They've heard Beth Hart's & Joe Bonamassa's cover of the song. Which more than did her & it justice. But I'd still love to hear them do Etta's original version.
Jay & Amber, you'll love her "At Last", "All I Could Do Was Cry" and "Trust in Me"!! edit- Ethel Waters was the first to sing this song live(1933 with Duke Ellington and His Orchestra). There are well over 200 covers of this song, including notables Lena Horne, Etta, Billie Holliday and Frank Sinatra.
I hadn't heard this version before but I like it. The one I'm familiar with is the one by the great Lena Horne from the the 1940's movie Stormy Weather. There was a version done by Ethel Waters and Billie Holliday. It is a blues/jazz classic.
@@jenniferkasowicz9463 Lena is great! Such a legend. I just listened to Billie Holliday's version that is really good too so different than Etta and Lena's version. It is interesting how each singer puts there own unique touch on a song and makes it their own.
As a metalhead since 1978(8yrs) there is no better music than the blues. Without the blues, there is no rock ‘n’ roll, there is no heavy metal. They owe it all to the blues. Etta James is one of the greatest. Nina Simone - Feeling Good is a great song you should listen to. Enjoyed the reaction.
Same here! And yes - Feeling Good is a song that even by mentioning its name gives me the goosbumps while I am typing this. Her version is the absolut perfection and - I think quite "Metal" in some way she interpretes it :)
Y'all might like Muse's version of "Feeling Good" That is the song that "introduced" me to Muse. Their best album is "Live At Rome Olympic Stadium"(my opinion). Very quickly, I have to switch to headphones so I don't hear from my neighbors🔊
Billie Holiday, "Lover Man" or "Lady Sings the Blues" can't be beat. Ella Fitzgerald forgetting the words to "Mack the Knife" is a classic. "You'd Be so Nice to Come Home to" (lots of beautiful versions, but Helen Merrill's version from The Cole Porter Songbook is smooth and jazzy.
Etta James is a beautiful voice. I wish you would listen to “One for my baby, One for the road.” Both her and Frank do a wonderful version of that saloon song.
You two should review the movie "Cadillac Records" which is the story of the studio ran by the Chess Brothers which gave us so many great Blues and R&B artists... including Etta James. One great reason to watch the movie is that Beyonce plays Etta and sings her hits in the movie with great reverence to James. Check it out!
I lived in the Chi at the time all that was happening. I had just moved there from Texas in 1964 ,I was 11. The first night in my new room I turned on the radio ( & I still remember the first blues song I had ever heard, " Mannish Boy " by John lee Hooker . In Texas where I moved from they had a little law down here called "Jim Crowe" which basically made anything non- white illegal,no shit. That was.the best show! Only Sundays midnite to six. That That made school on mondays very.sleepy.
Etta James shows what real vocal talent is and why autotune is the death knell of music. You cannot sing the blues and use autotune. As others have said here, Ella Fitzgerald, Billy Holiday are fabulous and you HAVE to check out Bessie Smith. Jay and Amber -keep safe and lots of love and hugs. Your brothers are sisters and thinking about you across the pond in the UK.
Etta James is one of those artist that could never sing a song the same way twice. Testament to her Jazz artistry. She is up there with the likes of Ella Fitzgerald. Powerful, emotional, sensitive and bluesy. All I can do is give the highest compliment I can give... She swings.
Such an amazing song. A truly great singer. I first heard Lena Horne do "Stormy Weather." I don't think you've reacted to "At Last." That song is synonymous with Etta James.. That definitely should be next up.
This is Lena Horne's signature song. She did it in the movie Stormy Weather from the '40s and then reprised it in her one woman show 40 years later with the comment that she now knew what the words REALLY meant.
I was blessed enough to seem Ms. James perform a few years before she passed. I live in Salt Lake and at our elevation and her age she wasn't going to do a 3 hour set, but the time she spent on stage was magical. Of the hundreds and hundreds of shows I've seen her show will always be one of my favorites.
