Please watch her sing At Last
I second this!!!
agreed
Absolutely 👍
Please Please Please 🙏 She is soooo classic and imo one of the greatest singers to walk this earth 🌎
Blow your doors off. Totally agree.
Nina Simone is another GREAT singer of that Era.
Love that you are opening up the genres.
Feeling Good is one of my all time favorites
Yes yes yes!
@@carladicarlo3255 Hard same
Nina jumped in my top 5 female talents The first time i saw her do Miss. Goddam live. We need more people like her today
NINA IS A MUST...
This woman was my inspiration through so many years. Yes I’m an old old. Great grandma. But there’s never been anyone like Etta James.
Ella's Fitzgerald was another unsung legend.
Truth! I was born in 79 so I got lucky enough to enjoy some of the real soul before it disappeared ❤
They don’t make songs like this anymore. And everything about her voice was natural. Pure.
It's amazing how young people think their parents' music is trash & they'd never listen to older artists. This performance is proof that's not true. This performance is nearly 50 years old & it still hits like a brick in the face. There's a reason singers like Etta James, Nina Simone, Aretha Franklin, James Brown, Sam Cooke, Otis Redding, etc. became legendary icons.
This was a master class performance ... not only Etta's vocal performance, but the way the band worked with her. These were some of the best musicians in the world.
A real masterpiece.
Beth Hart accompanied by Joe Bonamassa does this song justice. Amazing.
Etta James could sing anything she damn well pleased. She is considered one of the great voices of the 20th century. She's best known for the song "At Last" that's used at a lot of wedding receptions. "A Sunday Kind of Love' is another classic. She's inspired many singers who came later, like Christina Aguilera, Beth Hart, Janis Joplin,. Beyonce played her in the movie Cadillac Records.
At last--- by Etta James, another of her powerful songs
Back when there was actual talent . Etta is superb absolutely legendary ..
Etta is such a stage presence, can you imagine being in that room. Another of her greats is "At Last".Perfection!!!
So happy you’re branching out like this. Etta James was truly one of the greatest jazz vocalists of all time ❤
At last. Etta's blues are on a different level! 🙏🏼
G0TTA DO "AT LAST" Love this reaction!!!!!!.....Peace out!!! HUGZZZZ
A glass in this context is a mirror, an old-time term - as in “looking-glass”. She holds it close and sees the reflection of the tears rolling down her face.
Good call. When she said she puts it to her lips it made me think of a glass of wine and seeing your reflection while drinking the pain away. Hauntingly beautiful lyrics.
Great songwriting. So sad. She’s holding the mirror to her face in a kind of despair, tormenting herself with a close-up view of the lips her man isn’t there to kiss anymore.
Beth Hart did this song live in Germany. Awesome. Beth's live performance of 'Am I the One' will blow you away.
She was given co writing credits for this song. Should check Joe Bonamassa and Beth Hart live from Amsterdam version of this song. In my opinion the next best thing to Etta.
Yes please watch her sing At Last 👏👏👏❤
A voice like hers only comes along rarely ❤🎉
The one and only miss Etta James........she was working that room......Her bog song is "At Last". A few years ago a movie wss made about her life and Beyonce played her..
I think the movie was Cadillac records.
Now that’s some saaanging. You feel her in your soul, and other places😜😜😜. My kinda music. Now everyone go have a great day ❤️❤️❤️👵🏼 Gmaw
Yes, please reaction to "At Last"! One of the best songs ever written, and the best version ever.
She's great! I love her! She's a legend!
A superstar. I appreciate her more every time I see her. THIS is a singer.
If only songwriters today told beautiful stories like this. Many writers today cut corners, add 10 curse words and few b's and p's, and believe they have a hit. Far from it. Her soul is precious. When she sings you feel every word. She could sing this accapella and will still bring you to tears
Etta is a definite legend love her even wt her struggles she still was so fkin great. R.I.P. beautiful 🙏😇 she had a bad addiction but she always blew all of us away. Powerful ❤❤❤ my generation 🎤💥💥
Wow, thank you for covering this song. That’s a great friend who recommended this to you. Good LORD! lol. Such a beautiful song.
This is one of the most heartbreaking but beautiful song ever. Etta owns this. Beyoncé played her in Cadillac records and her performance of this was also amazing.
My favorite movie
It is heartbreaking, but that's why it's called the blues, Darlin'. Etta is a classic talent, such a gifted singer.
Oh, the beauty of this woman's soul!
I've never heard of this song or her. But I damn sure happy I have now! Thank you Cliff.
