David, would like to include "What's the use" too?

==================
My reply:

I remember, when I was in high school in the early 50s, seeing 
Eartha Kitt in Boston on stage, singing a song with this name, in 
a show called "New Faces of 1953", (and I am uncertain about the 
date -- could have been 1952).  But it was one helluva show that 
I will never forget.

Is the tune Dick is talking about the same one, or some other,  
earlier one?
