Etta James never sang a bad song. Great blues- her song At Last is fantastic
100% Every song she had was 🔥
Etta James is the best female singer I ever heard. Barbara Striesand is a close second.
Absolutely agree
This was my parent's generation music. I was a kid (probably less than 10) the first time I heard this song and didn't know jack about life, but when I heard this record, I knew the lady singing the song wasn't just singing a song. She sounded like she was living what she was singing.
My mother wanted to know why we were listening to old school music… we were loving “Tell Mama”!
"At Last" is a must listen for her!!!
ETTA James was a once in a lifetime talent. This song has been covered by numerous artists. Etta is still my favorite. So much soul. I've been stuck in the hospital for over a month. Your channel brightens my day
Chris Stapleton and Beyonce on Tennessee whiskey is simply BEAUTIFUL no one forgets this song if their older than 50
Yes she was. Sending you healing vibes and hope that you’ll gain your strength and walk out of that hospital soon.
Hi Dale! So sorry your in hospital! I hope you get better soon! God Bless you! Peace & Blessings to you and your family!
Hope all goes well Dale
Thinking of you in Australia
Australia 💕 Christina
No one sings this like Etta
Queen of the blues ms.Etta James
Y'all really didn't know about Ms. Etta!?! Lawd have mercy......she is the wellspring of Pipes! Every time I hear her voice I get chills.
FACTS.....Her and Sam Cooke. Best to ever do it.
I don't think she's ever been given the respect she should have. She was way ahead of her time.
I agree 10000%
SAME!!! 💜
I disagree. She's gotten a lot of recognition and was highly respected. She's even in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
She was a giant in singing the blues and in soul music. This song "I'D Rather Go Blind" (1968). Was composed by Ellington Jordan with lyrics by Billy Foster. Her greatest hit though, and her claim to fame internationally was her multi-platinum song "At Last" )1960). It became her signature song, and her cover is the one that is used in many movies and television commercials.
The song "At Last" first came out in 1941 done by the Glenn Miller Orchestra. And in 1942 the movie "Orchestra Wives" with the Glenn Miller orchestra and Glenn Miller himself. Acted and played this song in the movie. They added lyrics to the music, and it was sung in the movie by Mr. Ray Eberle & Ms. Pat Friday. The rest as they say is history.
I glad that you responded with this information. 👊🏽I found this out a year before she died.
I don't know of any woman that doesn't love Etta's song "At Last".
Etta James was an American singer who performed in various genres, including blues, R&B, soul, rock & roll, jazz & gospel in the 50's-80's. She had an amazing powerful voice. She had so many hits such as "The Wallflower", "Tell Mama", "Something's Got A Hold On Me", "I'd Rather Go Blind", "If I Can't Have You", "Spoonful", "All I Could Do Was Cry", "My Dearest Darling", "I Just Want to Make Love to You", "A Sunday Kind of Love", "Fool That I Am", "Don't Cry Baby", "Losers Weepers", "I Found A Love" etc. In 1961, Etta James released what was to become her signature song, "At Last".
Thanks - once again, Dagmar - you have provided me with extra info on an artist that I love - I appreciate that!
Please don't forget DOWN IN THE BASEMENT with Sugar Pie de Santo and her version of DOWN SO LOW.
RIP SWEET LADY
She was very young when she started recording and was so real. Thank you for showing her respect.
Nothing like Ms. Ella!! 💁🏻♀️”At Last” is probably her signature song, and it’s amazing!!
Spellcheck buddy this is Etta not Ella 😀😀
Love Etta james❤
There is a live version of this song that rivals Queen at Live Aid it's so good. Live at Montreux 1975. She is simply amazing.
Etta James is one of my all time favorite singers. She's definitely in my Top 10, and my List is long. I feel like I'm receiving a gift everytime I hear her sing. 😘💕
Just watched Cadillac Records last night,,, and Beyoncé’s rendition of this was moving especially within the context of what was happening in the movie. Great song, great movie, sad sequence
Ya'll need to watch the movie Cadillac Records. Don't really care for Beyonce but she did an awesome job portraying Etta James!
Etta didn’t care for her either. I don’t know if that was always her opinion, but it was definitely her opinion after Beyoncé was invited to perform Etta’s song for the Obama inauguration instead of Etta. Etta thought it disrespectful since she was still alive.
