Etta James ( At Last) Etta James got that blues power house voice and the words are powerful 1968 this song came out,,,,,,, Otis Redding any song I love me some Otis Redding,, ✌️❤️💯
My dear young blood, I realize you are so young and I’m so glad you are reacting to songs you’ve never heard because otherwise you would have missed out on divinity - EJ.
TN whiskey was first done in 1981 by David Alan Cole so you’re probably right .. sounds similar .. David’s version was no where near what happened when Chris Stapleton did it .. Chris’s version blew up !! Not saying David’s wasn’t good just telling what the facts are about the song .. I lv David Alan Cole too .. anyways Etta James is amazing !!
I once saw on another video a comment by a musician who explained that this is an often used musical introduction that was actually around long before I'd Rather Go Blind.
@@LadybugLuv The guy who made the comment was a musical scholar. We was explaining chord progressions and technical things. I can't remember if he listed any other songs. If I come across any other songs that open more or less this way I'll try and let you know.
MIss Etta had a voice that simply makes you feel what she was singing about. My favorite is "All I Could Do Was Cry." If you have ever heard (and most of us have) Flo Rida's "Good Feeling" then you have heard Miss Etta's epic line "I Got a Good Feeling" from her song "Something's Got a Hold on Me."
They also have we use to call it some good old belly rubbing music Percy Sledge (Dark End of the Street )he had a lot of good hits( When A Man Loves A Women)
Yo She's A An American Icon My Dude One Of The Greatest Vocalist Of All Time That's Who Beyonce Played In The Movie Cadillac Records The Great Etta James You Definitely Have To Listen To Her Most Famous Song At Last My Dude 💯💯
...ahh, the magnificent miss etta - one of the finest singers ever to grace our little planet - it warms my heart to see the great lady appreciated - if you would like to explore miss e's recordings further, dr no - can i recommend miss etta's off-the-scale terrific version of the eagles' "take it to the limit' - solid!!
My first experience hearing this particular song was when I heard Rod Stewart perform it. Also a sweet rendition that expresses the emotion very well. RIP Etta.
Fantastic reaction Twon, man I can see your soul on your sleeve with this one. Your appreciation for all the great old blues singers is really refreshing . You really feel it and it's infectious to see you enjoying it so much.
I think this was made at Mussel Shoals, look it up and be ready to be blown away. This is some of the best American music every made and Etta was the bomb!
While everyone knows and loves At Last, my favorite is Trust In Me. She was the "Bad Girl of Rock 'n Roll," but modeled herself after The Queen of the Blues, Dinah Washington.
Yep, Twon- this is the original melody. It’s so great to watch you respond to your great musical heritage. Keep going!!!!!! Beyoncé plays her in the movie “ Chess Records”.
Remember this was before computers. This was before Hip Hop, Rap AND BIG MONEY got involved in the industry. Like you said, they played interments and SANG.
There's a guy from scotland who covers this so good it hurts almost as much as her original. Paolo Nutini. He has a whole lot of original songs too, if you like Chris Stapleton, you will like Paolo. Look up up Paolo Nutini, Let Me Down Easy. Trust me.
U want to hear a GREAT version Fr a very young girl. Angelina Jordan has a voice like u have never b4. Her cover of I PUT A SPELL ON YOU is crazy ass insane. She was 10 when she sang it. Try her songs when she was 7 when she won Norways Got Talent. BANG BANG. SUMMERTIME. GLOOMY SUNDAY. NO one shud sing like that at that age. Wtf. Crazy ass INSANE Fr across the waters Canada 🇨🇦 🐥🐥🐥hugs 2 all
Also Dinah Washington's - This Bitter Earth. Nina Simone's "Sinnerman", and "Mississippi Goddamn" are good for black he story month. And Sarah Vaughan's "Misty" is a good one, especially for valentines day.