She was an alcoholic and drug addict for most of her life and you can hear the pain in her voice. One of the greatest singers to ever live. Her stuff goes way back. You got a lot of listening to do. Beyoncé did an awesome job playing her when she was young and Chess Records was getting started in the movie Cadillac Records.
Can't beat Ms. Etta James! She's one of my favs!! You have to listen to AT LAST!! SO, SO GOOD!! (Blew your mind...without the mic, right?!?!?) ENJOY!!! Hugs from Texas!!
Janis Joplin-Ball&Chain
Janis & Tom Jones-Raise Your Hand
Always love hearing her voice, such a legendary song of pure emotional blues.
Pure vocal gold. We need more artis like this
Love her voice. I've probably not heard her sing in about 30 yrs.
Etta was the best. Dig deep into her stuff, it’ll change your life
4:29 Etta James was an early blues singer. Right around the time of Muddy Waters and those. She was an addict. Of 2 lethal substances. She didn't just sing it. She lived it. Obama totally disrespected Etta James having Beyonce sing Ettas song at a white house dinner. That song should have been sung by Etta herself at that dinner. The movie Cadillac records was loosely based on a true story. Definitely worth a watch. We're talking all the way back when the electric guitar was new.
A mirror......A reflection in the glass(mirror) showed the tears upon my face...Keep doing what you're doing ....Good music is just GOOD music no matter the genre...Take care
She was a force of nature! One of my greatest gifts was giving my dad tickets to see her before they both passed. #WhatUpDoe
Etta is the ALL TIME GREATEST!!! Hands down. Gotta check out At Last..Stormy Weather..or Miss You
A "glass" here is another word for a mirror.
If you mess with the blues, big Etta gonna slap your face
This is the Blues . It’s a vocal performance by one of the best ever . Luckily I got to see her way way back in a small club in Cambridge. She held court. . Now Beth Hart and Joe Bonamassa for a current Blues Siren Vocalist And Master Blues Guitarist
She was so wonderful in concert! Had the pleasure of seeing her several times over the decades..💙💙💙💙
Another great breakup song is Janis Joplin's Ball and Chain (live at Monterey Pop Festival, 1967).
This is The Blues!! Etta and SRV, 2 of the best
I think the most perfect connection of song and voice is Etta doing 'At Last'.
She is my favorite ❤❤❤ she always hits my Soul❤ what a beautiful voice ❤❤❤❤❤
At Last!
At Last!
At Last by Etta James!!
Amazing performance and interpretation of the song. I've never seen someone be able to sing like that without a mic and still sound so powerful.
The cd in my car stereo is her Best of,
Etta James made some cracking records. This is my first time watching her live and I was struck by how she's like a female version of Al Green in terms of the emotion and quirkiness displayed in her performance. If you like this I strongly urge you to watch Al Green's live Soul Train performance of 'Jesus Is Waiting' or 'For The Good Times', guaranteed hit in the feels every time.
I was gonna skip this video when it came on and figured hey, why not. Damn when she did it with no mic... I got the chills
She hits you deep in your soul.
I would love to see you react to Bonnie Raitt, "I Can't Make You Love me". I love Bonnie Raitt, and if you ever get the chance to see her live. GO!
Saw her live in Atlanta. In-f’ing-credible!
If you love Etta as much as we all do, you have GOT to watch the superb documentary Muscle Shoals. It's about the studios in Alabama where a ton of the best music of the 20th C was made. It's the story of Rick Hall and the Swampers, and it'll change the way you look at American music.
Great documentary. Learned a lot. So many great artists came through Muscle Shoals.
Etta is one of the best blues singers that came out in the 60s/70? Check out her version of "At Last". It'll change how you listen to music.
At Last and Outta The Rain are 2 of my favorites by her.
Etta is one of the all time greats. One in a billion. Try watching the rendition by Beth & Joe live this too is a fabulous take on this all time classic. Please watch it
Blues!! Blues is sad music. Some personalities relate to sad more than happy tunes. “At last” Etta James. It’s her love song.
Percy Sledge, "When a man loves a woman" is kinda twinned wuth this song in my mind, for some reason. And Janis Joplin "Take another little piece of my heart".
this is one of my favorite songs ever. I love Etta James,
@cliffbeats If you listen to "At Last" I think you'll realize you know her. Definitely a legend.
I love Etta man what a voice she had. This and At Last are two of my fave songs by her.
She held a glass to her lips and seen her reflection inside the glass
Lots of covers of this have been done. For me the best one ever is Beth & Joe - I'd Rather Go Blind - Live in Amsterdam. Beth put every thing she had into this and Joe provided a guitar that sang the same sad song. That's Beth Hart & Joe Bonamassa. Both are outstanding.
