Eartha Kitt - C'est Si Bon

By her own admission, she was conceived in a rape in the cotton belt of America and struggled through poverty in most of her younger years. Yet, when she struck her groove in the tough worlds of Broadway and jazz music, she shone like few others. Listen to Eartha Kitt (January 17, 1927 – December 25, 2008) gurgling her way through C'est si bon ('It's So Good'), a standard she pushed up the charts first in 1952.
