Eartha Kitt Alone Live At The Cheltenham Jazz Festival April 2008

8 months before she left us....

[@kiconcoscoviemucyo7790]

At eighty and her voice was still this strong.... She was God's masterpiece

[@ulrichgerhardosterloh6069]

she met Albert Einstein when he was 75 and she 26. She had donated $10,000 to an orphanage in New York City, and was asked if they could grant her a wish in return, and she said that her greatest wish was to meet Einstein.

[@jgerard56]

Eartha Kitt felt like a friend. I was so sad when she died. Her music gave me such comfort in the worst of times. She truly appreciated her fans and they knew it. I had the pleasure of seeing her perform about six times in intimate settings between 1997-2005. The last time she waved at me from the stage and even once replied to an email. It's hard to believe that she's no longer here. Thanks for posting.

Jim Gerard A wonderful and inspiring woman. Jxxx

[@paulanthonyhoeflich8988]

[@nelsondreyes]

She was brilliant... saw her live once in Dublin and she was terrific consumate professional with great integrity... she is greatly missed

[@unraided]

The first time i heard Eartha was when i watched The Emperors New Groove! I absolutely loved her voice! Sadly, she had already passd away by the time i researched her. Never the less, i still think she is incredible and i wish she were still alive, i would have loved to see her in person!

[@呀你可]

Same would love to see her in person

[@TheDidymusBrush]

That breath before the last note... gawd it gets me every time.

[@Whaleshark69]

I've even seen Eartha live in Berlin in the lateEighties. She was so incredibly good - I admired her before, but then I fellt in love. Never again have I seen such a good show. She was divine! I miss her so much.

[@toutouzim007]

Brilliant at any age, beautiful at any age…❤️❤️

[@wongfrancis]

Such a very moving performance from the grand Diva herself! She's telling us her life's stories, all laid bare....it made me cry. She will always be remembered by us as one of the many super stars up there.

[@ralphnbg]

[@jers981221]

I met her backstage when she performed in Seattle and it was such a memorable moment.Also ,she was very gracious to the people who wanted to meet her.even though it was already past midnight and still scheduled to perform the next day. And this was such a beautiful song -that pinches your heart and makes you sob. RIP Ms Kitt.

[@jermecialindsey796]

People like her reinforce my belief that there are souls within us. There will never be another like hers.

[@ralphnbg]

[@pauldavies6037]

Wow what a moving piece by Eartha a true legend God bless her

[@MrMd217]

[@Animalkisser]

What a great performer, a true ARTIST!!!!!!!!!!!

[@reynamonroe12]

R.I.P. MISS EARTHA, YOU ARE SO TRULY MISSED... REYNAMONROE

[@jgerard56]

My impression is that she wrote this song for this show. She mentions that she wrote this as a poem and you can see the que cards in the background with the words. The CD credits her for the song.

[@01zegar]

o my God I loved her and still love

[@AAwildeone]

Utterly amazing!!! The ETERNAL EARTHA

[@pableholloway8202]

Absolutely captivating!

[@johnrosenbaum8730]

[@upendasana7857]

What an incredible human being,I had no idea she had been through such a tough childhood,How she survived and then went on to do what she did is ust beyong amaing

[@1927Norma]

Thanks for the information and also for uploading this video. Never saw this one before and it shows her still great voice and a certain sadness in the performance, the mark of a true artist. TY.

[@alec716]

Thank you so much for posting this! I have the CD but cannot find a copy of the DVD that is formatted to work in the U.S. I was privileged to speak with Eartha a number of times, and I was amazed by her warmth and appreciation for her audience. What a poignant song, as this is how she really felt in life -- alone.

[@shemanic1]

WOW! My Dad's fave singer & now mine.

[@stephenmc123456]

This is a masterpiece

[@kdickson20001]

Hallo Ralph! Vielen Dank für Deinen Kommentar. Eartha und mich hat eine tiefe und langjährige Freundschaft verbunden und ich vermisse sie jeden Tag, aber ich habe sie im Herzen und immer bei mir. Olaf

[@drsteveto]

Amazing. What is the piano players name? He is excellent and they seem to have an excellent relationship. I'd like to follow his career.

[@jgerard56]

If you Google it, many vendors carry it.

