Eartha Kitt: Too close for comfort

Some singers has that special voice that once you hear it you can mistake it for some else's. An artist that has that quality is Eartha Kitt.

Eartha Kitt's pronunciation of her 'R':s in a purring way is something that makes her unique. It also made her a perfect (purrfect?) choice for the roll as Catwoman in the 1960s Batman tv series.

(Sidetrack: Did you know that jazz composer and arranger Neal Hefti who did a lot of work together with Count Basie in the 1950's also composed the Batman theme?)

Today I want to show you the jazz singer side of Eartha Kitt: Have a look at this collection of photos set to music: Eartha Kitt singing "Too close for comfort".
