Eartha Kitt is at home in cabaret, on the Broadway stage, and in film
and television. The versatile performer has done it all in her prolific
career, highlighted in this superb collection of studio-recordings from
Camden, entitled "My Heart Belongs to Daddy".
This collection is
highlighted by her legendary signature-standard "C'est Si Bon", which
she made famous in the Broadway show New Faces of 1952. Other highlights
in this must-own collection are "I Want to be Evil", "Just an
Old-Fashioned Girl", "Careless Love", "Lilac Wine", "Lullaby of
Birdland" and "Lazy Afternoon".
Ms Kitt has been seen most recently
as the Fairy Godmother in the national tour of Rodgers &
Hammersstein's Cinderella and before that in The Wild Party opposite
Toni Collette and Mandy Patinkin. A must-own recording for fans. web