Etta James is one of the greatest classical jazz singers. You should check out Angelina Jordan, a little girl with an amazing voice. She covered a few songs by Etta James, this song"I rather go blind" at age 13, "At last" at age 8, and "Something"s Got A Hold On Me" at age 11. She does some other covers by Whitney Houston, Rihanna, John Legend, Ella Fitzgerald, Frank Sinatra, James Brown, Adele, Michael Jackson, Aretha Franklin plus many many many more. She's an amazing singer, considered one of the best in the world right now. She just turned 15 last month. Check her out.
I absolutely love her!! Funny story, I was on pandora, without my glasses, I thought I hit Elton John. To my wonder i hit this!! Talk about a happy accident!! I listen to her daily!!! Wow!! ❤✌
Listen son, now you're getting to some good stuff. Now when I was a young man and my auntie was playing this we kids knew we had to stay upstairs cause she was getting ready for company and her man was coming over. We use to listen to the music coming up the heating vents. The parties downstairs were smokey and the lights were low.
@TWON- You hit the nail on the head, when you said that sounded like some Chris Stapleton! lol GREAT 👂!!!👏🏻👏🏻 By the way, have you seen/heard the Chris Stapleton/Justin Timberlake song with their official video for it called : “SAY SOMETHING” ? OHhh man, if you haven’t- you GOTTA!!❣️ Think you’d like it.
Etta is a gal who you wish you could sing like, but no one can compare. She knew how to draw the Blues out of your soul, make you feel it and then be glad you have them
Man I really love your reactions to all this amazing music.. I recommended Mother Earths, "Down So Low" so much great feeling...... also Bonnie Raitts "I Can't Make You Love Me" both the blues, but so much passion.
The great Etta James. Please react to Yebba (Abbey Smith) at Sofar "My Mind" and then the duet with Clark Beckham which is a cover of John Mayer's "Gravity". You will not be disappointed.
PLEASE... give a listen to Hozier singing "Nina Cried Power" live at the Windmill Lane Studios... featuring Mavis Staples! Mavis is a LEGEND! It is a fantastic song calling out all the great musicians (black and white) who have supported equality throughout the years!
Ok. Black History Month. Get to know James Brown, Marvin Gaye, Sly and the Family Stone, Otis Redding, Curtis Mayfield and Al Green. It's a short month -- lots to listen to.
Etta James is amazing. You should also check out Ella Fitzgerald, and if you want a real treat, check out some of the duets between Ella and Louis Armstrong.
Etta James was a special talent! You definitely need to react to her song, At Last, awesome song!
Actually At Last was written for the Glen Miller band. There is a video on TH-cam.
The first time I HEard her I knew how hurt and special this soul was!!
"At Last" by Etta. Most played wedding song ever.
I enjoyed this reaction. I don't see too many people reacting to Etta James.
You don't hear Etta you feel Etta
Etta James ( At Last) Etta James got that blues power house voice and the words are powerful 1968 this song came out,,,,,,, Otis Redding any song I love me some Otis Redding,, ✌️❤️💯
Yessssss!!!
Welcome to the world of Etta James.....One of the greatest musical artist ever......🎵🎶
My dear young blood, I realize you are so young and I’m so glad you are reacting to songs you’ve never heard because otherwise you would have missed out on divinity - EJ.
"Something's Got a Hold On Me", "Strange Things Happen", "Tell Mama", "Blowin' In the Wind"... Etta James is incredible.
She was one of a kind, definitely do "At Last"
My most ..of the most …I sung this song back in the day to my Husband …I think that’s why I had him for 45 yrs ! God keep him …
Let's just say the melody of Tennessee Whiskey was heavy "inspired" by this song!
TN whiskey was first done in 1981 by David Alan Cole so you’re probably right .. sounds similar .. David’s version was no where near what happened when Chris Stapleton did it .. Chris’s version blew up !! Not saying David’s wasn’t good just telling what the facts are about the song .. I lv David Alan Cole too .. anyways Etta James is amazing !!

