Eartha Kitt - St. Louis Blues Lyrics

So gorgeous

jazzy voice..like an instrument

She sings the blues as they should be sung but the band is all wrong.

America's original diva!

As far as my concern Eartha kitt was the sexiest woman of all time

The most beautiful woman that ever existed in Hollywood

I felt that in my soul

Wow how have I just discovered this lady

Her voice get on my nerves and it feels as some squeezes me on my head. To hear her was much worst than listening to a drill maschine. What a horrible voice. I boycotts her recordings. I really MEAN IT

You really suck!! This is sung to perfection!!!! Phyllis Layne

Ada Jones fan Shut up, dumb bitch!

One of the worst St. Louis blues I haver have heard. She sang very horrible. I really not hear her again. In my ears Marion Harris did the best Version of St. Louis blues

You do not have a ear for music!!! This a classic, and will stand for all time. Phyllis o

Ada Jones fan Once again, SHUT UP you dumb, delusional bitch!

Dorothy had "IT" but Ertha Kitt was something else She had 'IT" and more! Sexy sexy sexy! I love Ms Kitt

Billie Holiday

My heart ❤️

Didn't she let a couple of white guys run a train on her😂😂😂

What of the best performers and human beings ever.Love her.

Yes, Mistress Eartha...whatever you wish...I am yours to command...ouch!

I love this movie my first exposure to her not as Catwoman there is gold out there in theses old movies

I loved the little clip at the beginning of Kitt as the Catwoman on the 1960's "Batman" TV show, but most of this is from the 1958 film "St. Louis Blues," a biopic of blues composer and bandleader W. C. Handy starring Nat "King" Cole. (BTW, both Handy and Cole were the sons of ministers.) I first saw "St. Louis Blues" in the 1980's and thought Eartha Kitt could have given Madonna lessons on how to look sexy on screen! This isn't Kitt's best sequence in the film (her version of Handy's "Yellow Dog Blues" is), and that arrangement is really silly, but it's still worth having.

Some Lady!

Gene Austin sang this a million times better. Also Marion Harris sang this a million times better. I be never fan of Eartha Kitt. Sorry,but I can't like her.

And..............? Why do you have to be sorry? Who cares?????

Billy Murray fan You don't like EARTHA KITT that's fine not everyone has good taste!

i READ OR HEAARD SHE WS KICKED OUT OF HER AREA TO SAVWE HER LIVE ,AMAZING WHA T SHE DID THER E AFTER

Bravo Eartha Kitt i am lucky to meet her i remember when i brought her
flowers at the Spectrum in montreal when she gave the beautiful concert
and it was her birthday. Very nice person ,humble , a real artist.

classic cat woman has special powers to put kinky nappy and frizzy in one magical smoke bomb. WOW what a powerful super hero.

Cat Women took those ladies straight into the eighties. Eartha Kitt I love you!

Lol sure did

This never stops raising goosebumps that come from deep in our Missouri roots.
my first Black muse!

I love the non sequitur Catwoman opening.... before Eartha takes the stage as the glamourous Gogo. This was a great movie and the performances were stellar!!

what a classy lady. RIP Eartha ...

A great song, but the music seems WAY too overproduced. you don't need a full orchestra for the blues.

Mrs. Kit saves it, but it really was a struggle to get through the first half of the song

+JohnnyV83 nahhh... the orchestra sounded great.

+JohnnyV83 The idea was that Jazz and Blues were now being accepted as serious music on the same level as Classical. This moment elevated the life of songwriter William Handy. And one of Eartha's great vocals!

I think it's great they pulled out all the stops with strings for her. Don't forget the great Charlie Parker with Strings, just awesome

I agree with the first post. An orchestra can be excellent and I have no faults with this one but when you have a voice like hers it doesn't need all the extras.

Its a living music, even now. A man never tells the same story the same way twice unless hes a phony. Same for a woman.

Great lady!

The great, the wonderful, the sexy Ms. Eartha Kitt.

.... this... is this... Yzma.

in paradise

I've seen many artists perform this song but, in this moment with her facial expressions and how she commands the audience with her aura of power, elegance and poise; she embodied the lyrics and I haven't found a performance to top her in this one to this day.

the original with bessie smith.

I'll have a listen to that one then.  Thank you ^_^

LadyJ G - She was a shy Capricorn but had Sagittarius as her Ascendant which I believe gave her that extroverted performance spark.

She was elegant and cool

i remember very clearly hearing she died because she dies at christmas-time and because she sang santa baby.

che voce magnifica,che donna bellissima!!!

Remember when beyonce was going to play her?

Modzw,
I’m glad she didn’t

such an elegant melancholy

FIERCEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!! OMG I Could Not DEAL Huneyy YESZZZZ!!!

I could see Jada Pinkett portraying her in a much needed future-length film. Both women were petite in staure but possess a commanding attitude!

They look nothing alike...

That is a grand film production...

St Louis Blues was on of the best movies that I have ever seen. Loved it!

I agree 100%

As far as actresses are concerned, Zoe Saldana would be a good fit, she resembles Earth Kitt, but someone else would have to do the vocals like they did for Angela Bassett when she played the part of Tina Turner. She did an excellent job, but she did no singing.

Marcus Barton-Sconiers
Tf? She looks nothing like her

Did you notice how graciously she walks onto the scene? Definitely the fairest of them all!!

laserdave82
No, she was the darkest of them all which is why she was the most beautiful

@MsVolturiGirl i know!!! it flutters...like the wings of a butterfly...thats what comes to mind

@bellini7verdi Eartha era una ARTISTA de verdad.

I love the opening...Cat woman!

Belgusto1 is

asi me gusta la puesta en escena.con el despliegue que dice de la valia del interprete.clase y puesta en escena.fantastico.esto ya no existe ni en la opera hoy en dia.

she is so amazing.

people PAY to have those hair styles now a days lol. I didn't even know Ms Kitt had died. What a disgrace it wasn't more widely broadcast. Such a legend!

i got this movie several years agoon ebay..from Yesteryear Movies...hope this helps

Earth Kitt, the OG Cat Woman. RIP Eartha.

Wow. Amazing song.

I remember when my dad used to watch this movie. It brings back memories.

Eartha KITT était une de ces femmes remarquables, la voix et une personnalité envoutante. Ce vibrato, et cette façon merveilleuse de faire onduler ses vocalises seront inoubliables.
Miss KITT va manquer au Jazz et à la Pop.
Personne ne la remplacera. Il suffit d'entendre son interprétation de "My Heart Belongs to Daddy" pour s'en convaincre.

Eartha KITT tu va nous manquer.

Repose En Paix.
