One of the true original divas. This is a club classic. She was 56 years old when she released this, had it been a pop hit then it she may have been the oldest artist to have a top 40 hit in 1983.

I loved this song. I always thought it was kinda cute and totally campy.
I actually discovered this through the 2000 update of this by Joe T. Vannelli.

I never heard this song until the mid 90s but it's good.

The later Eartha era. She's always had a bit of an edge to her, and this was no exception. Nice song.

Eartha was famous in the 1950's for the Christmas classic "Santa Baby".

This is probably my favorite of her 80s songs. I can really only appreciate those songs for their camp value. They're not really songs I would sit and listen to. That's why the music videos are so fun! This one was written by comedy writer Bruce Villanch. It was a relative comeback at the time, going Top 10 in a handful of European countries as well as the US club chart. She had been fairly inactive in her music career for over a decade when she released this.
