This is how I feel about the love of my life. I met him 2 years ago. He's 63 and I'll soon be 67 years old...and I have to tell you folks that you can find your first -- and last -- real love, no matter what age you are.
I'll be 71 next Thursday. I am trying to get set free from an emotionally abusive relationship. I hope it is not too late to find a man I can love and who will love me. I needed to hear that. I am so beaten down by this man. It is awful. He won't leave.
list maker hey sweetheart I hope you find love again! Love has no age and has no limits I’m sorry that right now it might be tough but you stay strong and leave him! You might be feeling blue but don’t feel beaten down over him hun I promise things will get better and you will experience love again ☺️❤️
@@voyeurette1, Sorry to hear you stayed so long :( I gave up abuse & feared my ex would murder me for years ! I know the fear... I have been with my guy since I was 36 & he was 49 ! We are still together & I decided to marry him after 7 years together, refused before.... didn't want a man to think he owned me ! I refused to change my name & wanted to be thought of as an individual person, instead of a piece of property without feelings of my own, only an extension of him ! My husband did not deserve those fears... but they were there & he was understanding, caring, loving :) It can happen to you, but put down your foot if ANY abuse starts, don't allow it !!! In beginning my guy was very jealous.... I informed him that if he continued on this track that he would destroy our relationship & that he should choose to trust me & wait and see !!! He got the message & realized that he could trust me !!!
Cheryl Feldman Sorry for your loss sweetheart. I feel your pain, as I was widowed in 2013 after 13 humbling years. Cannot wait to see that face again, in Heaven. Godspeed. Stay strong 💘
The first song my first and only love ever danced to… we both had been on our own a long time and when we met, lightning struck. At last! I’d give anything to dance to this with my wife one last time!
I just met my love at 85 and he is 85 and this song is us . I never thought I would ever find love again but it happened. I hope we have at least a few good years .
Oh my... Thank you Universe!!! I wish you both many many more years of love & light! This is beautiful & I can't wait for my day to be able to say this!
I use to sing this song to my fiance all the time. I love and miss him so much it hurts!!! The Lord took him home to heaven at 3pm on May 18th, 2020. I will love and miss you always and forever my love. R.I.P. Jim Firkins
This was my moms favorite song, I can hear her singing along now. She has been gone 26 years but this brings memories of her back. Great song, wonderful memories.
Can’t imagine anyone disagreeing with that statement, then again, there always seems to be that one. This song is nothing but perfection and always will be
I just met the love of my life at 70, and he is 79. Two weeks in, and feel like I have been talking to him for 6 months. We are getting engaged in December.
What not to love about her ? A gifted vocalist with insanely wide range , sang every song like there was no tomorrow and made them last forever !!!! Simply wonderful !!!!!

I just found my true love. A love that most women wouldn't want. I'm 68 and he is 72. He had Parkinson's and unable to speak. He is an amazing man and we immediately fell in love. I wouldn't trade him for anything in the world. Love can come at any age and in any form. God good!!
I had a dream about losing my father and this song was playing in the background while I was grieving his loss so much... I'm gonna go see him today as soon as possible thank God he's still alive. Im gonna go slow dance this song with my dad now that I can and I'm gonna give him big hug. I can't stop crying I love my papà so much and just the thought of him leaving is giving me a sleepless night
I had a dream my Dad, was with me chillin'. It's been 10 months since he passed.... I found out in March 21'. I did not want to leave the dream when I was in it. I couldn't breathe when I woke up.... Just cry. Best dream ever. Love you Daddy.
My fear for my mom is that she is so broken hearted she leaves. This song has been playing in my head for weeks now. My dad passed 7/13/2021 and she says he was the love of her life. Its been hard for her. I imagine thing song playing when they meet again. She is not sick just sad.
Ca Mills, I know what you mean 😪, I lost mine in 98, but he had a good life and very old. Sometimes I dream that he’s alive, so cherish the life u had with him- like Abe Lincoln said- it’s not the years in your life- it’s the life in your years- and M. Ali said don’t count your days- make your days count!😊
This was the song my oldest sister had at her wedding when she finally got to marry the man she loved...the love of her life. A few short years later she passed away from cancer. We miss her terribly.
