The music world has lost another icon on Christmas Day. According to media reports, Andrew Freedman, a family friend, said Eartha Kitt, a sultry singer, dancer and actress who rose from South Carolina cotton fields to become an international symbol of elegance and sensuality, has succumbed to colon cancer. She was 81.Kitt, a self-proclaimed "sex kitten" famous for her catlike purr, was one of America's most versatile performers. She played the Catwoman in the 1960s television series "Batman." You will remember her as Lady Eloise from Eddie Murphy's movie "Boomerang." She won two Emmys and was nominated for a third. She also was nominated for two Tony Awards and a Grammy. She had a distinctive voice that can never be duplicated.
Rest in peace Eartha Kitt, you made your mark and lived a full and productive life. She is survived by her daughter Kitt and her two children. As you recall we lost James Brown on Christmas Day two years ago, though we still hear rumblings in the news over his estate, but nonetheless, he was a musical genius.
Here are two of Ms. Kitt's songs. Enjoy.....
