"These songs hark back to a time when the power of suggestion was still potent.
Innocent as they now seem, ditties like C'est si bon and I want to be evil were
eyebrow-raisers in the 1950s; in some cities they were even banned from radio. But by
no means did Eartha limit herself to naughty tunes."
James Gavin, box-set "Eartha-Quake" (1993)
