I always think of the Gal I loved and lost when this was in the charts - biggest mistake of my life. Can't hear this without it touching my soul. Love you Rod. You're one of a kind
I remember being off school with the flu & playing never a dull moment over & over again for a week, this & mamma youve been on my mind stood out for me
"I'd Rather Go Blind" is a blues song written by Ellington Jordan and co-credited to Billy Foster. It was first recorded by Etta James in 1967, released in 1968, and has subsequently become regarded as a blues and soul classic.
SUPERLATIVO!! Amo questo pezzo musicale, geniale e orecchiabile all'infinito!!!! Peccato che la vita sia cosi corta per tutti, anche per chi ascolta! Grazie Etta!!!!!!
Apparently, Etta James liked Rod Stewart's cover version of her hit, the best.....I would have to agree.....though I do like the late great Koko Taylor's version as well.
I agree. He has the voice, different though it is from Ms James, and he has the feeling. Is it really true to say I’ve been a fan of Rod’s for 50 years and still find new things to say about his performances. A true professional.
@@jeremydyer4365 What a name you mention there. The queen of the blues Dame Koko taylor. Rod , Etta , Koko, it just dont get much better. It really doesn't.
This isn't the original, it's just one of many covers out there.. There is and can only be one original version, sung by the original singer Etta Jones.
It does say RIP Etta. I think whoever posted this put "Original" to indicate it's from the album (Never A Dull Moment, 1972) and not some later live version or whatever. Yes, it probably could have been worded better.
I get your point but to be honoust most people got to know the version of chicken shack. I see it as a tribute to the giant Etta James was and will allways be. She sang that number live with severall other artists so lets respect her attitude in this and let her Rest in Peace....
Chicken Shack? Great rendition w/Christine Perfect/McVie. But "most people" who got to know the song through it were in the UK. Sadly, the Chicken Shack version never made a dent in the States.
Where do you get the audacity to name this the original when anybody who knows anything about soul music or r&b knows the original was done by Etta James. You need to learn some respect boy. This is about as far from the original song that it could be. In fact I can't think of a worse interpretation of this song. It was meant for a woman to sing. Furthermore Rod Stewart is a song thief. He hasn't done anything original since Maggie Mae. You wanna show Ms. James some respect find a woman who can do justice to the song, a woman who knows what it's like to be fucked around and fucked over. And to be clear, I am a man.
Etta liked Rods version i agree as im a singer that rods version is not in Ettas league BUT its ok...NOW BETH HART!!!!!!!!! That girl can sing!!!!!!! re it being only a womens song i disagree its a blues song and as such its unisex..

I used to listen to this song with my Dad when I was 9yrs old. I always remember him when i play this.
Just amazing
I always think of the Gal I loved and lost when this was in the charts - biggest mistake of my life.
Can't hear this without it touching my soul. Love you Rod. You're one of a kind
Nobody does it any better than our Rod
Rod just does an amazing performance of this song of Etta James...really Love it!
I'd like this song,always !
He nails it....love him..thank you Etta James
This is such a great version of this song, Ronnie Wood's guitar, Ian McLagan's keys and Stewart's vocals... priceless.
Sir Rodrick Stewart voice sounds Great
Of all of Rods songs this this is my favourite, and my favourite version of I'd rather go blind.
Sir Rod - you sing this blues song wonderfully !
Well done !
You deserve all the acolodes you have received over your long career !
Etta James is not just the singer of the original but she composed the lyrics of this classic song.
VERY nice with irreplaceable voice, very special voice
This is possibly Rod Stewart's finest moment.
I remember being off school with the flu & playing never a dull moment over & over again for a week, this & mamma youve been on my mind stood out for me
Love this song 🎵

So do I.... it's a great tear jerker but crying has its own way of healing us.
Linda música
R.i.p. Etta
Kenangan masa kecilku brooo
I didn't know Rod Stewart sand this. Listened to Etta James, Beyonce and this version. They are all different and wonderful!
Thans you , Rod Stewar I love your songs ... they sweeten my heart . adoro tus canciones ... endulzan mi Corazon
wonderfull!!
Thank you Etta James for this
excellent version. brill.
Great song, Love It. For me Koko is the best, but Etta and Rod can bring it too. Nikki Y is also the young voice who can feel it.
Uma linda música e uma interpretação maravilhosa do Rod Stewart.
al 100% de lo mejor en esta versión...
he has the sexiest voice in the world!
This is my favorite song of rod stewart iluv ya
Christine McVie (Chicken shack) sang a great version of this. RIP Christine.
my favorite love song
beautiful cover T___T

