The great lady passed away on Christmas Day. Here's some choice Eartha ...
Firstly, the most appropriate one for the season, though rather sad considering the date of her death - "Santa Baby" from 1953 (with added drag)
Here's another of her trademark songs, "Just An Old Fashioned Girl", performed in 1962
We then jump to her 1980s re-invention as a gay icon. First with comeback hit "Where Is My Man", which I was lucky enough to see her perform live in late 1983 at Fire Island in Edinburgh. This one is audio only, but is the original mix.
Here's two very gay friendly videos for subsequent singles "I Love Men" and "I Don't Care"...
And finally, Eartha teamed up with Bronski Beat in 1989 for Cha Cha Heels...
