What's your favorite song cover by Eartha Kitt? 🎶
------------------------ cover.....? her Catwoman costume.....
@@rsgabrys3080 Hehe😛
Not a cover, as far as I know, but I Don't Care
as of today, _All by Myself_
My favorite song that she sang is, I Want to Be Evil. I've done a music video of her with a remix of that song
When she sings, she reminds me of Marlene Dietrich. I saw Miss Kitt once and it was amazing how she sucked in the audience. You really felt she was singing to each audience member. I think these two women were much greater actresses than singers, and that's what made them so mesmerizing.

What a great soul,thank you sister
Akon the hathor😂😂😂❤❤❤

I tried to get the spoken word part down as best as I could. Starts at 2:01 or so.
There's been some clouds and stormy skies
And different worlds all filled with lies
I've traveled through the stings of lovers
And wiped my tears upon the covers
I've lived a life of rogue and queen
And dyed my hair to fit the scene
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 few shoulders I could cry to
And all those years I thought life naughty
She made me beautiful
At forty.
For life has not been so bad to take
But now I 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
For with some good and a little sin
She always allowed me to get up again
And now that I've seem to have passed her senses
It seems that this is where life commences
I know life has her games to play
And she puzzles it with crackling clay
For 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
She wouldn't(?) try to rearrange her
She has been fair
I would not change her
But if I had to live her over
I would take her four-leaf clover
And pluck her petal as from a daisy
For I know she can be lazy
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 without a question
She will frown without suggestion
But if I sip and let her take me
She is wise enough to wake me
But only after dreams and visions
Allowing me to seize decisions
And all those years I thought life naughty
My visions visualized
At forty.
Eartha released it on Thinking Jazz. It's a heartbreaker.
@dylanlancaster3160 I wasn't aware of that, but I just listened to it and you're absolutely right. For anyone interested, it's called Life Made Me Beautiful At Forty.
@@JoseMoreira-yv3exTo whom does she refer to as “she”?
When she was young her life was truly horrific. Check it out if you have a strong stomach? Deserves much higher respect and recognition than she gets.
: Eartha Kitt was epic! 🕯🕊🕯
Peace and love...
This is terribly sad. She was remarkable !
Eartha really put her all in her performances. Amazing cover.
Yes, Rachmaninoff would be pleased she covered him.
I cried. I’m not afraid to admit it. 😢
My late mother adored her. So do I at 72. Amy Winehouse, Esther Williams and Eartha Kitt, plus Barbra streisand are God's Gift of Magic in Music❤thanks Good Heavens, ever and ever🎉
Judy Garland too
There are very, very little performers who could live and project a song like she did. Oh how I miss her
The absolute best version of this moving song!
Exquisite rendition of a classic song she's made her own with this performance!🥰😘 Rest well, beautiful lady,so glad 😊 she is beyond the hurt she experienced in her lifetime...🥰🥰😘
I saw her show in Melbourne, just great I love you Eartha 👍👋🙏
I am 40. And this is everything. Thank you.
Now that's what you call a performance.
Rest in powerful peace
Eartha Kitt 🙏

An autobiography given as a brilliant and intensely emotional performance!
A great neglected artist!
You are never forgotten, and loved! Thank you!!
Oh my gosh that speech! She got me crying! Felt every word and I’m not even forty!
I love that woman.
A great singer can make you cry and she does it every time..every word is felt!! Very few singers like her today..
Orson Welles once called Eartha Kitt "the most exciting woman in the world."
lol..sure
@@jadezee6316 It's true, but the quote is usually "the most exciting woman on earth." They were close friends and co-starred in a play in 1950. You can see pix of them together on YT.
After witnessing this, I had to re-evaluate everything I knew and loved about camp. I've downgraded everyone a notch. This is the pinnacle.
Spectacular. Such a brilliant performer. So talented and beautiful ❤️✨
There are just something in her life and her voice, and those words that let my tears flow...so, so very beautiful 😢
BEAUTIFUL! And with her emotive poetry and distinctive singing, she elevated the song into something else! ❤
such elegant and amazingly talented woman she is!
Love you Eartha beautiful Angel rest now sweet soul ✨🙏💚
truly one of a kind
Extraordinary! So moving!
EARTHA IS A SUPERSTAR!!
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
One of the best things I’ve ever seen and heard
This is how to be raw
touching
Just beautiful
Brilliant cover!
Incredible.
And I thought the “Modal Mixture common tone enharmonic double chromatic mediant modulation” video dissection of Celine’s version is the best All By Myself YT Video there is…
Le style. Le grand style.
I probably would've busted out cry in the audience, seriously lol
❤
She sang her life…
❤❤❤❤
Wow
👑👑👑
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏😭
Her singing reminds me of Marlene Dietrich. Like "Das Lied ist aus".
What monologue is that from in the middle of the song?
she wrote it
I wonder what did Eric Carmen think about the Cabaret performance of his song All By Myself and I Wonder if the Great Bobby Short, got a chance to sing the song.
I like I Want to Be Evil ( not sure if that's a cover) 🎃
Think that’s her own!
That’s fooking shocking seriously
The performance is amazing. Not sure that it is the best version of the song, though.
L😍VE the spoken part, but the rest...nah.
She makes Eric Carmen’s version sound like the Sex Pistols. Sorry, just didn’t like this.
Don't say sorry when you clearly aren't. Just state your OP and leave it. 💤
maybe you'll like it more when you've lived a little
@@Marcel_Audubon how old do you have to be to recognize a bad performance?
@@jadezee6316Obviously Because You Don't Know Art And Wouldn't Know It If It Was Staring You In The Face
On Batman ,didn't she play a Villain named Dogwoman? That tried killing people with her singing?
She was Catwoman .
Mag kwento ka na lng haha
This rendition is a stinker 🦨
Don’t like it at all. Overdramatic.
Oh but it’s real. Look into who she was. Perhaps you don’t see it but when she sings i see her whole life in her face. Every feeling and emotion. And best yet it’s so subtle. Not many artists could do this without faking it.
Shite.
Tears I can't hide ❤🎉
Bravo