@@Zebred2001 PLEASE post any link of these songs, I would love to hear them.

George Jones did Tenn Whisky in the 60s or 70s. Og writer & performer
Yes I was hoping you would react to another of her.she was special in my eyes..wish I could have met her❤
MIss Etta had a voice that simply makes you feel what she was singing about. My favorite is "All I Could Do Was Cry." If you have ever heard (and most of us have) Flo Rida's "Good Feeling" then you have heard Miss Etta's epic line "I Got a Good Feeling" from her song "Something's Got a Hold on Me."

Yes. Percy Sledge, Out Left Field
Oh please react to her singing " At Last " I think I said before that it will blow you away ❤️
Yeah !!! Definitely showcases her voice and feeling.
Ain't nothing like cruising in your Lowrider listening to Etta James with your special lady next to you!
She’s bringing you the blues...
Yo She's A An American Icon My Dude One Of The Greatest Vocalist Of All Time That's Who Beyonce Played In The Movie Cadillac Records The Great Etta James You Definitely Have To Listen To Her Most Famous Song At Last My Dude 💯💯
Love your reactions!!...I'm 65 and she never gets old!!
It's so good to see the younger people enjoy Etta
You're right to single out Chris Stapleton - he definitely lifted some inspiration from Etta and old school R&B in general
"At Last" by Etta James
Love, love, love Etta's music! She died in 2012, but her music will live forever. RIP
Etta James--very special talented lady. Suggestion: Patsy Cline-Crying
...ahh, the magnificent miss etta - one of the finest singers ever to grace our little planet - it warms my heart to see the great lady appreciated - if you would like to explore miss e's recordings further, dr no - can i recommend miss etta's off-the-scale terrific version of the eagles' "take it to the limit' - solid!!

That’s all she ever brought was heat !
Fantastic reaction Twon, man I can see your soul on your sleeve with this one. Your appreciation for all the great old blues singers is really refreshing . You really feel it and it's infectious to see you enjoying it so much.
Another classic from etta James. Chess records..chicago
Yes!!!!! She was a legend. PLEASE react to Etta's original of the song At Last (Beyonce's was a cover, from the film in which she played Etta).
MISS ETTA!!! ❤
I think this was made at Mussel Shoals, look it up and be ready to be blown away. This is some of the best American music every made and Etta was the bomb!
Seeing you discover Etta James brought me so much joy! It is like hearing her for the first time myself.
Hey Twon, Etta James is an iconic artist that always brought the "FIRE" to every performance!!! Nice reaction bro!!!
love love love her, always!.....also, we are all your people j/s
Sister Rosetta Tharpe next please she is the God mother of rock
She recorded this in 1967... I heard it on the radio of course and had to stand in line to buy the 45 you have to hear AT LAST>...
While everyone knows and loves At Last, my favorite is Trust In Me. She was the "Bad Girl of Rock 'n Roll," but modeled herself after The Queen of the Blues, Dinah Washington.
Blues songs hit different, especially if you been through it!
I'd you don't have any soul in you, you will after hearing some Etta James. Those vocals, pure bliss!
Yep, Twon- this is the original melody. It’s so great to watch you respond to your great musical heritage. Keep going!!!!!!
Beyoncé plays her in the movie “ Chess Records”.
I have to say Beyoncé did this very well too. Can’t compare but it was good.
Luv how you feel the music!
I'm not a big Beyonce fan BUT when she sung this in Cadillac Records, I was blown away.
I had the privilege of seeing her live twice. She’s a phenomenal vocalist.
One of my favorite songs!
Remember this was before computers. This was before Hip Hop, Rap AND BIG MONEY got involved in the industry. Like you said, they played interments and SANG.
This was an era of the some of the best music.
You need to know more 60s Motown
Get ready !
Son, you have an "old soul", I love it in ya.
Memorable moments - first time tasting ice cream, first kiss, first time hearing Etta James.
Ahhh. Etta James. Great reaction Twon. Can’t wait for more. Hope the move is going well.
Can you dig this song or what!!!! So much soul. ❤ 🤍 💙
The thing that’s wrong with this song...?
It’s too short.
I never want it to end.
Glad you reacted to her. She is an amazing singer. Check out At last .
There's a guy from scotland who covers this so good it hurts almost as much as her original. Paolo Nutini. He has a whole lot of original songs too, if you like Chris Stapleton, you will like Paolo. Look up up Paolo Nutini, Let Me Down Easy. Trust me.
Let it go man! Be you! Takes a man to feel without fear.
Check out , Bo Diddley singing , I’m a Man. Came out around 1957. Great vocals and guitar.
"they would actually play instruments, people could actually sing" - PREACH
The Queen of Soul ❤

