I just wish you would have gotten more flowers while you were here on earth... you come across my mind alot ...I always smile ... what a beautiful lady who just wanted to be accepted it .. I understand ..so do I !
Dorothy Dandrdge, Lena Horne, and Eartha Kitt were the top black female performers of the 1950's. Hollywood roles were sparse for beautiful black actresses, but these performers acted out the lyrics as they sang bringing each song to life. Stage movements, facial expressions, and each word were n sync which made their performances very exciting to watch and listen.
Wow - have a look at what she achieved, as well as all the brilliant singing. A bit of a modern American hero waiting to be re-discovered? ...not allowed to link to her Wikipedia entry on the posting despite six attempts (scary) Does Joe McCarthy live on?
WOW!!!!! I was duuped along with the rest of you. See my post about a year ago. It took my older sister to bring to my attention that the drag queens are not of the original filming but digitally placed in. If any one can find Eartha's filming of this - please post.
It's quite obvious the drag queens are not part of the original video - they have been digitally edited in. You can clearly see that the quality and background is much clearer when the drag queens are on screen. Really stupid IMO - ruins her performance
I'm sorry, but when I saw Eartha Kitt I was like 'Yes! Lady Eloise' Then I saw the Drag Queens and thought to myself 'Who are these bitches?' Lol, nice effort, but Eartha needs no accompaniment.
We need to find the true meaning of Christmas, instead of making it all about buying material things. People are always forgetting that things do not permanently fulfill us, or change us for the better.

@babyEroose I agree. Duh she is black people an if you didnt know that, then ur stupid an you can say you know shit about her if you can't even tell the color of her skin an yes those drag queens don't deserve to be in this. The. Have no reason to
oh man people, Eartha Kitt is the original singer of this song, she is a woman, the backup singers are all drag queens, and no they are not in the original recording. They added themselves in, it is so obvious. I wasnt going to put a comment but from several ppl not knowing she's black to people not being able to tell drag queens from real women & ppl having no idea that they were clearly edited in the vid, it had to be said...HOW COULD YOU NOT KNOW EARTHA KITT WAS BLACK??? Major oversight.
The hell is with all the random political squabbling going on in the comments section? Seriously people chill out and bask in the awesomeness that is this song.
@DSCHflipper WOA WOA WOA U SERIOUS THAT WAS EARTHA KITT? DAAAAAAAAAAANG!!! oh another thing about holes thats funny? the dude who played zero is a rapper! who woulda thunk that lil kid would be a rapper.
hey! if i knew that that moneys in the Zoo were Homo Space Aliens...i would have brought a Radioactive Butt Plug..to help keep them out of Eartha Kitts Video.....always monkeying around with perfection.....just cause they got Dicks....And remember Chicks not Dicks
AND.....will someone tell these Homo Space Freaks in this video.....to make there own Video,........and Another thing..i didn't know that the Zoo was going to let the Gorillas out of the Zoo to wear Wigs.... and sing Sexy Christmas Songs? With Eartha Kitt?..WOW! WHO KNEW?
OMG, I can't believe that many people actually believe that the three other women are actually part of this video. It's called technology people. If you look at the video carefully, you can tell that the three drags are not even on the set. LOOK VERY CAREFULLY. The creator of this video is laughing like crazy at all of you all. lol
@dameagatha All three of the back-up singers are drag queens. Only Eartha could get away with that back in the 60's. Not sure of the exact date of this recording.
Eartha Kitt Rules! there is something awesome about being the original! All of the copy-cats are just that, copying a true legend. who the hell can't take a hit song and make it better??? if they had copied it and made it worse that would have been retarded, of course they copied it and added improvements all the many years later. The real credit always goes to the original inspiration, that will be copied many many times, none of the copies can even compare, and would not exsist without Eartha.
