Etta James
I have all of Etta James’ records. I first heard an early R&B song “Roll with me Henry” and starting hitting the used record stores looking for more. She was the Queen of Soul before Aretha stole the title. There’s even an Etta James record with that title also on Argo. I’ve seen her perform a few times. Once at the Newport Jazz Festival where I met her. Her version of “At Last” has become a wedding staple and was used in some car commercial a few years ago. This cover is a stunning portrait of her at her peak in the mid-sixties.
