Eartha Kitt passed away today.
Having seen her perform and even met Eartha several times, I can honestly and sadly say, there will never be another like her. One of the most gracious stars I've ever gotten the opportunity to meet. When she would perform at Seattle's Jazz Alley, she would always meet fans after the show in her dressing room. She would chat and sign autographs. The last time we went to see her, we were in the front row. Eartha spent much of the night flirting with Matt. She even looked at me, smiled and asked Matt who was this apple tart he had with him tonight. She was amazing.
I remember my grandparents loving this song, "An Old Fashioned Millionaire."
Her first hit was "Usku Dara", over half a century ago.
"Her big 80's GMD hit, "Where Is My Man?"
Ironically, having passed way on Christmas, the song many know her for is "Santa Baby".
This will be a blue Christmas without her. Rest in Peace Eartha. We loved you and will miss you.
