Eartha Kitt - Live From the Cafe Carlyle (2006)

Close

Eartha's first recording of a Live concert since Live in London in 14 years ago.
Legendary stage and screen star Eartha Kitt's gig at the Café Carlyle in Manhattan was recorded live on June 30th in a performance the New York Times calls “Indestructibly Seductive”
In addition to her signature hits ""C'est Si Bon"" and ""La Vie En Rose"" the recording features marvelous Kitt-ish renditions of timeless standards including a growling version of ""Ain't Misbehavin"", a guttural Japanese take of ""Come On-A My House"", the Philippine song ""Waray Waray"" which Miss Kitt sings in Tagalog and an optimistic infused version of ""It Was A Very Good Year"" a refreshing take on Sinatra's often melancholy treatment. In edition to her extraordinary performance, the recording captures delightful banter and anecdotes which demonstrate a confidence and wit rarely displayed by her peers in this or any genre.
EARTHA KITT is an international star that gives new meaning to the word versatile. She has distinguished herself in film, theater, cabaret, music and on television. Miss Kitt is one of only a handful of performers to be nominated for a Tony (three times), the Grammy (twice), and an Emmy Award."