the label she was on, chess records inspired the film Cadillac records where beyonce played etta james
One of the best reaction videos

Etta is FIRE!!! Beth Hart also does this song justice!!!!
Etta deserves so much more recogniyion.
Nina Simone - four women, & Young, Gifted and black.
Etta James and BB King there is something on your mind!
BOY! This one had ALL your favorite qualities of a song mixed in it!😍🔥🔥
U want to hear a GREAT version Fr a very young girl. Angelina Jordan has a voice like u have never b4. Her cover of I PUT A SPELL ON YOU is crazy ass insane. She was 10 when she sang it.

We use to listen to the music coming up the heating vents. The parties downstairs were smokey and the lights were low.
The thing about Etta--she's not just one of the stable of greats. She was one of the very, very best. Only a couple a century like her happen.
Live so good!!!!
@TWON- You hit the nail on the head, when you said that sounded like some Chris Stapleton! lol GREAT 👂!!!👏🏻👏🏻
By the way, have you seen/heard the
Chris Stapleton/Justin Timberlake song with their official video for it called :
“SAY SOMETHING” ?
OHhh man, if you haven’t- you GOTTA!!❣️ Think you’d like it.
TOUGH ASS SONG!!!😃😍😎
She could sure sing.
Etta is a gal who you wish you could sing like, but no one can compare. She knew how to draw the Blues out of your soul, make you feel it and then be glad you have them
This song is 53 yrs old now and I can STILL rock with it!!!
Man I really love your reactions to all this amazing music.. I recommended Mother Earths, "Down So Low" so much great feeling...... also Bonnie Raitts "I Can't Make You Love Me" both the blues, but so much passion.
Great reaction to a great song and artiste. Cheers from Canada
I love your channel. I have been binge watching you all day. The Outlaws Green Grass and High Tides Forever. One of my favorite songs.
You should do a reaction to her singing it live at the Montreux in
1975. She sang the the hell out of that song.
Love this song!
The way she did it as a duet with Dr. John is in-fucking-credible. Hurts so good everytime
th-cam.com/video/rxGNZnnwyCg/w-d-xo.html
The great Etta James. Please react to Yebba (Abbey Smith) at Sofar "My Mind" and then the duet with Clark Beckham which is a cover of John Mayer's "Gravity". You will not be disappointed.
PLEASE... give a listen to Hozier singing "Nina Cried Power" live at the Windmill Lane Studios... featuring Mavis Staples! Mavis is a LEGEND! It is a fantastic song calling out all the great musicians (black and white) who have supported equality throughout the years!
Legend
You should check out the live version sometime.. even more magical
Ok. Black History Month. Get to know James Brown, Marvin Gaye, Sly and the Family Stone, Otis Redding, Curtis Mayfield and Al Green. It's a short month -- lots to listen to.
Etta James is amazing. You should also check out Ella Fitzgerald, and if you want a real treat, check out some of the duets between Ella and Louis Armstrong.
You are an old soul for sure
New sub because this is a great idea to go back and listen to the great the real icon’s and legends of the music industry
