Product Description
From Amazon.com
Few vocalists can muster the power and sass of Etta James when she's rocking the mike on classic R&B tunes like "Tell Mama" or "Something's Got a Hold on Me." But James also had a way with a ballad, and her sensitive readings of songs such as "At Last" and "All I Could Do Was Cry" made her a fan favorite in the early '60s. Had she not been sidelined for a while by an addiction to heroin, today we might think of James, not Aretha, as the Queen of Soul. Because this set offers only 11 cuts, it's generally inferior to Her Best: The Chess 50th Anniversary Collection, which boasts 20 tunes. Still, it's a satisfying intro to the delightful "Miss Peaches" nonetheless. --Daniel Durchholz

This review is from: Best Of (Audio CD)
Etta is my favorite Lady Of Blues by far. I bought this cd for the song,"At Last," but my favorite is, "Trust In Me." It WILL be played at my wedding.She is amazing. Order this cd now!

WAIT! WAIT! STOP THE WEDDING!,

This review is from: Best Of (Audio CD)
After hating Etta's "Seven Year Itch," album, a friend gave me a copy of this CD for my birthday. I listened to it several times all the way through and was won over. I listen to it all the time now. "At Last," appears in several different movies including Father of the Bride 2. But I'd have to say that my favorite song on the entire album is "Stop the Wedding."
