Etta James - At Last!

Cover art included, liner notes not included

Etta James began her career as a gritty R&B spitfire, but on 1960's At Last!, she emerged as something more. Backed by elegant orchestrations, she tackles jazz/pop standards like "Stormy Weather" and "A Sunday Kind of Love," walking into a whole new world and immediately taking command of it. Crooning or belting as the moment demands, she shows herself to be one of the great American vocalists, regardless of genre. And the number of couples who've danced to the title track at their weddings simply cannot be computed.
