Eartha Kitt - Bad But Beautiful '1962/2021

Tracks list

Eartha Kitt epitomized the idea of the sex-kitten chanteuse, rising to fame with
a nightclub act centered on her slinky stage presence and her throaty purr of a
voice. As much as she enjoyed vamping it up, she also projected the image of an
exotic international sophisticate, especially since she sang in several
different languages. She brought a definite zest to her torch songs, and favored
lyrics that painted her as the Material Girl of her time. Kitts persona was so
vivid and well-developed that she remained easily identifiable well after her
early-50s heyday, and it also helped her find success as an actress in movies,
TV, and theater. Even if many remember her best as one of the actresses to play
Catwoman on the 60s Batman series, Kitt was always a cabaret performer at heart,
one whose act translated best in a live setting. She rose dramatically to fame
from a childhood of neglect and poverty, moving from South Carolina to Harlem at
age eight to live with an aunt. She toured internationally during her late teens
as part of a dance company, and also developed a singing act. Signing with RCA,
she scored numerous hits over between 1953 and 1955, including Cest Si Bon, I
Want to Be Evil, and Santa Baby, among others; she later branched out into an
acting career. Following her sharp criticism of the Vietnam War in 1968, Kitt
endured a ten-year blacklisting in America and moved to Europe to make her
living. She returned to the U.S. in the 80s and 90s, both as an actress and as a
singer on the nightclub circuit. In 2000, she received her third Tony nomination
for her work in the musical drama The Wild Party. Kitt continued performing and
recording into the 2000s, but was diagnosed with colon cancer in 2006, and
passed away from the disease in late 2008.
