Eartha Kitt, a once-in-a-lifetime talent, purrs her delicious holiday hit, “Santa Baby,” which became the best selling Christmas song of 1953 when it was released.
It’s top sales status was apparently due to the controversy surrounding the very suggestive tongue-in-cheek lyrics.
“Santa Baby” entered several of the Billboard charts in the twenty-first century.
In 2005, the song had its best week on the Digital Songs chart, reaching number 28 in the month of December. In December 2012, “Santa Baby” peaked at number 11 on Billboard’s seasonal Holiday Digital Song Sales chart in the United States.
I met the amazing Ms. Kitt in New York City in the 1980s, and she totally lived up to her charming persona.
