Oh, I'm so happy you reacted to this. I feel like everyone knows "At Last" but this one just cuts my heart out. The ache, the desperation, unfortunately a lot of us have been there and having music in the world that speaks to these emotions is everything.
Yes, i agree with what you have said only Etta James can sing that song it was her pain so she told her truth through song and even though many try to imitate her they just can't and the best thing there is to do is just play the song and listen because the vocals the space between the notes it all belongs to Etta James herself.
That was awesome. I just love Etta James always have. That is one of my favorite songs of hers. Also, at last that’s one of my favorites also of the great late Etta James!! By the way, I just ran across your channel. You are awesome seem like a nice guy. Be blessed. And I just love you accent.😀✌🏾🙌🏾🤎
There is one pint in song she turn lowers the mic and letgo and nearly took the guitarist head off but she also has a close and intimate fun with the crowd
No one could sing with such emotion and passion and pain like Etta did. You could hear the pain in her voice when she sang. You should check out her cover of the Alice Cooper(!) song Only Women Bleed a perfect song for her!
This talented lady beat all odds to hold on to what she loved...music. She was a fighter and a winner during her life's battles. But she never lost her ability to entertain. R.I.P. Etta. ❤
One of Ettas best performances and with that Band behind her of top class musicians including Howard Johnson on Baritone and Tuba wow Check out the rest of the songs all good particularly the the Ray Charles Classic Drown in my own Tears !
Ahhh I missed seeing your reactions to Angelina Jordan. This is one of her idols. Angelina has a new EP out that is incredible. It’s all originals and soooo good. Look forward to seeing you. Bye the way Angelina done an awesome cover of this at 12/13 yrs. ❤
That part that seemed awkward (to me, at least) where she bent forward and froze locking eyes with an audience member… I think it was a particular black girl that was about to come up and become famous, because I recognize her face. (I can’t remember her name at this moment. Minute 1:47 in your video.) But it would make sense that she would lock eyes to someone to say “Hey, this could be you too, if you got it in you.”
I wonder if she was married. #1. He’d have to be damn worth it; marriage is hard, and she had choices. He11, she was Etta James. #2. He’d better ‘show up!’ to get and keep a woman like her. BECAUSE judging by the look on your face, many men must have looked at her as if they were in love. I’m sure if she was not married, it was by choice, which wouldn’t surprise me. I am single by choice. Maybe I just haven’t met one, that looks at me like you look at her, whom is worth keeping. ❤ I’m betting your wife is very lucky. Side note: NICE VICTROLA.
“It took a while to get me here, and I’m gonna take my time. Don’t fight that good sh*t in your ear, now let me blow your mind.” That was not from Etta, but that was the attitude she had. SHE (omg) was not afraid of silence. And she was gonna savor every single second of it. She wanted girls to know that if she got there, and they had something in them, they could get there too. No fear. Actually, scratch that. Not “no fear”. If you never feel like you could possibly about to be paralyzed by fear, maybe you’re doing something wrong…? Look at her. She said, fk it! And let it rip. I wish I could do that. Go Etta! Btw, I love that victrola sitting next to you.
