Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
This is Etta James's first full-length album, recorded for Chess Records' Argo subsidiary in 1960. It taps all aspects of her then-blossoming talent. There's the crooning rock ballad "My Dearest Darling" and the elegantly symphonic "Sunday Kind of Love". Her classic, broken-hearted "All I Could Do Was Cry" follows the sweet title track and the bawdy blues stomper "I Just Want to Make Love to You". And there's a version of Harold Arlen's "Stormy Weather", which Lena Horne made famous. James's fine way with such a wide embrace of material wouldn't again be this well displayed on a single album until she was united with producer Jerry Wexler for 1977's Deep in the Night. --Ted Drozdowski

At Last - The Best Of Etta James,
This review is from: At Last - The Best Of (Audio CD)
This is a wonderful album, with an impressive set list of great songs from Cole Porter, Otis Redding, James Brown and Harold Arlen and George Gershwin. It's a shame that the Amazon review doesn't actually match this CD!Etta's voice stunning, and the orchestral backing is superb. Buy this with confidence!At Last - The Best Of

Good intro to Etta James,
This review is from: At Last! (Audio CD)
Some of Etta's better tracks. Recording a bit patchy in places but still enjoyable.
For the price a good introduction to Etta James.