This was my best friend's favorite song. We were so close in high school. She got me into Etta James. She would play this song and twirl in her front yard with a magnolia in her hair. She drowned my junior year. This song started playing as I approached her casket and dropped a magnolia inside. That's how I knew she was there. Miss you, Clarissa. Always.
I lost a friend when I was sixteen too. It's hard but it's nice to see that you have something to remind her. In your case is a song, in mine is a pencil case she lent me, and I never had the chance to return it to her. Keep listening to Etta, that was a wonderful lesson your friend give it to you.
I saw her at the Olympics in 1984 at the Coliseum, and later that year I saw her at a much smaller venue in the Los Angeles area. I was front row when she sang "At Last" and she was so near to me that it felt like she was singing directly to me, and it was amazing!
Today I found out me and my wife are expecting our first child after so many hurdles and it’s a boy!!!! A gift from a son to his father! My father although he has many faults to which I’ll not repeat mean his legacy lives on. A miracle! People use the word miracle loosely and to flippant but to those who have struggled the miracle is truly understood ❤️❤️ AT LAST
After trying marriage a few times I finally found my true love at the age of 60. Now am 66. We grew up together and went our own way for a long time. Finally found each other again. I found her...At Last. Thanks Etta for the song and it means so much now.
@@22stacylee They do still have younger singers singing older songs or similar songs , you just have to look them up. Even if they're not as well known they are out there.
My mother used to say my love made her feel like this....now that your gone I can only hope to bring that feeling back to someone. 💯 you loved me when I didn't love myself! I miss you and I love you
I played this song and sang this to my greatgranddaughter just 3 hrs old and she stopped crying an smiled . now she has to hear this song beforeshe will go to sleep .
*Colby Herschberger* That's the spacial depth created by a low-intensity reverb. And a frugal, but carefully chosen arrangement of violinists, an orchestral bassist, a drummer, & a pianist. Probably the very best example of achieving the maximum effect with a bare minimum of musicians If this musical arrangement wasn't the decision-making of Leonard Chess himself, then I can't wait to find out who his orchestrator or his arranger was ☺
@@magnificentmuttley154 ...The arranger-conductor was the late, great Riley C. Hampton. The latter was also the arranger-conductor on The Miracles' 1962 classic 45 RPM hit single entitled "I'll Try Something New," written by William "Smokey" Robinson, Jr.
I am 31 and I really envy you to live in that golden time, I would love to live in 50 - 60's, this music makes my heart beats, I dream to dance and falling in love while this precious music is background 😢 And certainly, I would love to find that perfect 1950 - 1960 gentleman to fall on love with 😢💙
this is the apotheosis of " soul"...you don't need no education or teacher or school to teach you what "soul" is..but should be played in every classroom in the world...so children will Know ...
The Kentucky Gent I’m only 17!!!! This has always been my favorite song since I was 1!! My great grandfather promised me since I was little that he was gonna dance with me on my wedding day. Sadly he passed away 2 years ago. Since I was a little girl and when i would visit him he would have songs like theE and just dance with me while he was covered in sweat and grease after a long day of being a mechanic!!
I was a young boy when this song was released. Anytime I hear this or some of the other classic love ballads of that time, I vividly remember listening to it in the dark on the radio. The local station had a show that started at 10pm, called "Starlight Serenade". What music! I had forgotten all about this song until I heard it played behind a tv commercial and it all came back. Wow. Was she great!
I agree and that's why I LOVE RUclips! They have every song you can think of! I've tried to stump them but so far I haven't succeeded. Lol. I even have found videos from the roaring 20s!!!
A song can bring you two at a time that you have forgotten. You sound like a sensitive person. If so don't lose your sensitivity it means you're human.
It's a kind of bittersweet and beautiful, when you listen to music from your childhood or younger days and it takes you back and you can almost feel like you were back in time. Reliving those days as you takes you on a trip to childhood or the good ole days. Its almost like you can smell it, touch it, feel it and see it. Sometimes tears start rolling because you know those days are gone forever...Thank goodness for sweet memories
Holy crap is that a haunting song. I am a 60+++ year old guy and remember my dad playing that music when I was a kid. I didn’t appreciate it then, but somehow I found my way back to those classics. Thanks Dad. I am glad that you liked those songs.
