This song was getting played inside a car in Taiwan while the 7.4 earthquake hit Taiwan...crazy...Taiwan folks listen to this music...I've never heard this song before until Fox News showed earthquake footage and I Googled the background music coming from inside the car at the earthquake scene....I love Motown!!
The Taiwanese Boulders brought me here as well 😅 I thought the happy upbeat music while the apocalypse is unfolding around you was just a movie cliche, but apparently Hollywood was right on the money.
My dad is a hardcore rock and roll from the 60s. And he was smart enough to turn me on to her back in the mid-seventies when I was growing up. He he was smart enough to appreciate the good blues when he heard it thank God.
Cameron - TheSinger the remarkable thing is how she can switch back and forth between the nastiest rasp and sweet, clean notes at will. Then throw in some delightful scat...
I love her platinum, leopard print, & cat eyes- it’s so 60’s! She’s gorgeously belting her blessin’- HAaLllāUuujAh! From super velvet soft to praising Jesus in a church- she’s got control of her volume for sure!
and playing in her thick knit cardigan as a natural asset - so much in contrast to today' artists who basically perform in sequinned cutouts to add ..missing sparkle to their performances? she's a natural..
She said look y’all, ‘I’m gonna put on my Sunday best wig, throw on my Thursday night bingo sweater, make sure this eyeliner is on point, and we going to go do this here concert now y’all hear me’. Etta didn’t play 👏🏾🤣
Her sound comes from the black church, that's what I heard as a young boy when my moma made me take my brothers and sisters to church in the Filmore district where I grew up
It's crazy how she can sing in a live performance sounding exactly the way she sounds on her recorded songs, that's true talent unlike a lot of singers nowadays that sound nothing like their recordings when they give live performances. A lot of true talent back in the 50's, 60's and 70's.
That's because, back in their days, they almost, if not identical, sound the same live and in recording because they were not using autotunes. They had real talents
Tons of people have heard the intro to this song sampled by Pretty Lights, Avicii, and Flo Rida, many probably just dont know who it was they were hearing but the art living on is more important than the recognition anyway.
Hell she just screams and makes noises throughout most of the song... -_- At last. Now THAT song shows her vocals. I love Etta but this song was trash.
I’ve never heard the live version until now. My goodness. True talent and not like today where people are afraid to be themselves. This is passion. Whatever came naturally, she did.
imagine being the guy in the Sun records studio and recording her for the first time. Having no idea of what to expect and then getting your face blown off from that thunderous and passionate sound! Some singers simply set the standard.
I do not know where you found this information. However, Etta James did not records at Sun Studio, she was discovered by Johnny Otis and her first recording "Good Rockin' Daddy" was issued via a California label, Modern Records, in 1955 before eventually signing to Chess in 1960.

Greatest voice of all time. No one else comes close. Effortless ability. Smooth to Guttural. High to Low. Fast to Slow. Loud to Hushed. Raspy to Mellow. She convinces me that she’s singing to only me like no other singer ever has. She only had to open her mouth and the restless angel inside her did the rest.Thank you Etta for sharing yourself with the world! Nothing brings a smile to my face like Etta James.
She's also one of the Black singers Janice Joplin blatantly STOLE from - like so many white singers/musicians in the 50-70s did. Never giving the Black folks they stole from and tried hard to imitate...
Now I know why Christina Aguilera loves Etta James so much! She even sang At Last at her funeral. I can actually hear a lot of Etta in Christina’s voice.
Lol people dislike videos all the time. Just recently I had a guy saying he has a compulsive urge of having to give a thumbs down even tho he likes what he is watching 🤷🏻♀️
@@unclebob2792 My comment was not about competition; I was stating a historical fact. Etta James was the 1st person given the title of "Queen of Soul' - deal with it. It is very clear to hear that Aretha Franklin took a bit from the Etta James playbook.