Cujo Cujo Cujo I'd...
1 of rods best
my song so love this tune by rrod
moja ulubiona
この曲はソロアルバムに入っていたのかな？フェイセズのライブ盤にも収録されていた。この曲がロッドの中で一番好きです。涙がこぼれます❗のぶ😘
I don't know of any other song that is as sad.
Wspomnienia, ej...
*NICE n COOL....!!
Rod Stewart I Rather I Bind
So dificult to sing, he is a master .
Lagunya aseek jadi inget muda
Good but check out his drunk 1973 version. Absolutely amazing
Something told me It was over. When I saw you Walk away from me child
Mine too!! Hi Elvi!! ;-)
We re gonna see Rod at the NEC birmingham UK on 20th jun and cannot wait... Id love to hear this live but who knows whats in the set?....
これは、ソロアルバムからのオリジナルですかね？名曲です❗いずれにしても不世出のボーカリストだと思います。あとはポール・ロジャース辺りかな❓のぶ😘
yes I like it
Brilliant Rod... has fuckin' smoky voice rather go blind just to be Jealous guy.
(Original version by Etta James) Beth Hart & Joe Bonamassa omg omg
ettas and rods versions are the best.
Beth and Joe everytime..👍
Christine perfect is perfect...😍
Rod Stewart made this song his own, like all cover songs should be. Other words it's karaoke.
This isn't the original, it's just one of many covers out there.. There is and can only be one original version, sung by the original singer Etta Jones.
Oops! I meant Etta James
james
Etta James did not do the original one either.
@@mooniepeters8426 this IS Etta Jane's song. Every other version sung is a copy.
Nice
I like this song is a song originally sung by Etta James ...
Listen to Christine Perfect and Chicken Shack's version. I think it's great.
mine too
2019 from Indonesia
Listen to Beth Hart and Jeff Beck's version at the tribute to Buddy Guy, that's damned good, too!!!
Just now noticed the similarities between Rod Stewart and Robert Plant's voice. I kind of wonder what that would sound like...🤔
and beth hart omg the best
I am going to agree on this one. Beth Hart's rendition of this song is sung by a woman who is soul and sorrow combined.
The addition Original is just a Fools wish Late Etta James is the original (Whatch her life story)
yes sir he does ok but she is the Queen
I love Etta James she was awesome !
It does say RIP Etta. I think whoever posted this put "Original" to indicate it's from the album (Never A Dull Moment, 1972) and not some later live version or whatever. Yes, it probably could have been worded better.
I get your point but to be honoust most people got to know the version of chicken shack. I see it as a tribute to the giant Etta James was and will allways be. She sang that number live with severall other artists so lets respect her attitude in this and let her Rest in Peace....
Chicken Shack? Great rendition w/Christine Perfect/McVie. But "most people" who got to know the song through it were in the UK. Sadly, the Chicken Shack version never made a dent in the States.
I would consider Christine Perfect with Chicken Shack as the best version.
Written by B. Foster and E. Jordon
original???? Etta James wrote and sang it.
Ain't nobody can do this song but Etta but good, very good try :)
Even better than Etta James..
Not sure about that.
Etta James was killing it here:
Iruclips.net/video/uZt1xKtPbUQ/видео.html
I thought Buddi guy wrote it? NO? wow ! Listen to Beth Hart sing it ..it's the BEST!
great version by Etta james but non comparable to Rodders, the greatest male voice in the world
Love y Rod.
still a NO here too. move on
Not original
Where do you get the audacity to name this the original when anybody who knows anything about soul music or r&b knows the original was done by Etta James. You need to learn some respect boy.

Etta liked Rods version i agree as im a singer that rods version is not in Ettas league BUT its ok...NOW BETH HART!!!!!!!!! That girl can sing!!!!!!! re it being only a womens song i disagree its a blues song and as such its unisex..
Awful. But better than his version of Shotgun Wedding.