@@trinityestrada9588 I am bewildered at what you mean. What was blasphemous? I need to know because I didn’t intend anything negative. Please help me out here. Thanks.
@@macsloan58 I'm wondering the same thing. The memory you shared of your Dad was precious. I appreciated reading it. I remember my parents dancing to this amazing song 🎵 🕺 💃.
My husband and I came down the aisle to this after being together 23 years. Please no haters but if you do you are the one looking foolish.Beautiful song.
My nana passed away just before my 14th birthday and I was on the road with my dad late at night the other night and we both couldn't see because of other headlights and this song started to play. This was her favorite song and I took that as a sign she was watching over us. Also I just recently had my wisdom teeth taken out and have been in a lot of pain because of it and just had the urge to listen to her favorite song. Nana if you are watching over me and you see this I love you so much and I miss you so much. I can't wait for the day I see you and I can't hug you once again. Rest in peace nana I love you so much
when she says that fisrt "At last" it sounds like such a wonderful sigh, breath of relief and happiness, like, there you are!! Ive been looking for you for so long! Its so perfect!
Every word, every single word is respected enough to be heard as clearly as possible without compromising the melody. The instrumentation supports the artist and provides space for the lyrics, tone, and voice of the artist to just sing and you can hear the feelings of the words and the artist come through. A masterpiece!!
This track instantly popped up into my mind while reading my bit from my Bible. 🎶 aaaat laaaast 🎵 Thankies Etta James for the beautiful & wonderful vocalization. Really brought this track to life. Thankies to those whom recorded, produced, distributed, cleaned the floors of the recording studio the day this track was recorded. The Janitor is important too, he/she prevented Etta & others from slipping or falling. Cleanliness is next to Godliness. Thankies to Jesus & God for flowing through everyone that day while this track was being made. I pray whomever is reading this experiences an all around safe, healthy, happy, ✝️, humourous, respecting, appreciating, funtastic, foodielicious, joygasmic gooder of a day/evening all around & positively under Jesus’ & God’s tender, loving care 🕊🙏🏽🕊 I’m jealous of you Etta, you got to hang with one of my Shero’s, Norma Jean Baker. AKA Miss Marilyn Monroe 💛💛💛💛
Lucie Raskova Thanks Lucie. Everything about this rendition that hits all the right spots. The lyrics, the timing, the orchestration and of course Etta's magnificent voice!
Someone once told me that if you get chills when someone sings it’s because that person gets into your soul. I get chills whenever I hear any of Ettas songs! She was just incredible!
@@hi-meraki thank you!! she's just 8MO now but I think she can feel all the love that I have for her...sometimes we both stare at each others eyes for a couple of seconds and I swear I can feel (deep inside of me) her saying to me with her eyes.. I love you daddy...I know I may sound cheezy but that's how I feel 😇
Love the voice of the Late Miss Etta James. This is a beautiful wedding song, the all most favorite. She’s got the best sultry voice. This is the original artist, and only to master this piece. For all those who do not, like the song done by the original songstress do not know their music, and do not appreciate real singing!
Man of Steel I am a white person,and i think that ther not much artists these day`s that can come to the level Miss Etta did. I think she is one of the best singers everrrr. If she was black or white i do not care,her voice will not be easely copied. Peace. Ps Try to not make a racist thing out of everything just enjoy this musical art. thnx
For those of us who lived these times , It was the last days of (real music, harmony and romance). The so called music of today will never last as this generation reaches their old age.
Dear GA, may you find comfort in wonderful memories of your beloved. I happen to believe that the soul is a thing that endures. May this amazing song bring you peace, day by day.
noemisteaphanie93 ... there are some amazing very young singers, who remind us to the better days of Jazz musicians like Grace Vanderwaal (US), Angelina Jordan (Norway) and Krisia Todorowa (Bulgaria). Born in 1963 I was a big fan of The Doors, then switched to Rachmaninow and old tunes of Lena Horne and Screamin' Jay ... but the last ten years I was searchin' in vain ... until Grace won AGT ... just listen to her Adele version "One and only" and her original "Lungs".
