| Carvajal had been a long-time Eartha Kitt fan, so it was a real treat for him to meet her. Here is a scan of one of her early albums which he has in his record collection. These were among the hit songs which made her an internationally famous artist. After hearing her "Uska Dara" (sung in the Turkish language) he later spent eight months working in Turkey on a Federal government assignment. While there, his thoughts sometimes turned to Eartha Kitt. |
