Mae West - Light My Fire

1972 on MGM Records. From the LP 'Great Balls Of Fire' the wonderful Mae West adds a new dimension to the classic song from The Doors. "Where's The Fire, Where's The Fire?, Umm In Your Eyes Big Boy, In Your Eyes". Sensational!

Thanks for posting this jewel. She was really extraordinary!

I was really expecting this to suck but kind of pleasantly surprised. It's different from the Doors, for sure, but if you don't mind a little camp, it's kind of fun. I like the sort of Marianne Faithfull-esque husky voice.

Her voice is so one-of-a-kind. lt has great timbre.

@Fanjayaforever Considering she was over 75 when she sang this, I call it a wonder!

What a woman!♥

@Fanjayaforever When you consider that she was in her 70s when she recorded it, it is even MORE amazing!

There will never be another Mae West.

She was definitely ahead of her time! Too bad she's not still with us physically, though I know her legacy of movies and wit will endure forever! As with all things "Mae", I really appreciate this video! Thanks!