Both my wife and I are 75 years old. She is in early dementia. Every now and then I put this on the old turntable and we dance. She's not sure why, but I cry and gently kiss her and hold her as tightly as I can, She sees me with tears running down my cheeks and asks if I'm hurt. I always answer "yes Dear in my heart". Dementia is much worse than watching someone you love die. They are alive but they stop living.
Im thinking of using this as my wedding song. I was worried that it might be too cliche, but I love the song. Congrats to you and yours and your mom will be there in spirit.
At last My love has come along My lonely days are over And life is like a song Oh yeah yeah At last The skies above are blue My heart was wrapped up in clover The night I looked at you I found a dream, that I could speak to A dream that I can call my own I found a thrill to press my cheek to A thrill that I have never known Oh yeah yeah You smiled, you smiled Oh and then the spell was cast And here we are in heaven for you are mine...
*Adam Phillips, Dani Sullivan* The most timely & excellent recommendation for any of us in this over-rushed, stressful life... Your suggestion was for Aaliyah N, of course, but Thank You nonetheless. That's exactly what I've gotta do ❤❤
This song reminds me of my good friend Tino. This song reminded him of his late wife and he missed her every single day. I seen him cry for her every time he heard this song. Rip Tino I know you are with the love of your life now
Definitely! But what happens if we have four more years of hell? Say Trump wins again, coronavirus, three more years, lose jobs for two years, trouble with China, new swine flu virus ( discovered last month)....
2020 has truly been one of the worst ever for me. Not only are we all having to deal with this pandemic but I also lost my fiance. He went home to heaven at 3pm on May 18th, 2020. I miss him so very much it hurts!!! I will love and miss you always and forever my love!!! R.I.P. Jim Firkins 💜

So happy and so proud.
You must have been proud.

Telling my children this is the national anthem
Ellah Turenne 😃

One of those ‘dreamy’ songs that completely envelops your mind and soul. Her voice is so incredibly melodic.
As soon as Etta sings her first note, your entire body just relaxes.
It's kind of like sinking into a hot bath when don't have anything you have to do and you've got the house to yourself.
I'm going to try playing this next time I'm feeling stressed and see if has chills me out.
More like a whirlpool. What power!
Oh yes, so relaxing and beautiful!

No matter how many times I hear Etta James sing this song, it's always fresh, emotional, moving and no one else can touch it. It's her signature song.
Hello dear, how are you ?
Hello how are you doing? I hope you’re doing fine. I’m David from Houston, Texas. Where are you from? You seems like a real country girl smiles 😊
Been listening to this song constantly ever since I brought my newborn son home this week. Brings me happy tears every time!
I hope you like this version, let me know via comment on my channel. a strong strong hug from Sicily ruclips.net/video/AE-fL9WK5mw/видео.html

After trying marriage a few times I finally found my true love at the age of 60. Now am 66. We grew up together and went our own way for a long time. Finally found each other again. I found her...At Last. Thanks Etta for the song and it means so much now.

You have a chance now 🤯☠️
As soon as you hear her sing you get goosebumps.
What a stunning voice .
Damn yeah
I wish they still made music like this!
@@22stacylee They do still have younger singers singing older songs or similar songs , you just have to look them up. Even if they're not as well known they are out there.
Hello how are you doing? I hope you’re doing fine. I’m David from Houston, Texas. Where are you from? You seems like a real country girl 😊 .
It's the G minor music chords...Etta was an amazing artist.
My mom used to dance around our living room with me stepping on her feet. She has always called it our song. 💕
Samantha Kellagher 🤣used to
I know exactly why your mother said it was your song. It is my song for my son. Someday if or when your mother, you will understand
Wow. I felt the love in this comment. Felt like I was there with yall
Omg that’s so sweet
One of the most difficult song to sing and yet she is fabulous. She has a unique voice, unmatchable
Ella Fitzgerald does a good job on it, too.
My mother used to say my love made her feel like this....now that your gone I can only hope to bring that feeling back to someone. 💯 you loved me when I didn't love myself! I miss you and I love you
Miss my sweet angel, my Mum as well. Stay strong Manuel. Thank you for sharing. - Maja
Great song played this over and over during the lock down x
What a beautiful thing to say to your child.
