AMERICA'S LAST DIVA - CALLED HOME!
Eartha Kitt, a sultry singer, dancer and actress who rose from South Carolina cotton fields to become an international symbol of elegance and sensuality, has died, a family spokesman said. She was 81.
Andrew Freedman said Kitt, who was recently treated at Columbia Presbyterian Hospital, died Thursday in Connecticut of colon cancer.
Those are the facts of Ms Kitts death…….But he facts don’t even begin to tell her STORY. Here let me add my two-cents worth before you read the rest. I am 59 years of age. When Eartha dies she was 81 and that means she was a full TWELVE years older than me. I discovered her at the sam time that he world did. Only, I was 16 and she was 25……..GROWN……ACCOMPLISHED……and BLACK!
She became an instant part of that cadre of women who would go on to define me as a Black Man SMITTEN. To be sure she was one of many. Dorothy Dandridge, Lena Horne and Eartha all had a profound effect on this impressionable teenage boy with RAGING HARMONES!. Dorothy was quite BEAUTIFUL, Lena Horne was just as BEAUTIFUL…..BUT EARTHA was SEXY!!! Was she ever!!!
Many nights during that first Holiday season of “SANTA BABY” I lay dreaming of a sexual liaison with this icon of sexual passion and wanton desire. At exactly where I am starting this Tribute Concert! Somewhere between my second and third WET DREAM over her………OOPS DID I SAY THAT!