And the band is a bunch of white guys from the deep woods in Alabama. They were known as The Swampers and were chronicled in the Muscle Shoals documentary here at TH-cam.
Etta put her soul in this song
Etta you got this down pack,can,t nobody do this any better,R.I.P.
I used to listen to this song during my Chicano lowrider days in the 70s
Etta James was a treasure, she could break your heart with one verse, her songs are fantastic. ‘At Last’ is another Etta song you have to react to ! 💗☮️🎶😻
A True Icon Etta James...... also try Sister Rosetta Tharp
You absolutely have to watch her Live version. Live at Montreux 1975 it'll blow your Mind, also her version of Willow Weep For Me is just sublime.....
You have to see Beth and Joe like The last iconociast said. They take it to another level
She's a bombshell, best singer I ever did hear, can listen to her all day!
Beyonce played Etta in a movie that was made about Etta's life (which btw, was rather sad). Beyonce played her to a "T". This song, is absolutely 💯 amazing and I love it ❤
Cadillac records is the name of the movie ..good movie
It's Cadillac Records
Technically, it wasn't just about Etta James, but about one record producer who helped Blues become more mainstream.
That movie was called Cadillac records
You need to see this Lady sing live.
Etta is a Force to be reckoned with even today.
This song has been 'covered' more times than I can remember but Etta singing this song live is an EXPERIENCE!
You owe it to yourselves to watch & find out more about this amazing Woman & Artist, you'll understand what I'm trying to say once you watch her perform live.
TY for you'll reactions.
Wow!! Just saw this! Love.Love! Love! Etta. Saw her 3 times in concert. So many songs of hers!! 💕💕
Etta sings the songs that just hit your soul
She did this song live with Dr. John and it's FIRE!
One of the ALL TIME GREATEST SONGS. Once you hear it you'll know why she was singing about going blind
One of my favorite songs. I'm so glad you love it too. ETTA!
Awwww Etta!!!.. she touched so many hearts.. R.I.P ❤🌹....
Etta owned this song.
All of her tunes were so well done.looking to hear some live blues this year!
That’s why you here that’s heart and all these people even on the show is the voice and everything else singing her songs she never got the credit that was due to her I will never forget her as long as I live I’ve been watching her since I was 12 years old and I’m 76 going on 77 this June
i have been maried 45 years and i thinkyou two have what it takes to get there as well you two are awsome
There is a fantastic video of her singing this tune as a duet with Dr. John, on a BB King TV blues show.
Etta James ... Love her music for years ::: :: : Found her when I was 16, am 69 years somethig now
Her live performance of this song is fantastic
It's one of my favorites by Etta. What a voice and lady!!! RIP Etta!!! ❤❤❤
The Queen!
Etta was a giant of a Singer but was overlooked & not sure why! She is & always be Awesome!! I heard her songs growing up! She was phenomenal!,
Etta James: Feeling Uneasy
**** If your hearts can handle it****
GUARANTEED..... GUARANTEED....to Blow Your ENTIRE mind !!! ❤❤
Oh this song is soooooo smooth. don't get better than this. we had great music. many stories, to sing. T.
I love Etta James and her music. Everyone TRIES to cover her songs. I recently saw 13-year-old Angelina Jordan cover this song. She blew my mind away. 🤯
Etta James had one of the best voices of all time. Her voice hits you like a velvet meat cleaver.
Check out her song "Somethings got a hold on me " .....its a good one.
My first time hearing Etta was "Trust in Me" at a party in Chicago, I fell in love instantly and got her double CD hits. This was 1997.
I know all these songs from my mom and aunts. I don't know how people don't know their parents music . Maybe a lot of parents didn't listen to music back then . My parents used to dance around the house on Saturdays ,they went out to clubs, bingo, military bases had dances. My Dad made us laugh so hard. I Know from watching these videos he got his moves from Elvis. My older sister's music ,late 60s and 70s. My brother and I moved all the furniture out of the way to learn dances from American Band Stand ,right after that Soul Train. Saturday around our house was our favorite day. We had the mid morning ,my parents had the evening. I even know hip hop and rap because of my kids . I guess some people don't make music a priority. It's such an everyday gift it keeps you young at ❤️ heart , relieves stress. Just like dancing keeps you healthy and young. The memories that music keeps for you. Good times you'll always remember. Oh and Saturday cartoons we had the Jackson 5, The monkeys, Donny Osmond, The partridge family. I feel so blessed that I didn't miss any music. My grandpa played the organ, fiddle, guitar, harmonica. Church music and Bluegrass. My Dad played the guitar, harmonica, his music was Hank Williams, Charlie Pride ,Buck Owens, Glen Campbell, old country music
it's so worth it to watch her singing this song live
Y’all need to hear her live version of “Sugar On The Floor”! Ms Etta James Is Amazing!