Awwww that’s so pretty god bless you

Yesss😂😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣
The perfect blend of the perfect song, with the perfect singer, with the perfect arrangement.
I played this song and sang this to my greatgranddaughter just 3 hrs old and she stopped crying an smiled . now she has to hear this song beforeshe will go to sleep .
I love that story! She sounds like a little musical genius to be.
My love Petula Clark
Magic. Kindred spirit. Not many people find that and you did in your granddaughter that is special.
I love that she likes good music at only 3 hours old she is going to be a star
I read this just as my daughter (6 years old) and I were singing this song together. We love music that is timeless and transcends the generations.
The orchestra playing in the background is wonderful!
BIG sound for being recorded in a tight little studio on West Michigan Avenue.
*Colby Herschberger* That's the spacial depth created by a low-intensity reverb. And a frugal, but carefully chosen arrangement of violinists, an orchestral bassist, a drummer, & a pianist. Probably the very best example of achieving the maximum effect with a bare minimum of musicians
If this musical arrangement wasn't the decision-making of Leonard Chess himself, then I can't wait to find out who his orchestrator or his arranger was ☺
Sandra Sandy Manning ...The strings were conducted by Riley C. Hampton.
@@magnificentmuttley154 ...The arranger-conductor was the late, great Riley C. Hampton. The latter was also the arranger-conductor on The Miracles' 1962 classic 45 RPM hit single entitled "I'll Try Something New," written by William "Smokey" Robinson, Jr.
@@brucescott4261 Thank you, Thank you! !
I am 31 and I really envy you to live in that golden time, I would love to live in 50 - 60's, this music makes my heart beats, I dream to dance and falling in love while this precious music is background 😢
And certainly, I would love to find that perfect 1950 - 1960 gentleman to fall on love with 😢💙
We got hitched on Saturday and my beautiful wife walked down the aisle to this. After 32 years together, it was such a fitting tune
this is the apotheosis of " soul"...you don't need no education or teacher or school to teach you what "soul" is..but should be played in every classroom in the world...so children will Know ...
you care dirtballs
James Owen thanku
When I get to heaven I hope Etta is in gods choir. This song is absolutely timeless
Im in my mid 30s and im forever grateful my parents introduced me to music like this.
Thanks mom & dad
The Kentucky Gent I’m only 17!!!! This has always been my favorite song since I was 1!! My great grandfather promised me since I was little that he was gonna dance with me on my wedding day. Sadly he passed away 2 years ago. Since I was a little girl and when i would visit him he would have songs like theE and just dance with me while he was covered in sweat and grease after a long day of being a mechanic!!
Angel Pla cherish that forever
The sounds of the 50's rocked.
The Kentucky Gent check me out! I’m a violinist
Dosè Of Kentucky same here
Being 25 and loving old era music is a sign that I have an old soul. anyone here ?
❤❤❤ Love This 😊😊
Same here.😊
I was a young boy when this song was released. Anytime I hear this or some of the other classic love ballads of that time, I vividly remember listening to it in the dark on the radio. The local station had a show that started at 10pm, called "Starlight Serenade". What music! I had forgotten all about this song until I heard it played behind a tv commercial and it all came back. Wow. Was she great!
I agree and that's why I LOVE RUclips! They have every song you can think of! I've tried to stump them but so far I haven't succeeded. Lol. I even have found videos from the roaring 20s!!!
A song can bring you two at a time that you have forgotten. You sound like a sensitive person. If so don't lose your sensitivity it means you're human.
I really identity with what you said. I was born 1961. And anytime I hear this song I remember my childhood
It's a kind of bittersweet and beautiful, when you listen to music from your childhood or younger days and it takes you back and you can almost feel like you were back in time. Reliving those days as you takes you on a trip to childhood or the good ole days. Its almost like you can smell it, touch it, feel it and see it. Sometimes tears start rolling because you know those days are gone forever...Thank goodness for sweet memories
This song is like an image of how love must really feel like. So touching and mesmerizing at the same time.