You know after going through a lot of the comments, I felt the need to add my 2 cents. For anyone making unsavory comments about the great Etta James, I honestly feel sorry for you that the Lord hasnt blessed you with the capability to enjoy great music. So here's my prediction. 50 years from today (and that's 2021 by the way), Etta James, Aretha Franklin, Patti Labelle, Gladys Knight etc will all be remembered, honored and cherished. How many names from today's generation will survive the test of time. I dont know. Unlike a lot of people, Etta James could simply walk onto a stage, start singing and blow the audience away without a second of preparation. One of a kind. Diva and goddess. We love you and will always cherish you.
I'm an big Avicii fan since 2017... he brought me here (Levels, the greatest since ............ )... , of course I knew the original song, BUT I still didnt realise the magnitude of this song, until I watched/lisened to this video: Thankyou so much for sharing!
Shut the back door...!!! this is sugar for the soul.... 😍 everyone should listen to this track in the morning to get one's self bossing the day..AND I MEAN EVERYONE...
Now that’s a voice that stirs passions. Simultaneously brimming with the sincere rebellion of youth and musicality; by itself a cultural monument at the dawn of rock music and R&B. Amun!
Etta Covers All the Voice Range, Ranges. But more importantly her abilities to have control over these Range and Ranges. That in itself is a Rare Special Gifted Talent. There are only Very Small Handful of Special Females Singer who Possess these Special Qualities that can’t be compared to!!!
lmao, your just so wrong that I am in disbelief that you actually think that. Your clearly just trying to be racist because no one can be that wrong and still be able to spell properly lol
Imagine that shit. We'll have to tell our grandchildren that we people of African descent started rap/hip hop along with blues/soul and rock n roll 2 b/c they'll steal that 2. She....she joking....she must have tripped and fall and all her info is f*ck up. she must be joking.
I sure do miss the 70s and 80s. The music today is not even the same. Sometimes I wish I could find a time machine and go back in time. Life was much easier and everyone enjoyed life! Is this your favorite song ?
SWEET LORD! Why have I missed you all my life, Ella?!! I mean I knew "At Last" like everyone.. but DAMN! So glad I heard her on the radio today.. I'm in love with her voice.. Speaks to my soul.
yeah absolutely I’ve been married for 32years I was 24 and she was 20. She got cancer in 2020 I was totally lost without her. She took a major hit the treatment was horrible for her. I could do nothing to change any thing so I felt helpless I miss her everyday. Mothers are the glue that holds everyone together..seeing this makes me miss her even more I come to this page all the time just to have that nostalgia
OMG forgive me for saying this but this women will eat every single singer alive with that kind of performance,, encroyable!!! perfect in many reasons..
Beyonce's performance was a good copy of an incomparable original. Cadillac Records is a good film but it could have been so much better. The guy that played Howlin' Wolf absolutely nailed it, and good on the director for casting actors who could do their own singing. But having said that, the film is way too glossy and the performance scenes ring false. They look exactly like the contrived Hollywood dance scenes that they are. He would have been better off to shoot the crowd reacting naturally to the actual live performance.
I heard Etta was very upset with the movie as she felt it painted her as a junkie who was in love with Chess. That movie is BS....poor woman took her whole family to the premiere and got up and left
I think it was less of an attention issue as it was a RESPECT issue. Etta James was still alive and should have been asked to sing HER song. She was right to be upset. In that way? Well, she's Etta. She's earned her right on this earth to be as sassy as she was
Ariana C. you're right, you sometimes get chosen because of whom you're fucking and who's behind you. Beyonce got chosen not because she was a better diner than Etta on an iconic song, but because of whom she knee in the business. Same thing she did to Ledisi at the Grammys. I like Beyonce and all but it's the truth
I have nothing but love, respect and admiration for women like Etta James & Tina Turner. These 2 women were Great examples of alternative black women. I mean... Alternative black women have been around since the beginning of time but I'm just saying... Blues, Rock N Roll, Rock etc. Are many genres heard in this woman's voice and performance. Thank you Etta James & Tina Turner for showing me to be brutally truthful about being unapologetically black.
