Average Rating: 
Rating: - Etta James at her best!
She never achieved the crossover success of Aretha Franklin or Tina Turner, but if any female soul singer deserves to be mentioned in the same breath as those two, it's definitely Etta James. This remastered re-release of her classic 1961 album is really stunning. It was also one of the most successful R&B *albums* up to that point (this came out well before the "album rock" era). She had several hits from this, in addition to the legendary title song. "Anything to Say You're Mine," "My Dearest Darling," "Trust in Me," and "All I Could Do Was Cry" are all the cream of the crop of early soul music. She puts her spin on a couple of gritty Chicago blues numbers ("I Just Want to Make Love to You" and "Spoonful," the latter being one of four duets with Harvey Fuqua of the Moonglows that are included here), as well as the jazz standards "Stormy Weather," "At Last," and "Sunday Kind of Love." She really showcases her virtuosity, and it works surprisingly well. Etta James never reached these heights again (she came awfully close, though).
Rating: - Nobody sings the Blues like "Miss Peaches"!
Etta James shares her devine gift of a voice with millions who appreciate her wonderful music. The heartfelt "At Last" is the definitive wedding song. The rendition of "Stormy Weather" rivals the Lena Horne version, and "A Sunday Kind of Love" proves that Etta James is American Blues Royalty. When you listen to a heartbroken Etta James declaring "All I Could Do Was Cry", you feel the pain of a hurt teenager. -- "Miss Peaches" is one of the great R&B/Jazz singers of our time. This CD covers 14 of her best loved songs. It is a treasured part of my music collection, and I can highly recommend it!
Rating: - THIS C.D. IS RTHYM AND BLUES AT ITS ULTIMATE BEST!!!!
I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THE RECORDINGS THAT ETTA JAMES DID BACK IN 1959. WAIT TIL YOU HEAR "AT LAST", "TIME WILL TELL", "MY DEAREST DARLING" ETC. SHE EVEN SINGS WITH HARVEY OF "THE MOONGLOWS" IN "MY HEART CRIES" AND "IF I CAN'T HAVE YOU". THIS IS REAL CLASSIC STUFF. R& B WAS NEVER BETTER!WHETHER IT BE A LOVE BALAD TO A ROCKIN "JIM DANDY" OR "ROLL WITH ME. HENRY" ETTA JAMES IS THE DEFINITE QUEEN DIVA!THIS WAS WAY BEFORE ARETHA FRANKLIN. SHE WAS A COMBINATION OF DINAH WASHINGTON AND DO WOPP.SHE WAS THE FEMALE JAMES BROWN, BACK WHEN HE SANG "TRY ME". THIS GAL WAS WAY TOO UNDERRATED.SHE'S DEFINITELY "HALL OF FAME" MATERIAL.SHE WAS THE FIRST BLACK CHICK,BEFORE MARY WELLS, TO COME OUT WITH BLONDE HAIR AND A BLACK MOLE ON THE SAME PLACE WHERE MARILYN MONROE HAD HERS! THAT WAS DARING IN THOSE DAYS!HER HIT "ROLL WITH ME, HENRY" WAS BANNED FROM THE STATIONS. THE LYRICS WERE TOO RISQUE!BUY ALL HER EARLY RECORDINGS, HER SONGS ARE BEAUTIFUL AND SO IS HER VOICE! I STRONGLY RECOMMEND THIS ONE!
