Etta James

One of the hardest things to do as a musician (and maybe this is true of life in general, now that I think of it,) is to maintain a story at a slow tempo. In this live version of At Last, Etta James succeeds  in a way that keeps you on the edge of your chair.

A decade earlier she was captured live at Montreux with Damn Your Eyes

I hope I have such passion when I'm past 70.

RIP Etta James.
