Got Your Love in My Playlist

Eartha Kitt on stage for the Ed Sullivan show with camera showing her from the waist up. She's in a silver strapless gown and wearing a pearl choker. She's singing and has her eyes closed, a smile, and her hands lifted up, palms facing foward.
Eartha knows the ecstasy of love within reach.