Hey guys, you definitely need to react to “Guess Who I Saw Today” by Nancy Wilson. You both will enjoy the story she tells and how she tells it with a twist at the end. Enjoy!
Etta James actually made her name as one of the greatest GOSPEL singers of all time before she became this incredible blues/jazz/R&B artist. If I live to be 100, i will never comprehend why she didn't become a bigger star and have more hits. Just a phenomenal talent. You've probably already done a reaction to "At Last," as that's the song she's best known for (and for good reason). But there are some other good ones, including "A Sunday Kind of Love" and "Tell Mama."
I love how her range of voice can change. She can relax us to putting a spark under our ass! Damn she's great!!! RIP Etta ❤️ I was lucky to live close to her in Riverside. I passed her house several times before she passed away and I never knew it. This song made me smile 😊
I can remember hearing her voice for the first time back in the day and I was young, she blew me away that first time and the rest is history. So glad you’re reacting to this iconic singer!!!!
And now I'm thinking of Lena Horne, who I usually associate with this song. Hope you go back a little further back and find some Lena Horne, too. Love this version from Etta James, too.
Aloha! I saw Etta and BB King in 2002. She sang this classic. It was BB’s birthday, so Etta lead us all in singing Happy Birthday to BB. We took our kids (12 and 9) for their first concert. A special night.
Am so glad you all are okay. I always dread time of year, although it doesn't actually have to be just spring anymore. Love Etta James. I think you would love her "At Last", too.
Apparently, Ethel Waters was the first to sing and record this tune. Lena Horne sang it in the movie Stormy Weather and released a well received recording of it in 1943. Etta James came by her version of it a bit later in 1960. All are very good versions and noteworthy❤
Another icon of jazz, is "Sassy" Sarah Vaughan! Her voice was rich, full and truly an instrument that set her apart from the rest. Please take time to watch her performance of Misty, which was televised in black & white TV in the early 1960's while in Sweden. We're blessed to have that footage, which is a master class in jazz singing by one of the true legends.
Glad You Guys are OK! Mid-summer is 'Monsoon' time in Phoenix area. 15yrs or so ago, we were having 107F+/- day in Tempe Az, when a Monsoon Storm rolled in. We had HAIL during the storm & on ground! Don't recall hearing this song, but Beautiful, and I DO remember and love her biggest Hit 'At Last'. Great Reaction, Guys!
Sitting here on the upper Texas Gulf Coast under a tornado warning listening to Miss Etta singing "Stormy Weather"! How appropriate! I would like to suggest y'all playing Joe Bonamassa's rendition of the Leon Russell song "Hummingbird" from Live at the Greek Theatre DVD. It's about an 11:30 min recording but it's like going to "blues church". Sooo good! Please consider reviewing it... y'all won't be disappointed. Thanks! PS...I just discovered your TH-cam page & really enjoy it. My wife & I stayed up last night till about 5:00 am listening to several of your past reviews...keep up the good work!
This song debuted on stage at the Cotton Club, sung by Ethel Waters in 1933. She was the first to record it later that year. It's also been performed by by Frank Sinatra, Judy Garland, Ella Fitzgerald, Dinah Washington, Clodagh Rodgers, Reigning Sound, Lena Horne, Billie Holiday, The Spaniels and others. In the modern era, Lena Horne's version is probably the most well known version because she performed it when she co-starred with Cab Calloway and Bill "Bojangles" Robinson in the smash hit 1943 musical film by the same title. In terms of record sales, Leo Reisman's orchestra version was the most popular, with the original Ethel Waters record doing quite well also.
I looked to see if you've done "At Last" and I can't find it. If you've not yet it is MUST DO. That is a song that my husband and I had played at our wedding. One of the most quintessential love songs ever.
Etta James is my absolute favourite female jazz artist!!! She is just perfection on a plate!!!! I adore her and soooooo love this track. Etta's I'd Rather Go Blind is my all time fave song of all time by any artist!!!! My goodness she is sooooooooooooooooooo good!!! Love her!!! At Last is also one of her gems!!! Every day... all day.. Etta is a good choice!!!! hahaha 🥰😍🤩
She has an absolutely beautiful voice! She has so much raw emotion. I feel so much pain and beauty in her singing. Thank you guys for what you do. Without your help (channel) I may never have heard of Ms. James or Ms. Beth Hart. Both of whose versions of " I'd Rather Go Blind" are brilliant. Much love and respect.
