I'm a huge fan of her work. Obsessed maybe? Other than my workout/running music I only listen to her. I have a decent collection of her life's work but always looking for more that I don't yet have. Amazing woman. Her daughter Kitt Shapiro has a Facebook page, if you see my comment here, go 'like' her page. Love love love this woman. Really makes my heart sad that she is no longer with us.
It's Eartha's entire persona wrapped up in a single song - the world comes to HER ! ! ! Added to my 1952 playlist.
You better know your history, geography & politics for this one, but it's a great snapshot of 1952 current events!
My 111 playlists for every year since 1900 will let you step back in time to any year you choose. Sending this out to my 500 friends. Thank cdbpdx for this great song!

It's beautifully geopolitical! My folks had this LP and I always thought it was stunning.

I find the topical references in the lyrics to be especially interesting.

Old LP of "Leonard Sillman's New Faces of 1952" at a thrift store: 25 cents. Discovering this song for the first time today: priceless!

Wow to think that Eartha was 25 when she recorded this.
