      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.

    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!!

    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.

    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.

      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.

      ​@@paulflynn2481Trolling - (verb), as it relates to internet, is the deliberate act, (by a Troll - noun or adjective), of making random unsolicited and/or controversial comments on various internet forums with the intent to provoke an emotional knee jerk reaction from unsuspecting readers to engage in a fight or argument.
      The way I see it, I stated my case while providing relevant context and dates - that is not trolling. You could have simply said, "My bad", or, "I believe she did record at Sun Studio". However, you decided to attempt to belittle my response with passive aggressive insults. Seems to me you decided to come back after all. Maybe take a chill pill or have a nice cup of tea?

    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.
