Her voice control is fantastic. When she switches from being "sweet" to talking about money the overtones click on as if she'd pressed a switch. That's real skill.

Dude it's been about a decade since you made this comment but I'm writing a book and i couldn't think of the word for the particular action a character does in one scene and it'd been bugging me for two days. I now realise the word's "snarl". Thank you.

I adored this lass in the 1950s when I was ten years old. I wrote a short essay on her struggle when she was younger and racially abused. My words were read out in class and my teacher, the late Clarice Harding, gave me top marks.

I'm just an old fashioned girl with an old fashioned mind Not sophisticated, I'm the plain and simple kind I want an old fashioned house, with an old fashioned fence And an old fashioned millionaire I'd like a plain simple car, a cerise Cadillac Long enough to have a bowling alley in the back I want an old fashioned house, with an old fashioned fence And an old fashioned millionaire I'll stay weaving at my loom Be no trouble to my groom If he'll keep the piles of money mounting In our cottage there will be A soundproof nursery Not to wake the baby while I'm counting I like the old fashioned flowers, violets are for me Have them made in diamonds by the man at Tiffany I want an old fashioned house, with an old fashioned fence And an old fashioned millionaire I'm just a pilgrim at heart, oh so pure and genteel Catch me in Las Vegas while I'm at the spinning wheel! I want an old fashioned house, with an old fashioned fence And an old fashioned millionaire I'll ask for such simple things when my birthday occurs Two apartment buildings that are labeled "Hers and Hers" I want an old fashioned house, with an old fashioned fence And an old fashioned millionaire I like Chopin and Bizet And the songs of yesterday String quartets and Polynesian carols But the music that excels Is the sound of oil wells As they slurp, slurp, slurp into the barrels My little home will be quaint as an old parasol And instead of carpets I'll have money wall to wall I want an old fashioned house, with an old fashioned fence And an old fashioned millionaire

Autotune would completely fail trying to process this amazing tonal work. Throughout each phrase, she shifts steadily down in frequency at a varying rate while changing the vibrato at a different rate matched to the beat. It's like Jacquard; two patterns combined. The sound is different from the fancier version with the harpsichord, but I prefer this version; much more wicked... I wouldn't be surprised if someone with more detailed knowledge of her work was to say that she consulted with the TV engineers to know what would pass best on their reduced band-pass technology. Just wonderful!

In 1962 Eartha Kitt starred in the Swedish television programme "Kaskad", produced by Åke Falck. In that year, the programme won the Golden Rose of Montreux award for best entertainment programme. Among the Swedish artists in "Kaskad" (Cascade) were Lill Lindfors, Lena Söderblom and Jan Malmsjö. The previous year, the first of the The Rose d'Or Festival, the Black and White Minstrel Shown won. Google "Jan Malmsjo Lill Lindfors Lena Soderblom" for Swedish newspaper sources referring to this at the time of Kitt's death in December 2008.
