Eartha Mae Keith (North, 17 de janeiro de 1927 — Weston, 25 de dezembro de 2008) foi uma atriz e cantora norte-americana.

Píntame angelitos negros es un famoso poema llevado a canción (generalmente como Angelitos negros), original del poeta venezolano Andrés Eloy Blanco.

Este poema muy bien podría considerarse como un himno en contra de la discriminación racial. El poema se incluyó en una obra póstuma (1959) titulada La Juanbimbada, que recoge muchas poesías dispersas de distintas épocas de su vida. Juan Bimba es un personaje ficticio del folclore venezolano, que alude al prototipo del hombre humilde del pueblo.

El poema se hizo muy conocido en todo el mundo de lengua hispana a través de um bolero cuya música pertenece al actor y compositor mexicano Manuel Álvarez Rentería, conocido también con el apodo de Maciste, e interpretado inicialmente por el actor y cantante mexicano Pedro Infante y también por Antonio Machín, y fue especialmente popular en España además de América Latina. En su adaptación al ritmo de bolero, se redujo la extensión de la poesía quitándole el diálogo inicial y algunos venezolanismos, para hacerla más apropiada a la longitud de la obra musical. Aunque mucha gente recuerda la canción en todo el mundo, muy pocos saben que está basada en un poema de Andrés Eloy Blanco.

That Bad Eartha is a 1954 studio album by Eartha Kitt, her debut 12" vinyl album issued on the RCA Victor label. The album was recorded in four sessions between March and October 1953 with Henri Rene and His Orchestra. Long-playing records were newly introduced in the mid-1950s and the 10" album was briefly introduced as an album format. Within a few years the 12" album was the format offered to the record buying public, remaining so until the late-1980s when the Compact Disc became the favoured format. In May 1953 RCA had released a 10" vinyl album RCA Victor Presents Eartha Kitt which reached No. 2 on the pop albums chart and featured 8 songs issued on this album. With the successful introduction of the 12" LP in the early 1950s RCA Victor expanded and re-issued the album with 12 tracks. That Bad Eartha spent 12 weeks on the pop albums chart, peaking at No. 5.

Several singles were issued from this album, "Under the Bridges of Paris" charted in the UK singles chart in 1955 at #7. 

Pintor nacido en mi tierra

Con el pincel extranjero

Pintor que sigues el rumbo

De tantos pintores viejos

Aunque la virgen sea blanca

Píntale angelitos negros

Que también se van al cielo

Todos los negritos buenos

Pintor si pintas con amor

Por qué desprecias su color?

Si sabes que en el cielo

También los quiere Dios

Pintor de santos alcoba

Si tienes alma en el cuerpo

Por qué al pintar en tus cuadros

Te olvidaste de los negros

Siempre que pintas iglesias

Pintas angelitos bellos

Pero nunca te acordaste

De pintar un ángel negro

No matter how hard I try

You keep pushing me aside

And I can't break through

There's no talking to you

It's so sad that you're leaving

It takes time to believe it

But after all is said and done

You're gonna be the lonely one

Do you believe in life after love?

I can feel something inside me say

I really don't think you're strong enough

Do you believe in life after love?

I can feel something inside me say

I really don't think you're strong enough

What am I supposed to do

Sit around and wait for you

Well I can't do that

And there's no turning back

I need time to move on

I need a love to feel strong

'Cause I've got time to think it through

And maybe I'm too good for you

Do you believe in life after love?

I can feel something inside me say

I really don't think you're strong enough

Do you believe in life after love?

I can feel something inside me say

I really don't think you're strong enough

Well I know that I'll get through this

'Cause I know that I am strong

I don't need you anymore

I don't need you anymore

I don't need you anymore

No I don't need you anymore

Do you believe in life after love?

I can feel something inside me say

I really don't think you're strong enough

Do you believe in life after love?

I can feel something inside me say

I really don't think you're strong enough

Do you believe in life after love?

I can feel something inside me say

I really don't think you're strong enough

Do you believe in life after love?

I can feel something inside me say

I really don't think you're strong enough

Memories

Light the corners of my mind

Misty watercolor memories

Of the way we were

Scattered pictures

Of the smiles we left behind

Smiles we gave to one another

For the way we were

Can it be that it was all so simple then

Or has time rewritten every line

If we had the chance to do it all again

Tell me, would we?

Could we?

Memories

May be beautiful and yet

What's too painful to remember

We simply choose to forget

So it's the laughter

We will remember

Whenever we remember

The way we were

The way we were
