80s? I only have Cha Cha Heels, Where Is My Man, I Love Men and This Is My Life from that period...

My other faves:

I Want To Be Evil (ESSENTIAL)
If I Love Ya Then I Need Ya Then I Want Ya Around
Somebody Bad Stole De Wedding Bell
Uska Dara

 

[Say Sheena-na-na]

"Cha Cha Heels" is, obviously, AMAZING

 

[Say Sheena-na-na]

I'm ALL DRESSED UP
And READY TO FALL IN LOVE

 

[Sild]

The purring on Where Is My Man and Cha Cha Heels is RIDICULOUS

I LOVE it

Old Fashioned Millionaire appeals to the 70 year old homosexual in me:



ALSO, this is grand and Eartha is the GREAT baddy:

I do love a bit of Eartha, my favourite being "Usku Dara". Oh, those Turks...

 

[Little My]

'Where is my man' is an essential Eartha Kitt download.

I've told my Mum to bequeath me her albums. Eartha Kitt and Dionne Warwick are amongst them. I'll forego the Winnifred Atwell 78's, there's only so many 'Let's Have Another Party' one can take.

I just stumbled across this archive BBC report from a period when dear Eartha was apparently residing in BATLEY of all places!



The bit where she's politely baffled by the concept of salt & vinegar is quite delightful.

That’s incredible!

I saw this the other day. What a woman.

I honestly have a new appreciation for her after watching that video.
