About the album

There are wedding songs, and then there's "At Last." Etta James' 1960 recording, all sweeping strings and that honeyed, aching voice, has soundtracked more first dances than anyone could count, and it opens this collection in style.

Born Jamesetta Hawkins, she started out as a teenager in the mid-fifties and never looked back. Here you get the cheeky R&B of "The Wallflower," the heartbreak of "All I Could Do Was Cry" and "Trust in Me," a gutsy "Spoonful" and the gospel-fired "Something's Got a Hold on Me," which has been sampled and borrowed for decades.

She moved effortlessly between blues, jazz, R&B and soul, and few singers have ever matched her power.
