Heavenly Eartha is part of RCA’s mid-line series Bluebird’s Best. This is a solid collection of original hits that vocalist and sex symbol Eartha Kitt recorded for Bluebird in the ’50s. Many of her well-known classics have been assembled here, including “I Want to Be Evil,” “Long Gone (From Bowlin’ Green),” “Beale Street Blues,” and “Santa Baby.” Heavenly Eartha is a perfect introduction to the glamorous and occasionally risqué persona of Eartha Kitt. – Al Campbell
