Eartha Kitt was a different kind of cat. She demanded respect and admiration. She displayed elegance, extravagance, and hyper sexuality all at once. She is proof that classy doesn’t contradict sexy. She is a hero of mine. If I could meet anyone from any time, she would be my #1.

Spit Dragon Both are legends. Beyoncé is a celebrity to celebrities. She had legendary musicians like Prince, Mj, Whitney, Patti, Stevie wonder and others respect her. It takes a legend to know a legend. Several know and love her. You’re a nobody. I’d trust Prince’s opinion over yours.
Not this cut, however in about 1958 when I was 8, I saw her on the telly doing a similar cat related number where she sang and purred along with dance. Pardon my banality but it was right there that I realized what a sultry woman was and what that meant to a boy that would become a man. Not a sexual realization at that time (I was 8), but an awakening of the difference. I remembered her all this time.
If feline mannerism could be taken drag-racing, Eartha HANDILY proves here she'd SMOKE Julie Newmar any day of the week! As a person in general, too, Julie's all right--her sense of humor is renowned by all who have met and worked with her--but Ms. Kitt is likewise the salt of the Eartha. 😍
She sure was a different kind of cat. And I love love love her 😍 what an amazing & unique talent. Especially for back in the day...she broke the rules and didn't conform. 🙌
I am so so very excited to be seeing these ultra rare clips of the late n great Ms. Eartha Kitt. I was like only ten years old when I saw her sing on TV and I was just Mesmerized absolutely spellbound by her beauty and sex appeal. R I P Eartha Kitt may your soul be comforted by the knowledge that you and your music is still be loved and appreciated in 2017
Dude, she has been gone for 15 years . She's still a cutie, sex kitten to me . My grandmother is younger than her.🤷♂️ I think Eartha would purr into my ear today.
In 1957 I was 12 years old. Eartha was my 1st celebrity crush when I saw her on a TV show. I remember the" What's my line" show as a guest she could not speak as it would give her away. She would make one sound for yes and another for no. They did not figure her out. Watch it on UA-cam.
I always wondered why her name was mentioned so much in the 70s when I was a small child. I knew she was catwoman but i never saw her performances. I know now that many women have stole bits and pieces from her. Grace Jones. Patti labelle. Diana Ross. Just to name a few. I clearly see that she was a trailblazer who probably stole from Josephine Baker. The original black woman trailblazer. I love it when people who were mishandled as children utilize the time that they have left on earth constructively.
I just love Mizz Eartha Kitt, she is a phenomenal actress, and she did amazing in Batman and she was very seductive and boomerang and I really love her artistry in this video. 🔥💯💋😽
What a woman! This is from “Something Special: Eartha Kitt” (1967 TV special starring Eartha Kitt with Sergio Mendes & Brasil 66). I wish we could see the whole show. Any links?

She should have performed this song in Batman TV Show. I can just see Bruce Wayne shielding Bert Wards virgin eyes away from her as they watch her perform and the Penguin and Joker laughing away. If they ever release a compilation of all three shows she appeared in on Batman, they must include this number as a Bonus!
This was so awesome I have no words ❣❣ brown people are the arts, the rhythm of the world. *#SideNote* I love cats hence my name and my horoscope sign 💯♌♌
She wasn't beautiful but sexy she was. She oozes sexinesss I think she was sexier than most women at that time. Sexy and confident. Monroe compare to eartha seems like a girl next door LOL
ASTRO WORLD My God same, I'm sat here thinking she is absolutely exquisite. Her bone structure was exceptional. Beautiful eyes, cheekbones, skin and lips. She had a beautiful figure and exuded an elegant confidence and sexuality that was absolutely mesmerising. Soulful, intelligent, worldly, hard-working and super talented too. In my mind that's about as beautiful as a person could be. 😍
E Lo Marr I think she is exquisitely beautiful. Her bone structure is immaculate. Mesmerising eyes, beautiful skin, cheekbones sharp enough they could give you a paper cut, and full sensual lips. Her figure is to die for and she is totally magnetic. In my mind that is totally beautiful. Not to mention she is intelligent, accomplished, worldly and talented. I'm sat here wondering what your personal perception of beauty is. It's true what they say, "beauty is in the eye of the beholder".
@@IanBrownMakeUpArtist And if I may add to it, brother, she was GREAT with her fans! I wish I could have met Eartha. She had appeared here in Las Vegas shortly before she died. I would've DIED to meet her just to tell her she was my, um, well, O.K., third crush.