She wears the exact perfect makeup 💄 trending now omg 😲 she’s so beautiful 😍 & that voice 😃😍😍😍 she cuts through my soul & at the same time she cures me bravo 👏🏽
Personalidade musical única. Ta raro hoje em dia... Me fez lembrar a Elis Regina (brasileira), não em timbre, mas em personalidade musical única. Americanos, pesquisem Elis Regina. Certeza que vão amar❤❤❤
This song was getting played inside a car in Taiwan while the 7.4 earthquake hit Taiwan...crazy...Taiwan folks listen to this music...I've never heard this song before until Fox News showed earthquake footage and I Googled the background music coming from inside the car at the earthquake scene....I love Motown!!
Indeed
The original voice of songs: Good Feeling - Flo Rida and Levels - Avicii.
The same video brought me here again haha
That IS crazy!
The Taiwanese Boulders brought me here as well 😅 I thought the happy upbeat music while the apocalypse is unfolding around you was just a movie cliche, but apparently Hollywood was right on the money.
Same!
Etta James has a voice that you can actually feel throughout your body when she sings.
Amen 😎
Kinda like any other voice because we can hear it
Yessss
My dad is a hardcore rock and roll from the 60s. And he was smart enough to turn me on to her back in the mid-seventies when I was growing up. He he was smart enough to appreciate the good blues when he heard it thank God.
Dwayne k27ism lmao devaluing a woman’s power is so 1997
No lip sync. No autotune. Natural talent.
Yes!❤
She is incredible❤️
She is WAY OUT THERE. Makes Ya' wanna get up and dance.
Practice. Years and years and years of practice. Natural talent does not substitute for actual mastery.
She's a legend. i love her voice.
I love the rasp in her voice. The grunts she makes when she sings. She has a soulful voice.
Wowwwwwwww❤❤❤❤❤❤
Can't she do it!!
the things we lost with all the "makeup" that is put on voices now in day
And she can also be very sensual.
Etta James was Janis Joplin's idol and for good reason - there has never been any other female singer like her!
Certainly Etta inspired Janice but each had also there own unique style.
YAS. Janis has had a lot of inspiration from Etta. Those two made history. Legends
Janis dreamed of being this good
Otis Redding too
Etta's feelings were so hurt when the Obama's chose Beyonce to sing At Last instead of her. That is her signature song.
she looks so cute here with her little lips and little abuela sweater and the eyeliner and the wig. sooo cuuuute
abuela = nanna/grandmother/grandma
....
ppl who doesn't know spanish no :)
they had style back then. Check out Esther Phillips on the same show.
That's Myra Hindley's wig. Not so cute after all. Let's just enjoy the music.
I seriously doubt that Etta James in her entire career ever heard of Myra Hindley, or anyone who heard of her
That rasp in her voice gives me chills to this day!!
YES GAWD!!!
Cameron - TheSinger the remarkable thing is how she can switch back and forth between the nastiest rasp and sweet, clean notes at will. Then throw in some delightful scat...
Me too! 🎶♥️
I still get goosebumps and the hair on my arms stand up when I listen to her. This bitch can sing. I love her !!!!
So many think Janis had a unique voice, but once I heard Etta Rocks the House, I knew what Janis had been listening to.
I love her platinum, leopard print, & cat eyes- it’s so 60’s! She’s gorgeously belting her blessin’- HAaLllāUuujAh! From super velvet soft to praising Jesus in a church- she’s got control of her volume for sure!
and playing in her thick knit cardigan as a natural asset - so much in contrast to today' artists who basically perform in sequinned cutouts to add ..missing sparkle to their performances? she's a natural..
those cat eyes and brows have come back in style, amy winehouse had the same cat eyes, and those brows are everywhere today.....
