There are two categories of people on this planet, those who know Eartha Kitt, and they never forget her arresting style, and those who hear her for the first time and wonder who's arresting voice this is, that they will never forget. Nobody can duplicate or mimic Eartha.
@@madeleinebelle2105 I saw her in London too, at a nightclub off Piccadilly. She held a mostly male audience in the palm of her hand. What talent and class!
Oh my, she was so sultry and gorgeous. When David Bowie was on Storytellers (VH1), he spoke about his song "Thursday's Child." He said he remembered seeing Eartha Kitt in a drawing (I believe) and she was leaning against a tree. He talks about the lasting impression it made on him and he wrote Thursday's Child from that memory. He goes on to clarify the song is not actually about Eartha Kitt. Rather it was written from the feeling the drawing gave him. Missing my Starman...☆☆☆☆☆☆
Lyrics.. . 1. If you go away on this summer day Then you might as well take the sun away All the birds that flew in the summer sky when our love was new and our hearts were high When the day was long and the night was young And the moon stood still for the nightbird's song if you go away (x4) But if you stay I'll make you a day like no day has been or will be again we'll sail on the sun we'll ride on the rain we'll talk to the trees and worship the wind But if you go I'll understand Leave me just enough love to fill up my hand if you go away (x4) 2. If you go away as I know you will You must tell the world to stop turning till you return again if you ever do for what good is love without loving you can I tell you now as you turn to go I'll be dying slowly till the next hello if you go away (x4) But if you stay I'll make you a day like no day has been or will be again we'll sail on the sun we'll ride on the rain we'll talk to the trees and worship the wind But if you go, go, I won't cry though the good is gone from the word goodbye if you go away (x4) 3. If you go away as I know you must There'll be nothing left in this world to trust just an empty room full of empty space like the empty look I see on your face I'd have been the shadow of your shadow if I thought it might have kept me by your side If you go away (x3) please don't go away
OMG!Earha Kitt was one of the really great talents!There are many good singers with an excellent voice and good looks too!But Eartha didn't just have the gift of singing, you could clearly see that she really felt what she was singing and with great intensity!... and that is the essential difference between a good and a very good singer!
She was a goddess. Every song she tackled turned to velvet gold and gave itself to her voice and incredible talent. Had never heard this one before, thanks for putting it up.
@@troublesomemelissa yes, when I found her I binge watched her videos. She was very strong intelligent lady but you could tell she had a lot of pain from her life's experiences. Interesting lady.
One my all time favourite ballads brilliantly done here by Eartha . . Jacques Brel . Also sung so very beautifully by Greco , Juliet . Aznavour . Streisand did cover it number years ago . Dalida . Mouskouri .
Je suis... Dieu sur Terre. Hamdoullah, je n'y suis pas arrivé seul et n'arriverai pas seul. Il faut que je libére mon âme maintenant, prenez mon âme, vous n'aurez pas mon esprit. I'm ready to fight! Quitte moi mon âme, je n'ai plus besoin de Dieu, je suis... haujoud'hui plus vivant que jamais aucun vivant ne l'a été et ne le sera, ce que je détiens est la source de tout et bien plus encore, je vais la libérer et libérer les peuples de la Terre, elle est ce que je suis... Terre et Eau.
Je suis... tout l'univers et au delà. Ma puissance est entièrement reconstituée, vous m'avez tué et bien à mon tour de vivre, votre mort. Innocent de tout et coupable de vous avoir sauvés par milliers, vous m'avez peiné et çà non, vous aviez le choix et avez choisi la facilité, à moi de jouer, la balle (cette planète)est dans mon camp, la partie est finie, je vous avais prévenues et prévenus d'arrêter de m'envoyer des bonnes et surtout mauvaises raisons, le bon sens vous est étranger et bien moi, je vais vous traiter comme tel, vous n'avez absolument rien à faire dans mon monde êtres immondes.
If you go away on this summer day Then you might as well take the sun away And the birds that flew in a summer sky When our love was new and our hearts were high When the day was long and the night was young And the moon stood still for the night birds song If you go away, If you go away, If you go away But if you stay I'll buy you a day Like no day has been or will be again We'll sail on the sun, we'll ride on the rain We'll talk to the trees and worship the wind But if you go-o I'll understand Leave me just enough love to fill up my hand If you go away, If you go away, If you go away If you go away as I know you must There'll be nothin' left in the world to trust Just an empty room full of empty space Like the empty look I see on your face Can I tell you now as you turn to go I'll be dying slowly till your next hello If you go away, If you go away, If you go away But if you stay, I'll make you a night Like no night has been or will be again I'll sail on your smile, I'll ride on your touch I'll talk to your eyes that I-I love so much But if you go, I won't cry For the good's gone from goodbye If you go away, If you go away, If you go away
Didn't know she biracial, what a supernatural beauty and voice...a lot of speculation around how she ended up speaking and singing in her particular accent but regardless in the end it was purely her