Perfectly beautiful, there will not be another Eartha Kitt no more
The presence! That distinctive voice. Beautiful and sexy. Working that mic too!
There will never be another Eartha Kitt 😢
Eartha Kitt was definitely a cat in a previous life
Purrfect
She is so petite and gorgeous
Oddly enough she is actually the average height of a modern American woman.

She exercised daily. She also trained under Katherine Dunham.
I’m pretty sure she had a lovely figure
hm... I think I need about a dozen chaise lounges and a glitter jumpsuit so I can do this everytime someone enters my apartment 🤔
Brilliant idea 😄
She just used ALMOST every couch available in the space for this performance.
watching in 2020 Extraordinary Sensuality, grace, elegance, and pure allure. Eartha is eternal. Love this incredible creature

1. Loving the performance. 2. if she had a modern mic, she would work herself so much better, not having to drag around and worry about that cord.
She is simply spellbinding (I was gong to say mesmerizing but someone already did)
This woman was everything!

She obviously came back as a cat somewhere in this world. You just have to look very closely and see for yourself.
2020😺💗💗💗
Both Eartha and Pearl Bailey are getting lost to history, and its a shame. Hopefully her daughter Kitt will get a biopic underway.
Wow, before this I never knew who Pearl Bailey was. Thanks for teaching me something new.
No biopics, just watch the videos
I want a movie about Pearl Bailey made so bad! Queen Latifah could play the hell out of that role!
Bet!
I saw Eartha on a Calvin Klein perfume ad the other day on the street. She should be better known but I wouldn't say history is forgetting her.
@@DIANAROSS4EVER History will never forget such an inspirational, beautiful, provocative, intelligent, sensual, and very soulful Woman!!!!
Dude, she has been gone for 15 years . She's still a cutie, sex kitten to me . My grandmother is younger than her.🤷♂️ I think Eartha would purr into my ear today.
Lmao same dude. Miss Kitt is the absolute sex kitten.

Eartha could reduce Sidney Poitier to Steve Urkel with a smile and a "hello."
The Original Queen of The Cougers , Reigning From Her Lare !!!.....Nobody Could Work It Like Eartha 👍!!!!!.....
Get It, Ms. Eartha.😏😄😊☺
Her ability to not get tangled in that mic wire is admirable
That was FABULOUS as only Eartha Kitt can be. Sensual forever! Your voice still lives
January 17, 1927 died: December 25th, 2008 rip Kitty 🐈⬛

Kitt left off where Josephine Baker left off. Both women were ahead of their time and people just didn't know how to classify them.
What a woman! This is from “Something Special: Eartha Kitt” (1967 TV special starring Eartha Kitt with Sergio Mendes & Brasil 66). I wish we could see the whole show. Any links?

I like the Cat on the Prowl music. It is Titillating .
I miss the Diane Carroll’s, Eartha Kitts, Elizabeth Taylor’s, sexy, classy, sophisticated. They don’t make them like this anymore
Praise be to Eatha Kitt..... Goddess of the Feline Persuasion.....
wow!, just WOW!
Yep. Different. She was very sexy though. Even into her 80’s.
She was amazing! Legend!
Mesmerizing
She's something else! Love her style ❣
I think this was a long time after she studied dance at the Katherine Dunham School on a scholarship, but she worked hard and it still shows.
I agree with Orson Welles
I loved her,she was fabulous💋❤Best ever Catwoman too...Meeeow
That cord was doing the most 😭😭 she worked that!
She could reduce Julio Iglesias to Jerry Lewis with a smile and a "hello." MEOW WOW!
Omg loved her , this should went platinum!
this is probably why she got the roll on Batman tv series as Catwoman
