Also loved her as Yzma in Emperor’s New Groove
“Santa Baby” is one of the only Christmas songs that I like but no one can sing it like Eartha Kitt. Her voice is so unique.

Hunty!!! Of course I know this!! Ms. Kitt stays in heavy rotation on my iPhone. You should check out “I want to be Evil”; it is one of her greater vocal performances.
