The more you dig into the old stuff, the more you learn about your idols' idols.
❤NO other version comes close. This is Etta's song. Everything she sings is🔥🔥🔥
This Lady can sing the Blues.... !!!
I’d rather go blind by Etta James
Definitely I'd Rather Go Blind
That’s my favorite Etta song.
Rod Stewart's cover is awesome.
In the late '60s Christine McVie of Fleetwood Mac also did a better great cover version of "I'd Rather Go Blind" with the band Chicken Shack.
My husband and I had Etta's version played at our wedding reception. This song is timeless.
This song sung by Etta James is perfection! It gives me goose bumps every time. She was truly amazing.
ETTA JAMES sings this song with every fiber of her being - and no one but her will ever do this track justice!
Ms. Etta James was (and will forever be...) in a league all her own...💜
Etta James is a legend. I appreciate her more today than ever. Perfect arrangement for this by the way! Impeccable.
8 year old Angelina Jordan's rendition is a must hear!
The quintessential wedding song.
Etta James, Nina Simone, Billie Holliday and Aretha Franklin just make everything right with the world. Great song choice!!!
I would put Janis in that group. Peace out.
Don't sleep on Sarah & Ella, no last names needed. If you know, you know!!🎤🎼🎤🌹🌹👌
I saw Etta and BB King in concert. One of the best ever…
One word. FANTASTIC !
One of the ten songs you could be stuck on an island with forever.... None better.🎉
Her voice, fabulous, but let us not forget to appreciate the orchestration xnd arrangement.
MS Etta James...The OG!
Another great song from the same era is Fever sung by Peggy Lee. My parents loved it, I love it, and my thirty something children love it. Not to miss!
This song is absolute in the zone perfection.... First time I heard it, it took my breathe away..... I kept waiting for it to get less than perfect, but it only got even more perfect! One of the best pieces of music in recorded history....!...... Enjoy!
She was amazing talent
NICE!!!!❤❤❤❤❤😂 ETTA WAS ONE OF THE GREATEST!!!!!❤❤
My favorite Etta song is "I'd Rather Go Blind"
Stormy Weather! Great Etta James song!
Lena Horne's 1941 version of the song was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame in 2000'
So many great female Vocal Artists from the 50s & 40s are passed over , that genre will thrill you for months
Amen to that!!!
I think this is one of the finest songs ever recorded
The perfect first dance at a wedding. My friend used it. WONDERFUL. :)
In 1961, I was in high school, in love, and given to shutting myself in my room to listen to this. The love didn't last, but the song sure did!
Sunday Kind Of Love and I’d Rather Go Blind!!
All I could do was cry by Etta James
Goose Bumps. And guys, thanks for the great Sound system!! This should be the national Wedding song!!
Etta James was a great singer who covered many different genres, including blues, R&B, soul, rock & roll, jazz & gospel in the 50's-80's. She had an amazing powerful voice. She released "At Last" in 1961 & it became her signature song. She had so many hits such as "The Wallflower", "Tell Mama", "Something's Got A Hold On Me", "If I Can't Have You", "Spoonful", "All I Could Do Was Cry", "My Dearest Darling", "I Just Want to Make Love to You", "A Sunday Kind of Love", "Fool That I Am", "Don't Cry Baby", "Losers Weepers", "I Found A Love" etc.
Guys Etta James - I’d Rather Go Blind (Live At Montreux) 1975… you’re get to see how sassy and amazing she was.
This song is perfection 🔥🔥
❤ this song.
ooo the stankface was wonderful
My wedding song.
Thanks for not pausing this one.
A friend of mine was so taken by this song, he named his whole business after this song
Her 'Sunday Morning Kind of Love' is also so yummy,
Great song! I have heard this mostly in TV and movies. I don't think I ever heard a cover version, it's usually this version. What a full voice! No one can match... Ryan's right that first line is iconic. Would love to dance to this, again! Just a classic!!! Good job!
Nat King Cole "Almost like Being in Love", Frank Sinatra "Can't Take That Away From Me" , Bing Crosby "Always"
Still the #1 most requested 1st dance song at weddings.
Music by humans with no trickery whatsoever. Concept!! ❤
She also has I rather go blind !❤❤❤❤❤
Ahhhh....good stuff......
I love this sultry sound. Ella Fitzgerald's "Summertime" evokes that same feeling for me.
When I listen to this music, I mentally return to the old America of the 50s, this is the old America in which we could not live, I wonder how people perceived this song then.
If you've heard Etta's version, I don't know why anyone would even try to sing this.
They get inspired maybe, but they can't beat her version!
PATSY CLINE!! "Crazy," "Walking After Midnight"....
DINAH WASHINGTON!! "What a Difference a Day Makes"
If you like Etta James then listen to Dinah Washington! My two favorite vocalists ever.
Timeless…belongs on every “playlist”…Respect..
Oooooeeee ❤❤❤
I had a grandmother named Ethel and a great aunt named Beulah. Ethel was born in 1899.
My grandmother was named Verda, born in 1887, died in 1975.
Love Love ❤ Love! This song is EXQUISITE!
You should check out Etta Kames "I'd Rather Go Blind" Live at Montreux 1975 for a truly epic performance.
At last, you've played THE perfect song! Etta James is a class act and excellent singer. Forget all those who have to use autotune to sound just halfway decent. Let me offer a couple of suggestions for songs--Kelly Sweet did a version of "Dream On" (originally by Aerosmith) that is totally awesome. Also, The Moody Blues with their iconic "Nights in White Satin."
Perfect.❤
8:14 Ryan 💥💥💥 excellent points!
