Christmas Day 2008 saw the passing of one of the true pioneers of Afro-American entertainment. Eartha Kitt was not only an international star but one that gave new meaning to the word versatile. She distinguished herself in film, theater, cabaret, music and on television. Miss Kitt is one of only a handful of performers to be nominated for a Tony (three times), the Grammy (twice), and Emmy Award (twice). This collection of her more popular songs show exactly how she had distinguished herself as a singer and entertainer.