Etta James does this song justice. Her amazing vocals are unrivalled by any other artist...Brava!
@jamie H smart Just fine, thank you. Hope you are too:)
There is no music like the old music, gives you shivers. It's got that special atmosphere.
Hello how are you doing today ?
When Etta James hits the that first note, my entire body shivers. That is pure music. Pure magic.
Holy crap is that a haunting song. I am a 60+++ year old guy and remember my dad playing that music when I was a kid. I didn’t appreciate it then, but somehow I found my way back to those classics. Thanks Dad. I am glad that you liked those songs.
Too bad your dad didn't teach you to not be blasphemous.
@@trinityestrada9588 I am bewildered at what you mean. What was blasphemous? I need to know because I didn’t intend anything negative. Please help me out here. Thanks.
@@macsloan58 I'm wondering the same thing. The memory you shared of your Dad was precious. I appreciated reading it. I remember my parents dancing to this amazing song 🎵 🕺 💃.
🙂!!!
My husband and I came down the aisle to this after being together 23 years. Please no haters but if you do you are the one looking foolish.Beautiful song.
Ray Schaefer congrats ❤️❤️❤️
No hate here, brother. Congratulations!
Ray Schaefer check me out! I’m a violinist
No hate, just love
I'm family so love the post
This song was was our wedding dance .my husband died of cancer 2023i miss him so much and I love him with every beat of my heart. R. I .P. A.L ❤🙇♀️
My nana passed away just before my 14th birthday and I was on the road with my dad late at night the other night and we both couldn't see because of other headlights and this song started to play. This was her favorite song and I took that as a sign she was watching over us. Also I just recently had my wisdom teeth taken out and have been in a lot of pain because of it and just had the urge to listen to her favorite song. Nana if you are watching over me and you see this I love you so much and I miss you so much. I can't wait for the day I see you and I can't hug you once again. Rest in peace nana I love you so much
Your nana sounds like a very lovely person luv❤ i hope you have a very great day today and the days ahead you too❤❤❤
I’m sure she is watching over you angel I lost mine in 2018 I know it hurts so bad but we will both meet our nanas eventually 🤍
A timeless classic, sung by the incomparable Etta James. People will still be listening to this recording a 100 years for now.
when she says that fisrt "At last" it sounds like such a wonderful sigh, breath of relief and happiness, like, there you are!! Ive been looking for you for so long! Its so perfect!
The Prince, the Rose & La Muerte g
Every word, every single word is respected enough to be heard as clearly as possible without compromising the melody. The instrumentation supports the artist and provides space for the lyrics, tone, and voice of the artist to just sing and you can hear the feelings of the words and the artist come through. A masterpiece!!
This track instantly popped up into my mind while reading my bit from my Bible.
🎶 aaaat laaaast 🎵
Thankies Etta James for the beautiful & wonderful vocalization.
Really brought this track to life.
Thankies to those whom recorded, produced, distributed, cleaned the floors of the recording studio the day this track was recorded. The Janitor is important too, he/she prevented Etta & others from slipping or falling. Cleanliness is next to Godliness.
Thankies to Jesus & God for flowing through everyone that day while this track was being made.
I pray whomever is reading this experiences an all around safe, healthy, happy, ✝️, humourous, respecting, appreciating, funtastic, foodielicious, joygasmic gooder of a day/evening all around & positively under Jesus’ & God’s tender, loving care 🕊🙏🏽🕊
I’m jealous of you Etta, you got to hang with one of my Shero’s, Norma Jean Baker. AKA Miss Marilyn Monroe 💛💛💛💛
Hello how are you doing
Shame Marilyn Monroe said she didnt need Jesus
I've been listening to Etta sing this since she released it and it still gives me a new tingle in the spine and a tear in my eyes!
you sir, have my respect.
Lucie Raskova
Thanks Lucie. Everything about this rendition that hits all the right spots. The lyrics, the timing, the orchestration and of course Etta's magnificent voice!
Chris Dean that´s sad, man.
Lucie Raskova
Could be worse. He could be doing that while listening to the Spice Girls! Yuck!
David Stephan or one direction *shudder*
My mama just past. I went in her room. This was playing. She’s with her husband now. Omg. I miss her so much.