Lena Horne also used to sing this song, and in my opinion--better. On an episode of Sanford and Son, Lena sang this to Fred when they were alone. People didn't believe that Fred met Lena, and that he just made it up because of his crush on her. Fred said he didn't make it up and, "Don't you mess with the Horne".
Etta puts her spin on this classic song and does a beautiful job. This, however, is Leona Horne's song. You must hear her rendition. It comes from the movie "Stormy Weather", the same movie that "Jumpin' Jive by Cab Calloway with the Nicholas Bros. There will be video of Leona singing Stormy Weather. It's her most famous song.
Hey guys! First I’m so glad you’re all safe. This song always makes me think of my mama. She was shy about singing because she had a natural alto voice but I remember her singing this when I was a little kid, with a lot of soul. When I used to sing all the time I had a decent range contralto/alto- 2nd & 1st soprano. My kids heard me singing this just about every time I did dishes for some reason. Etta was a treasure. Thanks for sharing 😊
Etta is a treasure; so amazing. I will never be able to really hear Stormy Weather without it being the fabulous Miss Lena Horne, though (I recommend a great movie, The Cotton Club to you both! It has amazing numbers in it and it is a very cool movie - Lonette McKee sings Ill Wind that is sort of a Stormy Weather adjacent).
Etta James, has been for decades, hands down, my favorite artist. Please check out one of her duets, I just want to make love to you. Thank you both for always taking me back to sweet memories. ❤
Lot of people are mentioning Lena Horne who sang this song in the movie called Stormy Weather which also featured Cab Calloway and the Nicholas Brothers doing Jumping Jive. Lena was a frequent guest on the Dean Martin Variety Show in the sixties where she would sing a song then Dean would come on stage and join her for a duet. Check out the two of them singing The Two Of Us.
First of all I'm glad that you and your family are okay. Thanks for reacting to Miss Etta James again I love everything by this legendary icon. Continue to R.I.P Miss Etta James. ❤
Etta James ~ The Sweetest Peaches (Part One (1940-1966)) album - release 1990 ~ my first purchased cassette/CD - is must buy for a Sunday afternoon. Canadian Pianist and jazz vocalist ~ Diana Krall ~ Canadian Singer ~ Joni Mitchell has a version of "Stormy Weather" as well
My favorite Etta song is "Come to Mama". Then jump to the late 80's with any song off of her album "Seven Year Itch" but especially "One Night" and "Damn Your Eyes", or "Breakin' up Somebody's Home". That entire album is killer
We’re currently rewatching “Agent Carter” and being reminded of the truly great music that came out of the first half of the 20th century. Glad to know that it will continue to be appreciated for many years to come. ❤
Yes, I'm an old man, but I really miss slower but more soulful music from vocalists like Etta James. Some songs are permanent classics. "Stormy Weather" is one of those songs.
It just doesn't get any better than "At Last" by Etta James." I'd rather go blind" is so soul full you shouldn't miss it.
All I could do was cry is amazing as well
I'd Rather Go Blind brings me to tears every time. Etta, the ultimate in soul imo
And if you're going to do her version of I'd Rather Go Blind, you really need to react to her live version at Montreaux!! It will floor you!
They've heard Beth Hart's & Joe Bonamassa's cover of the song. Which more than did her & it justice. But I'd still love to hear them do Etta's original version.
You really need to hear "At Last."
Jay & Amber, you'll love her "At Last", "All I Could Do Was Cry" and "Trust in Me"!!
edit- Ethel Waters was the first to sing this song live(1933 with Duke Ellington and His Orchestra).
There are well over 200 covers of this song, including notables Lena Horne, Etta, Billie Holliday and Frank Sinatra.
Billie Holiday's version is my fave!
