    Default Eartha Kitt!!!

    Oh my gawd!!! I have a new reason to go to work!!! I was looking for a house remix of "Where is my man" that I have on vinyl. I thought it would be fun to dance to. Well, I was having some trouble getting ahold of it, so I started listening to some of her other stuff. Gawd she's amazing!!! And ballsy!!! I can't wait till Sunday to use this stuff! Oh yeah, red lipstick, feathers....

    Eartha Kitt is sexy as hell.

    For a modern version, check out Erika Badu, especially her "Baduism" CD. She is different here from that "Tyrone" song, which is good, but not in the same league as this CD! This is more distinctive and jazz-oriented in an upbeat style.

    Track number 12 (I think--it's not here) "Where Does the Love Go?" is stunning, in a smooth, jazzy, sexy way. The rest are excellent, if a bit slow for the rockers and hip-hoppers in the crowd. But the right dancer can pull it off, I have seen it many times.

    I just saw Eartha on the Today Show yesterday. DAMN! She is STILL smoking hot!

    Your theme is gonna kick ass!!! (Love the boa idea!)

    DJoser is right on about Erika also... Although I have never recognized the similiarities... I think its worth a second listen. She is a very strong woman with super smooth grooves!

    Good luck! And "PPPPRRRRRRRR!"

    Thanks Djoser for the suggestion on Erika Badu. I downloaded the remix of Bag Lady, which features Lucy Pearl. Great song

    "Bag Lady", in spite of the disconcerting name (one dancer who loved Erika Badu was pissed off when I told her I was going to play Bag Lady for her, until she heard it), is a great song--the remix, that is.

    Thanks for the suggestions, DJ_Lewi.

    On second thought I'm not so sure how similar Erika is to Eartha Kitt, probably more like Billie Holiday, actually--but whatever, she is very good...