Beth Heart and Joe Bonamassa do a great version of this one
Yeah, very emotional and really knocked it out of the park, as well!
One of greatest voice .Sad that she had so heartbreaking personal life.
Great reaction -
One suggestion very old school bit left field :
Gerry and the pacemakers you'll never walk alone.
Even better than that is the Liverpool ( soccer) supporters singing it as it is their anthem.
Such a beautiful song.
This was possibly her comeback concert, after addiction had taken her out of the performance scene for several years.
At Last was the song we entered our wedding reception to.
Sunday Kind of Love is awesome too! Thanks Cliff! ❤
looove looove loove etta and her pipes in this she does not need the mic, soo many from this era you need to check out
This is my favorite version of this. So much power and emotion. No mic needed. Her presence is the microphone. Great cover of this by Gov’t Mule on floydivision YT channel. Just music and a still shot of guitarist and singer Warren Haynes. (Excellent blues guitarist and vocalist)
Also check out my Spotify playlist It’s a Man’s World… lots of great songs from this time and genre. Also some great Jazz, some Tom Waits, Janis Joplin and a couple Concrete Blonde (Johnette Napolitano vocals, James Mankey guitar) covers of Janis, Jimi, and James Brown.
Keep em coming! This is when music made you feel!
🤛😎👍 🔥🌳🌬️💨
OK, straight to Spotify for deep immersion in Etta James. Thank you
A lot of people covered Muddy Waters’ I Just Wanna Make Love to You (love the Righteous Brothers version) and Etta’s cover sounds exactly like you’d think the title would sound lol!
This is one of those video's that I listen to en enjoy for years now! Who needs AutoTune with singers like her!
I really appreciate that you are willing to go into more music. Different music. Your reactions are amazing. Please keep giving. You are amazing!!!
Thank you. Etta was a gift to us all.
So much soul. I love her.
I was Soooo stunned you've never heard of Etta James! Welcome to true Soul music 🎶 🎵 looking forward to future reactions! Glad you're venturing out to other genres. Much of Hip Hop was inspired by artists like Etta and based around Jazz
Damn this song hits me hard. I've got goose bumps all over. This rips my heart out! Heard it live a few times but not with Miss Etta. Wow.
That is a great room acoustically, which is one reason why she can deliver without the mic. Very little distortion, take a look at the ceiling to see why it is a great room for sound.
Etta James is amazing
Etta James was so amazing. I forgot how much I missed her voice.
So out of your comfort zone, I do have two suggestions; Lisa Fischer live "How Can I Ease The Pain" and Heatwave "Always and Forever" live. Both are incredible!
Love how you are branching out. I like my music eclectic.
You must listen to Beth Harts version featuring Joe Bonnamasa
This song can break me and lift me all at once
Damn your eyes is another great one from her.
Saw etta James play at a bar in Newport or best show ever
You and Black Pegasus reaction to
This song really warm my heart
You definitely need to go through
Her catalogue you won't be disappointed ❤
Love her. My husband and I finally got married after being together for 12 years, and our first dance was to At Last (yes it was slightly ironic, but we also love the song 😁).
"AT LAST" is a great!!!
WHAT a W B
it is music
I'm really enjoying seeing you experience all this music for the first time. It's amazing.
Coulda been a compact like lipstick compact but more likely a glass of something, like you said. Raw power in that voice.
Just came across your channel. I love watching the reaction of younger people who come across some of the great performers from decades past. Thank you for sharing your experience discovering Etta James.
LOVE when a reactor steps outside of his wheelhouse...some I love, but their channel gets hijacked by the same guys who are one-genre, and you know what their reaction is going to be, so I just bail. 'At Last' is my fav. by her. Etta was a drinker and was abt lit here, and K, not judging, just is what it is (LOVE Fleetwood/Elton/Whitney- can always tell when they are 'going fast' on some blow..esp. young Elton, omg, and k, blow is fun, to each their own)...have always heard when you drink your true feelings come out. Real tears they were. Fine job young man!
If you want to see a great performance The Bee Gees too much heaven is a must you'll never hear better harmonies. This was an amazing performance from Etta so emotional. Great reaction as usual my friend and Peace out 🙏 ✌️ ☮️
Watch Chuck Berry and Etta James performing Rock and Roll Music (1986), Eric Clapton and Keith Richard's (Rolling Stones) are also playing on the song. It's a fantastic energetic song and fun to watch.
