AN EXCELLENT COPY OF THIS GREAT 78 FEATURING TWO REALLY GREAT SIDES FROM THE SULTRY MISS EARTHA KITT

THE XMAS CLASSIC

SANTA BABY

b/w    LET'S DO IT (Let's fall in love)

Born in the South and raised in Harlem, sultry black actress/singer Eartha Kitt attended New York's High School of Performing Arts. After touring with Katherine Dunham's dance troupe, Kitt headlined at choice nightclubs in both Paris and the U.S. She made her acting debut as Helen of Troy in Orson Welle's 1951 staging of Faust. The following year, she came to Broadway in the musical revue New Faces of 1952 in which she stopped the show on a nightly basis with her sensuous rendition of "Monotonous" and "C'est Si Bon." 

Though considered a "crossover" performer, Kitt's movie appearances were often confined to films with predominantly African American casts. She made several well-received TV guest appearances in the 1950s and 1960s, unexpectedly gaining a flock of preteen fans for her portrayal of The Catwoman on a 1967 installment of Batman.