Someone once told me that if you get chills when someone sings it’s because that person gets into your soul. I get chills whenever I hear any of Ettas songs! She was just incredible!
They don't make music like this anymore & this type of talent seems rare.
adele
+Doug Koza "RARE"
+Doug Koza that's exactly who Etta reminded me of when i first heard her.
+FruityUnicorn17 you mean to say Adele reminded you of Etta I think
+Rikki Heinis every generation does the job of perpetuating the crap the last one said
Who’s listening during lockdown?
🙋🏽♀️
Me 😊
@Papa Rich on the contrary I spend in a hot sunny day ☀️🌞at home. Really really hot 34 degre celcius.
@Papa Rich 👍👍👍
Fantastic singer 💖
now this, my children, is real music
Absolutely! This was our wedding song (20 years ago!) and it still has such a potency when I hear it. She is incredible - a proper musician!
So true,but my kids are learning we had the best.
@@laurapeters5992 I have loved her music since I first heard her
Jamesetta Hawkins
Kodak Black is real music!! just kidding
I´m dedicating this to my daughter, she´ll be born within a few months and I already play this song to her in the belly
hey - congrats!! 😊
I guess she's already with you! Congrats ❤
@@hi-meraki thank you!! she's just 8MO now but I think she can feel all the love that I have for her...sometimes we both stare at each others eyes for a couple of seconds and I swear I can feel (deep inside of me) her saying to me with her eyes.. I love you daddy...I know I may sound cheezy but that's how I feel 😇
I've searched 3 years for a song that could tell my man what my soul feels. This is it....God Bless you Etta 🙏🏻♥️
Hi Annabelle...How are you doing today?
Hello Annabelle how are you doing today and how is the weather over there ?
Hello how are you doing
Hello how are you doing? I hope you’re doing fine. I’m David from Houston, Texas. Where are you from? You seems like a real country girl smiles😊
Love the voice of the Late Miss Etta James. This is a beautiful wedding song, the all most favorite. She’s got the best sultry voice. This is the original artist, and only to master this piece.
For all those who do not, like the song done by the original songstress do not know their music, and do not appreciate real singing!
Hello Veneitta
Veneitta Brown This is A DISGUSTING wedding song and it really SUCKS!!!!
The older i get the more i appreciate real music like this. Just dont make it like this anymore
And it breaks my heart 😖
Totally agree, music today, has no depth or emotion....
At 60+ years I finally met my dream.Man love is awesome.I'm so frikkin happy
Unfortunately being young, the more I grow older and listen to music like this the more I wish we had music like this to even see in concerts.
So true
October 28, 2024. ❤ The Lord Jesus has made it so to meet this man. Im 56 and was just about to give up. Thank you Jesus
Hello 👋.. Pretty lady 🌹🌹.. How are you doing and the weather condition like.
This unintentionally fits the birth of a new child, a Wedding and a Funeral 🕵🏾♂️
Is so fitting for my Wedding. It will be 30 years after our 1st date😂😂😂
Rhaenyra Targaryen Loyalist b
Maybe not a funeral 😯
@@bracemitchell5062 Free from the pain that comes with human existence. Just depends upon personal perspective.
Would be extremely ill fitting for a funeral...
How can anyone dislike this song?
Maybe they dislike the video?
I didn't think of that. The song is like candy.
I have taken a long time to think about your question.
I came to the conclusion that i can not understand why.
Man of Steel I am a white person,and i think that ther not much artists these day`s that can come to the level Miss Etta did.
I think she is one of the best singers everrrr.
If she was black or white i do not care,her voice will not be easely copied.
Peace.
Ps Try to not make a racist thing out of everything just enjoy this musical art. thnx
Or maybe you are racist.
When u been hurt by love so bad and it finally finds you.....at last
If only...

Still waiting for my cups to be filled 😔I think love just isn't for me like honestly !
@@xfairy3800 false. Love is for everyone sometimes the people we allow to be of entertainment is the issue. Trust in Gods timing: 💕
🙂💯
For those of us who lived these times , It was the last days of (real music, harmony and romance).
The so called music of today will never last as this generation reaches their old age.
