Eartha Kitt, the American singer, dancer, actress and self-professed "sex-kitten" who has died aged 81, was one of the most remarkable and distinctive entertainers in the history of cabaret and the light musical stage.
Although she played Helen of Troy for Orson Welles (who declared her "the most exciting woman in the world") and in stage plays, films and television programmes, it was as a chanteuse in revue or musical comedy or on records that the peculiar and brilliantly controlled vibrato of her voice, now purring, now growling, always sensually arousing, won greatest admiration.
And my article on her beautiful life here (http://strangemilagros.wordpress.com/2008/12/26/santa-baby-chanteuse-dies-on-christmas-day).
