More Info:
Listening to At Last! Who could guess where Etta James was coming from? It was her first solo album, after a few group successes. A bouquet of love songs in which the young woman sang of the blossoming as well as the thorns and the wilting. All strings and jazzy ambience, the music is a red carpet for the exceptional voice of this young singer. Capable of innocence and freshness as well as red-hot roars. Like all the great black American singers, Etta James put her life into her voice: her childhood without a family, her early addiction to drugs, her salvation through the music she began in church. At the age of 22, Etta James sang as if she had lived through it all, and still with hope. The song At Last! #has become a classic, accompanying Etta James throughout her life and beyond: it was the song sung at her funeral in 2012.