At Last is one of my absolute favorite songs
Another bote for At Last
Lena Horne's version was my mother's favorite, and by extention, mine. You cannot listen to a bad version of this song though. It is that good.
I hadn't heard this version before but I like it. The one I'm familiar with is the one by the great Lena Horne from the the 1940's movie Stormy Weather. There was a version done by Ethel Waters and Billie Holliday. It is a blues/jazz classic.
I was going to recommend Lena's version. I think they will fall in love with her voice.
@@michlkwitz Give me Lean Horne's version every time.
Another fan of Lena's here.
All love to Etta but Lena’s version is better, IMO. Lena hits the low range notes so powerfully and sadly.
@@jenniferkasowicz9463 Lena is great! Such a legend. I just listened to Billie Holliday's version that is really good too so different than Etta and Lena's version. It is interesting how each singer puts there own unique touch on a song and makes it their own.

Love love Etta James with her bluesy sound! “ Tell Mama!” is one of my favorites! It has a get down and boogie sound Play it check it out!
Beyoncé did a really good job. It wasn’t as good as Etta, of course, but there ain’t NObody as good as Etta.

She is FABULOUS!(& not hard to look at at all!)That is pretty unknown to be sogreat!
I have all of her music. My parents loved her. Her voice just makes you feel good all over. I’m so glad you’re safe.
Wow, I heard her today and was going to put her name here.
That’s pretty weird.
Her song “At Last” is my absolute favorite!
Beautiful voice
Beautiful jazz phrasing
Beautiful words❤
She was incredible! Good reaction and I'm glad to hear you weathered storms okay!
Amen!

FINALLY!!!!!😍😍😍 YOU MUST HEAR ETTA JAMES DOING "TELL MAMA" WHICH JANIS JOPLIN COVERED.❤❤❤❤
You should really do Lena Horne’s rendition of Stormy Weather
This.
You guys MUST do Etta James At Last!! It's one of the greatest wedding songs of all time!! You guys will be blown away!!
The one and only Etta. She always puts her own spin on a song. Thank you Etta.
This is Lena Horne's signature song. She did it in the movie Stormy Weather from the '40s and then reprised it in her one woman show 40 years later with the comment that she now knew what the words REALLY meant.

Of the hundreds and hundreds of shows I've seen her show will always be one of my favorites.
I saw her perform around the same. Still so naughty and sexy. The audience hung on her every word and note she sang. Now that was a performer, a star.
This is by far my favorite version of this song.
Her voice is timeless!!! 🥰
I love her song -Tell Mama.
I love, love, miss Etta James
I named my business after "At Last". She lifts my soul.
Hey guys, you definitely need to react to “Guess Who I Saw Today” by Nancy Wilson. You both will enjoy the story she tells and how she tells it with a twist at the end. Enjoy!

Please listen to Sam Ryder singing Tiny Riot from the 🇬🇧 UK
Etta James one incredible lady love her signature song at last
Love you both, So glad you are all safe and prayers for you all.
Now you're cooking with the Blues. Etta had such a rich personal voice. In the Big Band era, she could make you feel the music.
Sheeesh, she was special. ❤🎶🎼

The vocal fry she strategically injects in this smokey moody song. OH Ms ETTA!!!
Once you hear her voice
It'll betcha.....one of the greatest....

I love the Lena Horn version of this song from the movie Stormy Weather, but I also love Etta James' soulful version.
“Stormy Weather” by the incomparable Lena Horne is the version you need to hear. The original version was done by Ethel Waters in 1933.
I live in North west Missouri and it was crazy here also. The lightening was made itself known here. I wish I could've taken pic. I just love Etta.
She was one of the best and "At Last" is one of the best love songs.
Glad you're safe. Etta James might have the most beautiful voice of all time.
Hey guys! First I’m so glad you’re all safe. This song always makes me think of my mama. She was shy about singing because she had a natural alto voice but I remember her singing this when I was a little kid, with a lot of soul. When I used to sing all the time I had a decent range contralto/alto- 2nd & 1st soprano. My kids heard me singing this just about every time I did dishes for some reason. Etta was a treasure. Thanks for sharing 😊
Ya'll have never reacted to" AT LAST" by Etta James .This is a classic !! please. Love Etta James thank you. So glad Ya'll are safe1
❤ love to see some etta james on here,please do more of her...
