I had the pleasure of seeing "La Kitt" at the intimate Blues Alley jazz club in Washington, DC in the late 1990's. I expected to enjoy the show because she was Eartha Kitt - a legend, entertainer extraordinaire, 'C'est Si Bon,' "purrrrrrrr...," etc. She gave you that part of her, yes. Fun! What took me by surprise was the Eartha seen here, sensitively and knowingly inhabiting the song. She positively captivated the audience. Glad that I also had the opportunity to tell her so privately backstage. A gracious lady and a pioneering entertainer of immense talent.
You're so right about that guy! He makes Robert Goulet look enlightened, and Goulet is the guy that Elvis used to shoot at when his image came on the television!

Mannnnn... what a Legend. Could listen to this champion of song all day. THIS.... was an Entertainer... A STAR.
I was lucky enough to see her at the Cafe Carlyle in the 90's. She was amazing in that intimate setting.

That's what you call interpreting a song!

It is obvious she didnt learn the second song. Sprechstimme for this song is kinda weak, even though i know she was legendary.
What the hell is wrong with that guy? It's creepy the way it looks at Eartha. Of course, her singing is pretty creepy, too.

I think that is Randy Carmichael, Hoagy's son. It does look strange but I don't suppose anything was meant by it.
