Talent, émotion, authenticité. So sophisticated and authentic at the same time. A woman of convictions. An unwanted child that made her dream come true... Proof that with love and passion anything is possible.
The best performers are unpredictable, dangerously so. They take risks. She did.
A small, tight, sparrow of a woman, with a husky voice curling around the syllables like Edith Piaf, and the heart of a lion. Eartha Kitt was born of rape, black, unwanted, female, in the South. Rose to international stardom, sang in 7 languages, and did not hesitate to tell the First Lady Bird her views on Vietnam. She supported LBGT too, when it took real courage. I admire you Eartha Kitt, more than any other!!
What a nice tribute!!! There is another live version of this song on the compilation CD "The nearness of you". Do you know if there is a studio version as well?

@Animalkisser I have a 1989 live recording on "a touch of french", may be the same one as "the nearness" but no known studio recording
