Another celebrity dies...

[fajrdrako]

Eartha Kitt died today.

I don't usually go for female singers, but she was a favourite. I just bought another of her CDs when I was in Stratford this summer.

Saw her once in concert - well, in cabaret - and she was wonderful. That was a long time ago.

Here's the song that made me a fan: Just An Old-Fashioned Girl. And my favourite song of all: Smoke Gets In Your Eyes.

And given what day today is, here is her classic Santa Baby.
