Eartha Kitt was a different kind of cat. She demanded respect and admiration. She displayed elegance, extravagance, and hyper sexuality all at once. She is proof that classy doesn’t contradict sexy. She is a hero of mine. If I could meet anyone from any time, she would be my #1.

Not this cut, however in about 1958 when I was 8, I saw her on the telly doing a similar cat related number where she sang and purred along with dance. Pardon my banality but it was right there that I realized what a sultry woman was and what that meant to a boy that would become a man. Not a sexual realization at that time (I was 8), but an awakening of the difference. I remembered her all this time.

I always wondered why her name was mentioned so much in the 70s when I was a small child. I knew she was catwoman but i never saw her performances. I know now that many women have stole bits and pieces from her. Grace Jones. Patti labelle. Diana Ross. Just to name a few. I clearly see that she was a trailblazer who probably stole from Josephine Baker. The original black woman trailblazer. I love it when people who were mishandled as children utilize the time that they have left on earth constructively.
