Eartha Kitt. What can you say about her? Exotic? Sensual? Deceased?

Yep, all those things. She left behind a legacy of highly unusual work; unusual and varied in scope and seriousness. How many performers can you think of that were big cabaret performers in Paris, and were also in an Ernest movie?

Naturally, her music runs that kind of wide sweep. I’m especially partial to this song, in which she extols the virtues of potentially misbehaving. Ladies and Gentlemen, Miss Eartha Kitt singing I Want to be Evil.
