A 22-track compilation of Eartha Kitt's classic '50s and early '60s recordings, PURR-FECT is Kitt in her purest form. Later in her career, starting with her stint as Catwoman in the '60s TV version of BATMAN, Kitt moved comfortably into the role of camp icon. On these recordings, which certainly have their kitsch value nonetheless, Kitt is less of a goofy oddball and more of an idiosyncratic artist. Her purring, half-spoken singing style was at least as much an artistic choice as it was-as critics have sometimes alleged-a way to mask vocal shortcomings. Throughout this collection, on songs as familiar as "Just An Old Fashioned Girl," "C'Est Si Bon" and "Santa Baby" and as relatively obscure as "Under the Bridges of Paris," Kitt's sometimes-maligned voice delivers wit, empathy and passion as well as any more technically accomplished singers. The stunning, ironic "Monotonous" is a particular highlight.
First ever single-disc compilation to include all her biggest RCA hits!!! Eartha Kitt is the stuff of which legends are made. Although she passed in 2008, she is still as popular as when she made her classic RCA recordings in the mid to late '50s. (cd Universe)
