What an amazing voice she had and such an attractive woman. She was cheated of her fortune by an unscrupulous manager and fell on hard times, from which she never recovered.
Very old school style of singing for 1964 - incredible control and power. I notice she claps on 1 and 3. :^D This lady's musical aesthetic was formed before the backbeat was even invented. I bet she owned Ethel Merman records as a kid!
@@alfching2499 I don't know if it's to do with how 'good' she was; but this was the era when a whole new generation of popular culture was erupting; and stylistically she clearly fit in the previous generation - which was getting superseded.
@@alfching2499 She was influenced and controlled by her mentor, a bandleader, for whom she once sang and who wanted her to look like Marilyn Monroe. He also wanted her to sing the standards, so yes, she was never a rock chick.

Kathy's voice was superb. I believe she had been classically trained and it shows. Wonderful.🙂

Go Joe Loss! Band leader extraordinaire! Perfect backing for Miss Kirby.

Sounds like a James Bond movie theme track.
I was thinking the same thing.
😃👏👍
Fantastic performer, who ended tragically.
It was a good decision not to show the guy who's introducing her performance.