My beautiful wife died, I listen to this to remember what I had.
G A sweet
that's so sweet she's in a better place believe me u get all of my respect sir :D
Dear GA, may you find comfort in wonderful memories of your beloved. I happen to believe that the soul is a thing that endures. May this amazing song bring you peace, day by day.
May she bless you with love eternal
I feel your Heart
One of my all time FAVE songs! It's so romantic and sweet! Man how I wish music was still like this!
Why did we have to get into our golden years to really appreciate this music?
Pat Gibb golden years? I'm only 24, I wasn't even alive back then!
noemisteaphanie93 ... there are some amazing very young singers, who remind us to the better days of Jazz musicians like Grace Vanderwaal (US), Angelina Jordan (Norway) and Krisia Todorowa (Bulgaria). Born in 1963 I was a big fan of The Doors, then switched to Rachmaninow and old tunes of Lena Horne and Screamin' Jay ... but the last ten years I was searchin' in vain ... until Grace won AGT ... just listen to her Adele version "One and only" and her original "Lungs".
Classic time for music and Etta was a queen
I prefer the original version by Glenn Miller, better than all versions that came after it including this one
What a song!! What a voice!! 🙋🏻😆🥂👏🏻
Hi Anita ....How are you doing?
Both my wife and I are 75 years old. She is in early dementia. Every now and then I put this on the old turntable and we dance. She's not sure why, but I cry and gently kiss her and hold her as tightly as I can, She sees me with tears running down my cheeks and asks if I'm hurt. I always answer "yes Dear in my heart". Dementia is much worse than watching someone you love die. They are alive but they stop living.
No one:
My delusional self: Slow dances with my non-existent boyfriend
Same
I Hope you find a Nice one to dance
*slow dances whit my stuffed animal*
Is it wrong that I’m a guy lonely listening to this
Wow RUclips is being really specific 😶
I cry each time I hear this song. So beautiful! What a voice.
Not alone there me thinks
I can't even sing this song without breaking down!!! I miss my mom !!!
Don't cry please
It's almost impossible not to; it's that perfect

Im thinking of using this as my wedding song. I was worried that it might be too cliche, but I love the song. Congrats to you and yours and your mom will be there in spirit.
At last
My love has come along
My lonely days are over
And life is like a song
Oh yeah yeah
At last
The skies above are blue
My heart was wrapped up in clover
The night I looked at you
I found a dream, that I could speak to
A dream that I can call my own
I found a thrill to press my cheek to
A thrill that I have never known
Oh yeah yeah
You smiled, you smiled
Oh and then the spell was cast
And here we are in heaven
for you are mine...
The nurses at work loved this song. Ms James , you got us thru a lot of hard nights. Anything you sang, had it's way of healing.
Soul with class. Don’t get much better than this!
I love listening to this song on rainy days!
Exactly! I'm a sucker for rainy days my favorite weather! :)

Thanks for this, and thanks for making the lyrics fit the timing of the song.
*i could listen to her voice until God finally brings me home*
Why not listen to God instead? Start off with the ocean, and continue on to a breeze in the high branches...
Me too my friend. The most Beautiful music ever .
*Adam Phillips, Dani Sullivan* The most timely & excellent recommendation for any of us in this over-rushed, stressful life... Your suggestion was for Aaliyah N, of course, but Thank You nonetheless. That's exactly what I've gotta do ❤❤

When music came from the heart, the expressions were real. Thanks Etta
Hello Anthony
This song reminds me of my good friend Tino. This song reminded him of his late wife and he missed her every single day. I seen him cry for her every time he heard this song. Rip Tino I know you are with the love of your life now
I’m playing this in New Year’s Eve when 2020 ends this year has been terrible
You. Are so right Terrible wt a capital T
I will play this with you.
Definitely! But what happens if we have four more years of hell? Say Trump wins again, coronavirus, three more years, lose jobs for two years, trouble with China, new swine flu virus ( discovered last month)....
2020 has truly been one of the worst ever for me. Not only are we all having to deal with this pandemic but I also lost my fiance. He went home to heaven at 3pm on May 18th, 2020. I miss him so very much it hurts!!! I will love and miss you always and forever my love!!!
