The world is a mirror. Some people see themselves everywhere and hate it. It can not be her they truly don't like, but all the things they are themselves and all the things they may never be. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder!
Her record company didnt care for her or her voice....so they released this song thinking it would flop, but it was a hit....especially with kids....she said they would come up to her and ask "Arent you the lady that sings "Ishka Bibble"?" LOL!!
She self taught herself 8 languages. No real family to turn to and she was a true survivor. I wished Oprah Winfrey would have honored her but she never did. Sad. ;(
a real talent and so unique, lacking in proper family relationships early on. When it comes to Oprah, I have no use for her she's part of that phony hollywood machine
One of my favourite Turkish songs. Dates back to the Ottoman times. It’s original name is Kâtibim. She sang this song beautifully and her Turkish is not bad at all when reciting the lyrics. Eartha was truly a beautiful talented singer and performer. Her stage presence was majestic ❤️
Turkish not bad? You musn't be a fluent Turkish speaker since although Eartha Kitt may have a beautiful voice she absolutely butchered this song. If you want to hear the best version of this you cannot go past Safiye Ayla's version she has a stunning voice. th-cam.com/video/4fCN75eZUDk/w-d-xo.html
@@tolgahk84 You are wrong man. Kitt perorms the song in the orginal speaking in 1900's. She got loyalty the old style of the song. Such as karuşur, not karışır.

@@quran-kuran7965 Mate as a Turk am fully aware of this song and the language it is sung in, and Kitt absolutely butchered this song.

OMG yes Sandy Newton would be great playing Eartha Kitt I would think sometimes who would play Eartha Kitt in a movie and I could never think of anybody who could play her but that is a good choice
wow eartha kitt was the best catwoman and as a singer she is tops and no one better . she had such a rang and was so fluent in so many languages and can sing any style and she is very funny as well . eartha kitt was the most genuine artist andt thank you for posting this great clip
Look at any video of Ms. Kitt but her ears were never pierced. Never saw her with any earrings other than clip ons and any vidoes you see she never had any pierced ears til her death. She was very non Hollywood and truly walked to the beat of HER drum.
This same song exists in modern greek with the title "apo xeno tropo" (from a stranger place), and in many other languages. They did an anthropological documentary about all these versions, it's called "Whose is this song?". It's a very good film, I recommend it!
@@danielsmacere5931 Yes, and if I remember correctly, the Turkish song comes from a musical comedy where the protagonist is a clerk that is very lucky with women. Is that right? Maybe you even know the title of that musical? But I don't speak Turkish, therefore I don't know if here she is singing the same words like the original song or if she changed the words, no idea. Anyway, the documentary I mentioned talks exactly about this: this song exists in many countires in the East Europe, and every country says that they have the true original version and that the other countries only copied them to create their version. Also, in every country this song has a very important meaning, so the countries have disputes about who has the original version. I saw the documentary a lot of time ago, but I think this happens in these countries: Turkey, Greece, North Macedonia, Bulgaria, Serbia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Albania (but I am not sure). I mentioned the modern greek version because it is the only one in which I understand a few words and I know the title by heart (I don't speak any language from East Europe, unfortunately, but I study Ancient Greek)
Gone are the days of music with class and gone are real talented women who puts brains into their music just like Eartha who can sing in many languages. We sure miss you dear Eartha.
One of the most absolutely sophisticated and refined true superstars from the 1950's and 1960's. She was the perfect choice as Catwoman on Batman in the 60's. I could go on and on with my accolades. She was truly a mega star. I know you are on your own star in the cosmos dripping in diamonds, sleeping on a mink bed and sipping champagne 🍾🥂👍🏾💯❤️🌎🌍
My hubby performed this on one of his records in 1952 in USA. Eartha Kitt takes it an awesome level. Such a talented lady. The broke the mold when she was made.
Such a pity I didn't even know as many people this beautiful lady existed, she has the beauty of a panther and she is very talented and graceful ❤️❤️❤️
She is next level amazing! Every single movement, gesture, and pose! The flawlessness of it all takes my breath away. Artistry personified ♥️! And THAT laugh at the end, I LOVE EARTHA ♥️!
She was a trained dancer, scholarship cause she was all on her own until someone saw her raw talent. Thats how you see her grace and elegance. But her wits is just hers and all hers.
NOBODY can nail something like this nowadays! She MADE it her way, and it was RIGHT! Sweet dreams Eartha, may you achieve over there, what you didn't get here, on the planet named after YOU❣️ 🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
Eartha Kitt was a not a Force To Be Reckon With!! She was Beautiful Talented and Full of Chrisma!! They way she sang would send chills down Any Man's Back and not many Women Could Do That!! Much Love Eartha💖💛💖💛
Cool. I'm a heterosexual Male, but have had gay/bi friends. She said that she had mmf threesomes with James Dean and Paul Newman. On the regular. That doesn't make you bi. However, it's been documented that Dean and Newman were bi in the early '50's. Also, she slept with Marlon Brando then, who definitely slept with the top men and women of Hollywood in the '50's.
Eartha Kitt oozed sensuality WITHOUT resorting to wearing next to nothing ,vulgarity and mock intercourse type moves while performing. A lesson today's young starlets and singers could learn a lesson from.

...True. Although there was double entendre, suggestively pregnant pauses, and knowing smiles, Ms.Kitt was always a lady and never vulgar in the least. Vulgarity is never progressive, it's just trashy...no getting under, around, or over it.

I am Turkish and I have no idea what she is saying in 00:27 but it is totally not "I like to feed my lover with bird's milk". We have saying like "only bird's milk is missing." for the dinning table full of everything to point that bird's milk is something impossible to find and it is the only missing thing on the table.
I cant believe this... She is singing about Uskudar, a district in Istanbul. I am Turkish but you can hardly understand the words :D This is nice... Greetings from Turkey
This is a level of professionalism and creativity that you just don't see anymore.
This lady was unique.
Exactly ..
This is before the money side of entertainment took COMPLETE control.
Not any more!
And one has the sense that she is enjoying herself when she is entertaining us!
How can one not love Eartha? So beautiful and talented. A voice like no other. She may be gone but never forgotten!
+michael more never! never will be forgotten.

Until it's time for the coffin...😅😃
She is beautiful..Just don’t understand her translation from Üsküdar language
I have no clue because I’m hooked
Her record company didnt care for her or her voice....so they released this song thinking it would flop, but it was a hit....especially with kids....she said they would come up to her and ask "Arent you the lady that sings "Ishka Bibble"?" LOL!!
They was stuck on stupid
She self taught herself 8 languages. No real family to turn to and she was a true survivor. I wished Oprah Winfrey would have honored her but she never did. Sad. ;(
She was never on Oprah's show?
yes, she was really unique, grew up so abused, survived and then became part of the theater

Lo Spaghetto I always thought that, but looking at this clip- I'm seeing Naomi Harris!
No not her Zoe that played in columbiana Zoe favors her alot
Zoe Saldana will probably get the part
