Sarah Vaughan's performance of "Whatever Lola Wants", the siren song from the Faustian "Damn Yankees".
The power and contempt in her voice! One would think this is about seduction, and it is, but when Lola purrs she has come to take your heart and soul…. It’s not a metaphor.
Satan dislikes losing.
Two different visual renditions. The first powerful, graphic and bold.
The second invokes another time and the paintings are lovely - note the textures of the clothing, the glow of skin and the sleek beauty of the women's hands. Especially well done are the reflections in the cars at the beach. (Different artists throughout, obviously).
Sink yourself into this song, and enjoy.
