FYI: Etta James Covers "Purple Rain" on New CD

And from the small clip I heard; sounds like a decent cover.

Yeah, I was shopping and noticed her new CD , and saw Purple Rain. She is a talent. Also noticed a DVD in Walmart with videos by 4 artists. They were Prince, MJ, P Diddy, and ahhh, brain cramp. Was only 6 bucks, the P videos were Sexuality, Let's Pretend Were Married, Little Red Corvette, I Wanna Be Your Lover, and Automatic, and maybe a couple others.

R. Kelly
John Lennon
Prince
Leonard Bernstein
Marvin Gaye

Not sure it all works.

Ever checked out Randy Crawford's version? It's real laid-back and jazzy, love it.

Although I LOVE Randy Crawford there's something about her pronunciation of the word "Purple" which makes me HATE her version.That whole album was very lazy to me. It just didn't feel like she was into the project.
