Well, damn.
Seductive U.S. singer Eartha Kitt dies at 81
EDIT: Additional bits added below
From Wikipedia
"Santa Baby" has been one of my must-hear Christmas carols ever since I first heard it. I believe this is the canonical version - or, Eartha Kitt 's Santa Baby (over the years) is an interesting approach.
It seems many people knew her better as an actress (Catwoman) than as a cabaret singer and dancer, though.
