My feelings exactly !

She was good;)

For those who DON'T know...just listen to Etta sing "At Last", "A Sunday Kind of Love" or "Tell Mama". All classics!

At last is a winner *:)

I know that song well.....when I worked for Jaguar, they used that song for all of the S-Type launch commercials :p:

For those not familiar with classic Chicago Blues-Rock and want to hear just where Blood Sweat & Tears, Fred Zeppelin, Electric Flag, Stones and many more got their ideas, lyrics and melodies from...this is the place to start looking! Two-disc set, 36 songs featuring Etta James, Memphis Slim, Willie Dixon, Muddy Waters, Chuck Berry (not to be confused with Chuck Barris :rolleyes: ), Bo Diddley, Howlin' Wolf, Elmore James, Sonny Boy Williamson and more. Highly recommended!

Don't fergit"Dance With Me Henry" Etta's hit from '54. Kinda risque for back then.-Sandy G.

Etta,Koko,Katie the 3 royal ladies of the blues

Hey I know who Chuck Berry is, he's a classic ;)