[@smithfield06]

I think this was her swansong, 81 and terminally ill and she put on a show like this 🎉💪👏

[@paulsimpson1697]

Died Xmas day 2008 !

[@divaslive6953]

Did Oprah Winfrey interviewed or invited her to her show or even includes her to the lists of her "LEGENDS BALL" 😳❓

[@Reggieheadenmusic]

There use to be a video from this same performance of her singing "Here's to life" do you have it as well?

[@olafwackwitz]

I have, it`s in the end of the same show. I can post it.

[@Badie20]

Olaf Wackwitz POST IT!!! or you can post the whole show anyone is fine with me lol.

[@s121jean]

Life is NOT about the money.

[@govecomm]

Can someone please tell me were I can buy this dvd? thanks

[@Animalkisser]

Is there a version of this song recorded in a studio?

[@yogui51]

please i don't understand the lyrics and i need it. She took my heart.

[@olafwackwitz]

Alone Sometimes it seems that life`s unfair The journey leads nowhere Its roads of miles apart I follow the path within my heart All that I wanted more or less Was a key to happiness And now I plainly see The key to happiness is me When times were dark And days were grey And dreams were lost I found my way Through all I`ve seen And all I`ve known I`m still standing here alone I`ve been through clouds and stormy skies And different worlds all filled with lies I`ve travelled through the stings of lovers And wept my tears upon their covers I`ve lived the life of roughen queen And dyed my hair to fit the scene I had my ups I had my downs And sipped champagne with worldly crowns I`ve been as honest as I could And shame the shame of those who should I`ve been loved and I`ve been lied to And found few shoulders I could cry to And all those years I thought life`s naughty She made me beautiful at 40 For life`s not been so bad to take For now I cut life`s golden cake Into a million tiny squares And with each piece recall the years The taste of life is not been so bad Between the tears and joys I`ve had For with some good and a little sin She allways allowed me to get up again And all those years I thought life`s naughty She made me beautiful at 40 When times were dark And days were grey And dreams were lost I found my way Through all I`ve seen And all I`ve known I`m still standing here........ alone..... Lyrics written by Eartha Kitt

[@yogui51]

Olaf Wackwitz , thank you so much.

[@edwardladrera86]

This song isn;t Ertha. It is sad. I want to remember her as a voice of no compare, a lady with a sense of humor that makes me laugh even if she lived much much earlier than that of my generation. I am glad I have known her via youtube. Thanks Ea rtha.

[@Dion_Mustard]

what did eartha mean at the beginning when she mentioned fertilizer and "mailed"..it sounded like mailed but could be wrong. anyone?

[@olafwackwitz]

"I´ve had enough merde (merde = the French meaning for shit or manure) thrown on me all my life that I`ve used it as fertilizer"

[@Dion_Mustard]

@@olafwackwitz thank you :) RIP Eartha :/

[@lflagaresd]

where could I get the lyrics for this beautiful song? If someone know where, just let's me know

[@jgerard56]

I believe she wrote the song for this show and fused pieces of another song with it.

[@Animalkisser]

luis fernando lagares daza "Life Made Me Beautiful At Forty" I've been through clouds and stormy skies and different worlds, all filled with lies I've traveled through the stings of lovers And wiped my tears upon their covers I've lived a life of rogue and queen And died my hair to fit the scene I've had my ups, I've had my downs And sipped champagne with worldly crowds I've been as honest as I could And shamed, the shame of those who should I've been loved and I've been lied to And found a few shoulders I could cry on And all those years I thought life naughty, ah-hah She made me beautiful at forty For life's not been so bad to take For now I've cut life's golden cake Into a million tiny squares And with each piece recall the years The taste of life has not been so bad Between the tears and joys I've had But with some good and a little sin She always allowed me to get up again And all those years I've spent on my youth Thinking knowledge brought the truth I know life has her games to play And puzzles of crackling clay So, graves are dug and wars are lost But life goes on at any cost I do think life has made me wiser So there is no reason to disguise her Even I tried to rearrange her She has been fair, I would not change her, hah-hum She presents me life so simply In a cup that's almost empty With a little wine to tease me But not enough to really please me And if I drink, and let her take me She is wise enough to wake me But only after dreams and visions Allowing me to see these decisions, ah-hah All those years I thought life naughty, grrr... She made me beautiful at forty

[@olafwackwitz]
