Save a place for the rest of us lady.
May God rest your Soul.
Kinda like a modern day Billie Holiday.
I enjoyed both gals entertainment.
From one of her many quotes:
" I am learning all the time. The tombstone will be my diploma."
RIP Eartha..

I just hate the song “Santa Baby” along with the song “I saw Mommy kissing Santa Clause” and a few others.
Yeah, me too.
A genuine star. Not many real stars left.
-I’d Rather Go Blind-
Eartha Kitt w/ Dr. John

Another version of; I’d Rather Go Blind, by the Long John Baldry Band w/ Kathi McDonald. ;o)

I remember hearing Eartha berate Clinton over messing with Monica In “Eartha’s House”.
“...rape by a white plantation owner...” soumds more melodramatic than “a poor cotton farmer”
Very inspirational story.
Too bad. Prayers for her family.
Altho I liked Bernadette Peter’s version best.
That was back when Eddie Murphy was funny (Cue Murphy's "heh-heh-heh" laugh)...
You'll have to watch it and then compare to the real lyrics below:
Santa baby, slip a sable under the tree, for me
I've been an awful good girl
Santa baby, and hurry down the chimney tonight
I like Jimmy Boyd's follow-up, "I Saw Mommy Do the Mambo (With You Know Who)" (Columbia Records, 1954) and Eartha Kitt's "This Year's Santa Baby" (Victor Records, 1954), the sequel to her better-known bestseller from the previous year. However, neither record sold well.
The SAME Batman series.
She had another big one back in the 50s, “C’est si bon.” My old man had it on a 45 RPM and I remember listening to it when I was a kid.
That’s a song she recorded in the 1950’s.
A reader e-mails re the late Miss Eartha Kitt:I saw/met Miss Kitt at a public appearance/album signing at the Borders Book Store in Downtown Boston about a decade ago. Someone asked the former lefty/commie (the FBI had an extensive file on her in the 1960s) about current political events and she let go with a denunciation of Washington worthy of the most right-wing Republican! Honestly, she sounded like she was reading from a Newt Gingrich speech! She denounced the federal income tax and capital gains taxes. I loved it!
