Scotty, i wouldn't expect anyone to believe that an 80 year old woman who has been known primarily as an entertainer and comic chanteuse, played Catwoman in the old Batman series, and is a campy diva icon. We hung around to hear her only because we came for Bob Dorough (who was great) and Dave Samuels (who was boring) and we just had to see the real thing, since the promo fotos of her in a slinky gown were so unbelievably sexy and glamorous, we figured they were either photoshop or from 40 years earlier.. but at 80 she looked excactly like the photos..if anything even sexier. and we wanted to get a chuckle from her famed comic persona onstage for at least one tune, and she didn't disappoint, it was one of her famous hilarious songs and she is an actress par excellence---but her voice was just so mesmerizing we stayed, and stayed, and so did people who were already at their cars and ready to go home..remember this was a jazz crowd, not a campy cabaret crowd..and it was her jazz singing that did it..her voice is a magnificent instrument, her range is amazing, her phrasing astounding..before you agree or disagree you'd have to see and hear her live. I have seen and heard all the greatest live.. Ella, Carmen, Sarah, Peggy, Rosemary..I put Eartha up there with them in a heartbeat. I'm as shocked as anyone to read what i just wrote!
