Met dubbel zoveel nummers als de oorspronkelijke LP. Het extra materiaal stamt uit dezelfde tijd. "Kitt's second album became a US Top Five hit in a year when the curiosity about this exotic creature seemed to be limitless. Although from South Carolina, Kitt came across as an international chanteuse, which spending a few years in Paris, among other places, will do for you. Her recording of "C'est Si Bon (It's So Good)," included here, had reached the US Top Ten, preceded by a minor chart entry in "Uska Dara -- A Turkish Tale" and followed by another, "I Want to Be Evil." In addition to French and Turkish, Kitt sang in Spanish and Swahili, which was more than enough to justify her image as a classy import. Another part of that image was her somewhat predatory sex appeal, which was explored fully in "I Want to Be Evil", "Let's Do It" and "My Heart Belongs to Daddy." By now, she had developed an act she could keep playing for the rest of her life. And that's exactly what she did." (William Ruhlmann, Allmusic)
" Live at the Plaza has the reputation amongst Eartha Kitt fans as being one of the essential releases still in print. Another live album, the Live in London is also popular but is harder to track down. The sound in this live recording is A+, with crystal clear vocals and a deep full band. Live at the Plaza captures Eartha Kitt's sultry stage presence and seductive phrasings at their very best. The songs on the album are also diverse and wonderful, from the bold "Sell Me!" to the sex kitten vamp "I Want to Be Evil" to the surprisingly great "Rumania Rumania." Some live albums are one time listens, but Live at the Plaza stands up to multiple visits. First released in 1965, a good CD version was introduced in 1987. Fans need to pick up this disc. + a recording from 1975 with David Saxon and Orchestra "|
Compilatie met haar bekendste werk uit de jaren '50. Haar subtiel ingehouden, licht-neuzig klinkende zang, afgemaakt met gecontroleerd vibrato geeft haar iets mysterieus, of ze nu Europese liederen zingt of Amerikaanse musicalliedjes.
