Ironically, I just picked up her "Collection" CD at the library the other day for my wife. "Santa Baby" is her favorite Xmas Song!

In Sept. of 2007 I was in N.Y. for a bday party at the Carlyle Hotel. I was fortunate to see E.K. perform that night. She, already aged 80, wore a high slit dress and put on quite a show. She tastefully played her "sex kitten" role while acknowledging her age at the same time. I'm glad to have had the opportunity to have seen/heard her that night.
