A mere five stars is not enough

"A stupendous album from a stupendous talent! There is probably no better single-disk introduction to the musical phenomenon of Eartha Kitt than this one. Miss Kitt invented the term "sex kitten", and her own genre and legend. She has the skill and sophisticated humour to bring any song to life, even one's you've heard before. Her rich voice is as subtle as her wicked humour, and she sings each song differently dependant on the character of the song itself. A testament to her talent is that one of her first US hits was sung in Turkish with only witty remarks made in English (Uska Dara, track 18). This album is full of her classics which don't date, just get better with each playing. Her songs "Just an old fashioned girl", "The heel" and "Santa baby" will never be surpassed in lyrical sophistication."
As good or better than the original 45 record

"Eartha Kitt needs no recommendation. She was in a class of her own. The songs are the best of the 50's and 60's and her best.
The CD is perfect."
Full marks!

"This CD is absolutely perfect. Excellent voice, excellent recording, excellent equalization and excellent proportions of sound images make this CD an excellent buy. I didn't know too much about Eartha Kitt but now I have fallen in love with her sexy purr. All songs are highly entertaining and Eartha performed each one in perfect pitch with ease. I believe the producer and the recording engineers of this CD should be given the audiophile awards. This is definitely a must-buy!"