Etta James is Aretha Franklin level Music Goddess. You FEEL Her Music, her voice.
just watch Amber. Transcendent
Wow!! made me smile, Again.
Etta is a treasure; so amazing. I will never be able to really hear Stormy Weather without it being the fabulous Miss Lena Horne, though (I recommend a great movie, The Cotton Club to you both! It has amazing numbers in it and it is a very cool movie - Lonette McKee sings Ill Wind that is sort of a Stormy Weather adjacent).
Baby What You Want Me to Do - classic, rocking Etta. "Mama cooked a chicken - thought it was a duck" 😂❤✌️.
Chicago Joe here... I have said it before on your last Etta James reaction...You have to see "Cadillac Records" Beyoncé plays Etta.😜🤪😝
I love her cover of Prince's "Purple Rain".
Etta James, has been for decades, hands down, my favorite artist. Please check out one of her duets, I just want to make love to you. Thank you both for always taking me back to sweet memories. ❤
fortunate enough to have seen 'Black and Blue' on Broadway. The ladies sang the blues and a young sauvignon glover led the hoofers.
Love,love,love Etta. ❤❤❤❤
HER VOICE…and also the string’s background!!
Always been a rock kind of guy, but you gotta respect this era of singing where voices were strong, powerful and genuine.

I played this in my high school jazz ensemble and we had a friend 9f mine serve as the singer.
The Etta James tune I hear most often on SiriusXM 50s gold is The Wallflower (Roll With Me Henry). 🤩😍
So glad you two are safe and sound. Keep taking care of those babies. We will pray for the people in Cole OK. 🙏🙏🙏❤
First of all I'm glad that you and your family are okay. Thanks for reacting to Miss Etta James again I love everything by this legendary icon. Continue to R.I.P Miss Etta James. ❤
Amazing lady...Amazing voice.
Glad you guys are all OK. Prayers. Now cool out with Etta James!! Thanks.
Diana Krall's Peel Me A Grape .. is soooooo smooth.. maybe that's what drew Elvis Costello to her.. as they are now married!!! 😁😄🥰
Oh boy! I love ❤️ Etta James!
This is a classic song. My mother used to play a boogie woogie version of it on the piano.
I did worry about your family in all the weather. Glade to hear you status. My God continually bless your family.
Etta James ~ The Sweetest Peaches (Part One (1940-1966)) album - release 1990 ~ my first purchased cassette/CD - is must buy for a Sunday afternoon.
Canadian Pianist and jazz vocalist ~ Diana Krall ~
Canadian Singer ~ Joni Mitchell has a version of "Stormy Weather" as well
Love her! A voice like honeyed butter
Perfect.
glad to see ya tfs god bless
My favorite Etta song is "Come to Mama". Then jump to the late 80's with any song off of her album "Seven Year Itch" but especially "One Night" and "Damn Your Eyes", or "Breakin' up Somebody's Home". That entire album is killer
We’re currently rewatching “Agent Carter” and being reminded of the truly great music that came out of the first half of the 20th century. Glad to know that it will continue to be appreciated for many years to come. ❤
So glad you and your family are ok.🙏🏻🙏🏻
Whenever I’m “celebrating” a hurricane, or nor’easter on the weather warnings… I play Dr. John “Blow, Wind, Blow”
You two need to react to her singing "At Last". It will give you goosebumps!!!
Etta was such a powerhouse.
Yes, I'm an old man, but I really miss slower but more soulful music from vocalists like Etta James. Some songs are permanent classics. "Stormy Weather" is one of those songs.
Pretenders - Brass in Pocket, another amazing female lead singer in an awesome band.
Adele has said many times that Etta James is her favourite singer and a inspiration for her.
Love me some Mizz Etta James. At Last is another great song.
Now, you got it!! No one better than Etta.