Ain’t no leopard print anywhere on this screen 😐
Она суперсексуальная
Yesss🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
She said look y’all, ‘I’m gonna put on my Sunday best wig, throw on my Thursday night bingo sweater, make sure this eyeliner is on point, and we going to go do this here concert now y’all hear me’. Etta didn’t play 👏🏾🤣
“Thursday night bingo sweater”😂😭😂I am crying laughing!! That’s exactly what it looks like
Love it
Damn right!
🤣🤣🤣
chuckles :D
They. Do. Not. Make. Them. Like. This. Anymore. No one sounds like this today.
Actually.... go check Post Modern Jukebox. And... Speakeasys swing band. There is good stuff out there still.
😍
Beth Hart is somethin' else! Check her out - you'll love her just as much.
Her sound comes from the black church, that's what I heard as a young boy when my moma made me take my brothers and sisters to church in the Filmore district where I grew up
Singers today are more worried about being too cutesy n throat sing then singing from the gut n being powerful/soulful
It's crazy how she can sing in a live performance sounding exactly the way she sounds on her recorded songs, that's true talent unlike a lot of singers nowadays that sound nothing like their recordings when they give live performances. A lot of true talent back in the 50's, 60's and 70's.
it's all about the auto tunes these days
she sounds so much better live
I mean lots of people sound the same but they use auto tune anyways
SOOOO TRRUE
That's because, back in their days, they almost, if not identical, sound the same live and in recording because they were not using autotunes. They had real talents
she's the only artist who can go on stage in a cardigan and nobody fails
She paved the way for Kurt Cobaine.
@@sanpatricio9490 Only a chosen few can carry on the cardi.
She was really good, love listening to all her songs till date
And her lyrics are timeless
What do you admire most snout her?😊
now we all know where Janis Joplin got her sound.
Yes. Track marks. Billie's gloves didn't fit.🎉
This queen is horrendously unknown by so many today.
Really? That is ridiculous and sad... 😪
Yes she is but I still love her and he's songs.. ETTA GO!
DEM PIPES OH MY😍😍😍
Tons of people have heard the intro to this song sampled by Pretty Lights, Avicii, and Flo Rida, many probably just dont know who it was they were hearing but the art living on is more important than the recognition anyway.
She still here with US☺😘
I love when she sings this, her vocals are amazing.
Hell she just screams and makes noises throughout most of the song... -_- At last. Now THAT song shows her vocals. I love Etta but this song was trash.
+Joseph Miranda nigga you gotta know good shit,and it ain't come easy its either you got the class or no,its congenital
great entertainment for all....
Shelia Vington sure has alove,he is my 14 year old son,and I am sure it is love I love that song.
I love You
What most people call the Amy Winehouse winged eyeliner is actually Etta's own.loll..i love them both..😍
Me too and I miss them so much ❤️
My mom called winged eyeliner a ronette. I think it's a signature eye of the era, not just Etta's.
Kerizma Rolle no stop mispreading information. It’s from another black/biracial group called the Ronettes , that’s who Amy was inspired by.
Amy Winehouse's entire look was based on The Ronnette's 1963 look
I started doing that dramatic eyeliner because of those 2 queens 🖤🖤
It’s 2023. Etta James -you’re still the best. ❤️
That's one heck of a cardigan
Ha, ha, I'm glad someone else noticed it!
DanDoolittle lmao
her eyeliner is everything ❤
I’ve never heard the live version until now. My goodness. True talent and not like today where people are afraid to be themselves. This is passion. Whatever came naturally, she did.
It's like she was getting a chance at liberation and committed to herself and the delivery with conviction.
Imagine her and Janice doing a duet.
Me either and I bought this song on iTunes 🤷🏽♀️😂
Phenomenal 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Exactly
I pray that this song echos throughout my life and reminds me of my purpose
imagine being the guy in the Sun records studio and recording her for the first time. Having no idea of what to expect and then getting your face blown off from that thunderous and passionate sound! Some singers simply set the standard.

