About This Quote

Eartha Kitt is a singer and actress known for her distinctive, two-octave vocal range and powerful, brassy stage presence. She had a poodle named Aba and had him sing on stage at the inauguration of Ronald Reagan as President of the United States. Kitt said of Aba, “He loves music. He’s got a great voice.

I had him sing on the inaugural platform at the White House with me as a joke. He started singing—in tune! The audience loved it.” Kitt claimed that she was too busy to train Aba to be a proper dog so she had him train himself by listening to recordings of classical music and singing along.
