A couple clips from the 1958 film St Louis Blues, starring Nat King Cole, Eartha Kit, Pearl Bailey, Mahalia Jackson, Ruby Dee, Ella Fitzgerald and Cab Calloway. A biopic about W.C. Handy, if any film has an all star cast this one does.
I have been looking for this film on DVD for uears, but it is now streaming on Netflix.
"Chantez Les Bas" - Eartha Kit
"Beale Street Blues" - Ella Fitzgerald
"Morning Star" - Nat King Cole sings to Pearl Bailey

Christmas 2009 - Pt 2
Eartha Kitt died on Christmas Day 2008. Fortunately, we still have this classic Christmas song, "Santa Baby".
A video that goes back a few years. From 1960, Patsy Cline and Ferlin Husky singing "Let It Snow".
One of my favorite Christmas traditions is Darlene Love's appearance on the David Letterman Show every year to perform "Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)". She first recorded this song over 45 years ago for the album "A Christmas Gift for You from Phil Spector". It is still a treat to hear her sing it every year. This years performance is scheduled for broadcast tonight. The video here is from last year.