YEP! St. Van, Archangel Pete, and Eternal Cosmic Queen Etta!
There is no such a, thing like a gift of good. Talent is by genetics
What does God have to do with it.your talking fiction she is fact!

You don't listen to Etta, you FEEL her sing

This songs great on many levels.
I see what you did there
ive got a good feeling about it ;)
hahahha yeah me too xD

How are you doing today pierce?
That’s what you call God Gifted, what an amazing voice! LEGEND!!!
God gifted all right ❤❤❤❤❤
I don’t know how anybody can thumbs down this. Etta is in prime form. If you thumbs down this performance, than you just don’t know!
persiablu exactly 💯facts. One of the best to ever do it.
Not everyone’s flavor. 🤷🏽♀️
I’m not particularly impressed.
Being Me Facts everyone can not appreciate talent.
Probably TH-cam "vocal experts" who'd say "that's not singing it's screaming", or another name for them is ignorant pathetic losers.
Lol people dislike videos all the time. Just recently I had a guy saying he has a compulsive urge of having to give a thumbs down even tho he likes what he is watching

Since we all never wondered where James Brown got his grove from…here’s the answer!!!!!! ❤🎉 the ultimate Queen of soul!
One of the great vocalists of the 20th century (and songwriters!)
I agree
The original “Queen of Soul.” (Yes, she had the title first.) Etta James is Christina Aguilera’s favorite singer. 🎤
"Patriarch/Mother of Blues", maybe not Queen of Soul that title belongs to Aretha Franklin.
They're just titles, names, words. Both can be Queens of Soul in their own right.
Etta being Christina favorite singer make's totally sense since her way of singing is very similar. Didn't know that
Christina Aguilera sang at her funeral! RIP Etta!!🌷🌼

Lol!
Your comment, sista, it was FUCKING HILARIOUS. I'm not okay now🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Straight from her soul. ❤
She looks so small and gentle. I wasnt expecting the voice
She gives me goosebumps every time. What i would give to sit in an audience and watch her. Jesus, I'd give my legs ❤
Legend has it that she could sing loud enough without a mic and still be audible enough to fill up a school hall.
Love Etta forever and ever and I will pass it further:)
Etta sang with a lot of conviction. She inspires us singers today.
How are you doing today Nielsen ?
I sure do miss the 70s and 80s. The music today is not even the same. Sometimes I wish I could find a time machine and go back in time. Life was much easier and everyone enjoyed life! Is this your favorite song ?

But having said that, the film is way too glossy and the performance scenes ring false. They look exactly like the contrived Hollywood dance scenes that they are. He would have been better off to shoot the crowd reacting naturally to the actual live performance.
I heard Etta was very upset with the movie as she felt it painted her as a junkie who was in love with Chess. That movie is BS....poor woman took her whole family to the premiere and got up and left
I think it was less of an attention issue as it was a RESPECT issue. Etta James was still alive and should have been asked to sing HER song. She was right to be upset. In that way? Well, she's Etta. She's earned her right on this earth to be as sassy as she was
Ariana C. you're right, you sometimes get chosen because of whom you're fucking and who's behind you. Beyonce got chosen not because she was a better diner than Etta on an iconic song, but because of whom she knee in the business. Same thing she did to Ledisi at the Grammys. I like Beyonce and all but it's the truth
She was simply amazing.
I have nothing but love, respect and admiration for women like Etta James & Tina Turner. These 2 women were Great examples of alternative black women. I mean... Alternative black women have been around since the beginning of time but I'm just saying... Blues, Rock N Roll, Rock etc. Are many genres heard in this woman's voice and performance.
Thank you Etta James & Tina Turner for showing me to be brutally truthful about being unapologetically black.
Amazingly talented! She was such an original! She had such passion in her music!
Another Queen of the Blues,Miss Etta James 🎸🎸🎹🥁
