    Music:

    A languid, evening listening to bluesy/jazz

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Jul 6, 2006

    Pros: Love the soulfulness of her voice

    Cons: There is none that I can think of

    Got into this music since I first seen the movie "Lady sings the blues" with Diana Ross playing Billie Holiday when I was seven or eight years old? Ever since then, I have listened to this type of music, big bands, any type of music.. I lov...e the variety of music. Now, Etta James.. *sigh* I love the song "A Sunday Kind of Love".. THAT is a great song along with "At Last". However, I think these two are probably one of her popular songs. Nevertheless, if you are looking to purchasing a blues/jazz singer-she is one of my recommendations especially if you are planning on making it a quiet night at home without the kids, dim the lights, curl up on the divan, a good book or just doing nothing as you let the music swirl around you and place you in a relaxing mood.

Pro Reviews: Essential Etta James

  • All Music Guide

    Forty-four tracks summarizing the long and brilliant Chess tenure of Miss Peaches, opening with her 1960 smash "All I Could Do Was Cry," and encompassing her torchy, fully orchestrated ballads "At Last, " "My Dearest Darling, " and "Trust in Me, " and continuing on through her 1962 gospel rocker "Something's Got a Hold on Me, " the Chicago soul standouts "I Prefer You" and "842-3089, " and her 1967 Muscle Shoals-cut smash "Tell Mama." A few of the '70s sides that conclude the two-disc set seem makeweight when compared to what preceded them, but most of the essentials are aboard.

Biography

Etta James

Few RB singers have endured tragic travails on the monumental level that Etta James has and remain on earth to talk about it. The lady's no shrinking violet; her autobiography, Rage to Survive, describes her past (including numerous drug addictions) in sordid detail.But her personal problems have seldom affected her singing. James has hung in there from the age of RB an... Read more
