What an amazing woman. Her abilities were very broad and deep and her talents were only an extension of her great character. She deserved every ounce of praise she received and more.



We will miss you Eartha.

The last song I heard tonight before leaving the in-laws' was Eartha's version of Santa Baby. She'll be missed.

I grew up listening to her records. I think my father kind of had a thing for her.
