Making It In America

Today a great voice was silenced.  In spite of treatment she was undergoing in New York, Eartha Kitt succumbed to colon cancer, a battle she had been fighting since 2006.  How ironic that she, whose voice I have been hearing over and over again for the past twenty-five days, would die today of all days, Christmas!  After learning of her death, her most famous song was played on the computer.  Her list included cars and mines among many others.  What a shame she did not ask “Santa Baby” to bring good health down her chimney last night.  She will be missed by all who enjoyed her mellow, melodic voice.