I was waiting for her to raise her voice, and really blow your mind.
That's a perfect example of why many of us 40+ prefer listening to music from back in the day. Song from the 50s to the end of the 80s were filled with depth, poetry, creativity and emotion. Most songs these days lack many of those elements , in my opinion.
Love Etta!!! Gotta hear my favorite Etta song " Something' got a hold of me".
Enjoy your format very much, I grew up in the 50's, these songs bring back wonderful memories, once you begin listening to these songs it's hard to listen to anything else as each one has a story to tell. The Rat Pack was great Sammy Davis, Dean Martin, and Frank Sinatra. You may want to check out Johnny Mathis, Ray Charles, Connie Francis, The Platters, Paul Anka, Nat King Cole. God Bless you and your beautiful wife. Murph
And now you know where Tennessee Whiskey comes from.
Hey Guys, Beyonce played Etta James in the movie Cadillac Records. Great movie. Dec.18-2021
Her voice sends shivers in the soul. React to Etta James-misty blue
Now we're talking. Listen to At Last if you haven't already. BEST!
Love Etta James. Please check out the Playing for Change band doing this song. It's a fabulous cover.
I'm a 71 yr old white guy. I enjoy watching your reactions to music with heart and soul. It's still made but hard to find in pop or country today. Listen to Etta James "At Last"" which Obama had Bionce sing at his inauguration party. Etta had every right to feel jilted. She earned and commanded that song. It is both a love song and a song of overcoming segregation which she, not Bionce, was a part of.
I love listening to Etta James
There is a new vocalist from Indonesia. His name is Cakra Khan. You SHOULD react to Cakra Khan's cover of 'I'd Rather Go Blind' by Etta James.
Now, HERE is a rabbit hole for you👍 my fave😍
So smooth R@B because of music like this that you young people exist
I freaking love Etta James!
Y’all gotta see her do this LIVE! It’s a must,please- there is a live performance when she’s older- and she’s still so seriously passionate- her facial expressions and all- you just have to see it! She really works that stage and the crowd-💙👍✌️
Etta james just love her music ❤❤❤
nice to see new generations hearing the stuff i grew up with .....Etta James 'miss Peaches'. Still have her early yellow album
The live version of this with BB King is absolutely fantastic. I love me some Etta James. ♥
Etta was one of the GOAT!! You should see some of her live performances. She can put voice to heartache like few others! Love y'alls energy and how open you are to hearing new music.. Mel, love hearing your voice when you sing. And look Shawn looking like young Jay! Glad to be subscribed! Here's a version Etta did of this song in 1975, some 15 or 20 years after the original.

One of my all time favourite songs - Rod Stewart covered it well, but Etta James sung the definitive version. Etta was an amazing singer.
Etta Rocks!!✌💜🎧
Yes See Live Performances of This!

Absolutely add "At Last" to the playbook!
Fantastic voice. Super grit.

❤MISS ETTA!!!❤
Miss Etta James "At Last" ❤
You would love etta james' Sunday Kind of Love.
Etta had feeling and soul
Best version by Etta of I'd Rater be blind
Gotta watch Beth Hart & Joe Bonamasa perform this live in Amsterdam!
I also like the Beth version at the Kennedy center with Jeff Beck but it is much shorter than with Joe.
Etta James has alot of great songs
Love this!!!
Y’all need to hear some more of her! Tell Mama, Sunday Kind of Love, At Last, I Just Wanna Make Love To You… Ms. James is absolute fire!
Next reaction of Miss Etta James should be At Last
There are certain artists that were so influential that no in knows about or acknowledges anymore. She was one of those greats. Thank God my father had great taste in music whenI was a kid. I have lived Etta James since I was little. Thanks Pop for showing me the way.
Etta James: 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
The live version would leave you speechless
Comin' with the 🔥this morning! Love you guys❤
