RIP Eartha Kitt


One of the great cabaret singers, but growing up, I knew her as...Catwoman!!

it sure seemed ironic that the lady who first sang, "Santa Baby" back in
53 would pass on Xmas Day.

I liked the other Cat Woman in the Adam West series better... and the one from the Batman movies even better. Neither compares to Mystique in the X-Men, though.

Ahdios Ertha. Thanks for the memories.
I remember her as "Catwoman" also and of course from "Santa Baby" which still gets a lot of airplay this time of year.

Ironically, I just picked up her "Collection" CD at the library the other day for my wife. "Santa Baby" is her favorite Xmas Song!
Sad news.

In Sept. of 2007 I was in N.Y. for a bday party at the Carlyle Hotel. I was fortunate to see E.K. perform that night. She, already aged 80, wore a high slit dress and put on quite a show. She tastefully played her "sex kitten" role while acknowledging her age at the same time.

I'm glad to have had the opportunity to have seen/heard her that night.
