Cha Cha Heels

80s dance group Bronski Beat collaborated with Eartha Kitt on this 1989 dance hit 'Cha Cha Heels'. Collaborations between music artistes is a norm but i believe it takes an enigmatic singer and voice to bring the song to a next higher level.



Though i may not know much about Eartha Kitt other than her origins as a 1950s singer, when i first heard her voice on this track, i knew it gave the song a special touch. That slick sensual voice and characteristic growls really added a different dimension to the song. Take a listen to it and download a copy here.

Eartha Kitt died at the age of 81 on Christmas Day in 2008 last year.

' So don't you mess around with me you won't know what to do
Cause I'll put on my cha cha heels and walk all over you '
