ETTA JAMES

AT LAST
AT LAST
AT LAST
AT LAST

A dream I can call my own...
I found a thrill...
2 rest my cheek 2...
a thrill that "i" have never known...
U smiled...U smiled...
All and then...the spell was cast...
And here we are in heaven... rose
4 U are MINE AT LAST!!!


MAN I LOVE THIS SONG COMPASSIONATELY

ETTA JAMES "AT LAST"

with love Honor and respect

At Last is an amazing song...Etta James' version is absolutely the best.

Who's version would you say is next-best; Celine Dion or Christina Aguilera's?

"Sugar on the Floor." Listen to some more REAL Etta James! "At Last" probably is her best known, but she's got some other stuff out there that'll make you cry! If I had to choose between Celine Dion and Christina Aguilera, I'd take Christina's version. She listened VERY carefully to Etta. Can't you imagine Rosie Gaines with that one?

I'm glad to hear some other folks like Etta...I rock her CDs quite often...in addition to the slow jams, I love 'In the Basement' and her other, more bluesly-sounding songs.

I vote for Christina's version...her voice sounds very passionate. I guess this isn't really fair since I've never heard Celine's version...

My grandmother was and still is a big fan of this lady and had most of her albums. All of this lady's music moved me and still does. She is a powerhouse! Original, earthshaking, was and still is one of the finest women I've ever seen with blonde hair! Tell Mama, Trust in Me, At Last!, All I Could Do Was Cry, and she also redid some mean remakes other great music. Another icon! (It's rumoured and I think true that Minnesota Fats, the famouse pool player, is her father! She was born in Los Angeles)

...She addressed that rumor in an interview with 'Vibe' magazine. She does think he's her father.

Interesting info...she said in an interview that her first name is actually "Jamesetta" (Don't remember the last name!), and she coined her stage name from that.

While we're on the "old-school" divas track, I gotta give props to Ella Fitzgerald. She's not as gritty and bluesy as Etta, but wonderful nonetheless. Beautiful, crystal-clear voice.