There’s her live version from Montreux of her I Rather Go Blind that’s astonishing and deserves every one of its 61 million views
Nice one. Sometimes you have to go way back and find the gems and this is a beauty. Midnight playlist 😊
A lot of the success of this record should go to Riley Hampton who arranged the orchestra part for this song. He transformed it from an obscure upbeat big band piece to an R & B classic.
My husband was a college DJ and when he planned the music for our wedding (20+ years), this was included.
What a classic, guys. Strongly recommend diving into Sam Cooke's amazing catalogue and, of course, Bobby Caldwell's incredible "What You Won't Do For Love" along these same lines in the future.
Sam Cooke yeeesssss!!
@@Inked-Smash Thanks for the reply, Inked. Terrific call with "Sunday Kind of Love." How did I forget that one? 😂 Knowing how the guys love Steve Perry, it makes sense for the channel to visit Sam Cooke's work given his influence on Perry and so many others (like Rod Stewart). Thanks again for the reply and the great recommendations.
Best wedding first dance song ever.
Powerful. The depth, intensity, soulfulness and nakedness of her perfect voice paired with the musicians takes the listener to a whole other place. Loved this reaction.
Don't forget the Glenn Miller Band and sung by Ray Eberle in the 1940s. Suggestions: Anything by Sarah Vaughn.
You guys have excellent taste .
A classic.
Nick, really enjoy your pre - song information, as well as your delivery. Great voice imo, and entertaining. Your facial expressions while listening are spot on. Enjoy the channel👍🏻
❤classic iconic song, thank you for covering it. This is before my time but I appreciate it very much. ❤
You just about cannot get ANY BETTER than THAT, GUYS!! SO: FIRE!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
You'll find other good even great stuff I this era, but nothing.... Better..... Than this. This is history.
At Last at last! Amazing
In the same vein, I'd suggest Patsy Cline's "Crazy" or "Leavin' On Your Mind". Then there's Sinatra: "Luck Be A Lady", "The Way You Look Tonight", "Witchcraft"...
You know how couples often have "their song"? When my wife and I married nearly fifteen years ago, we wanted to pick the perfect song to be OURS. After considering a few, we landed on this one, and it just seemed a perfect homage to our search for one another finally being successful. Another song that I like a lot from my own perspective is "Angel Eyes," by Jeff Healey.
Chills
You don't find class like that in music anymore. ❤
Some other classic hits from yesteryear that you might enjoy are "Crazy" by Patsy Cline (a haunting 1961 ballad written by Willie Nelson, No. 9 pop and No. 2 country); "(You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman" (a ballad co-written by Carol King) and "Respect" by Aretha Franklin, both from 1967; and "Unforgettable" by Nat King Cole (a 1951 ballad) ... there's also a 1991 virtual duet of "Unforgettable" by his daughter Natalie Cole and the late Nat King Cole (it won the Grammy for song of the year at the 1992 Grammy Awards).
Wow! You didn't pause it!! Excellent!! Isn't it just lovely!!?
My momma played this a lot. ❤
What a voice!! 😊
Try "Hurt" by Timi Yuro from 1961. Clean powerful voice, sung with feeling.
Lush strings and sultry voice. Slow dance in the moonlight dreaming. Very nice choice.
Brilliant
Beautiful!!🤘🔥
"Anyone Who Knows What Love Is" by Irma Thomas
Appreciate you guys for not interrupting her, good reaction for sure! 😊
The perfect marriage of song, arrangement and singer. Exquisite. ❤ (P.S. I’d love to see you guys hit some of these older artists again, from time to time.)
I didn't think I knew this, then as soon as she came in, I recognised it, beautiful velvet voice!
Lifetime fave❤❤❤ Another female vocalist with a low voice is Nina Simone, but hers is raspier and more raw. I recommend her version of Leonard Cohen’s “Suzanne”
Absolutely sublime. Arguably, the definitive version of this song. (Jeez, if only we'd be lucky enough to find our "at last", eh?) Often the orchestrations from this time period are too syrupy, but this sounds perfect, and lends a great counter-balance to her soulfulness. Despite her awards, Etta was/is a criminally underrated singer, and had a difficult life, which included heroin addiction, and her contralto vocals helped put "the blues" in rhythm and blues. Her verson of "I'd Rather Go Blind" is amazing, too, and Rod Stewart does a fabulous cover of that song, as well. (I once read that he was inspired by her version.) Thanks so much for reacting to this beauty of a song.
At Last was her signature song, but I think "Sunday Kind of Love" from the same album is even better.
Now do her smoking version of "Feel Like Breaking Up Somebody's Home". Grown folks blues.
In rhythm and blues, a guitarist will often go back and forth with his instrument, like BB King and Lucille. The same thing happens here with Etta and the strings. They sing to each other. Ray Charles knew how to use those strings as well.
Yes, indeed!
If you want to hear some 40's music, I'll be more than happy to send you a list of songs you could listen to that I think you'd like. I'm working on a 40s playlist on Spotify right now and it has been fun going through all those old songs. I'm really surprised how many I actually know, considering even my mom was just a little kid back then. I wasn't even a twinkle.
Beyonce sang this at Obamas inauguration and Etta James was throwing a fit how she should have been asked
Try "I'd Rather Go Blind", you won't be disappointed...
If you're looking for similar types of music, I would suggest Lou Rawls, George Benson, but they are more 70s.
I not sure if anyone suggested but Go For a Soda by Kim Mitchell is worth a listen, if it's not a 1 hit wonder I musta forgot his other ones...
12/8 time where the 8s are triplets.
I’ve suggested Sinatra to you before, but I will say I think his best recordings aren’t usually his “hits.” Maybe try Fly Me To The Moon or Nice and Easy. It’s irresistible.
My request to you guys is 'With a Little Help From My Friends' by Joe Cocker. ❤🙌🏼😁
