  • THIS IS NOT ETTA JAMES! This is Etta JONES. =)

    RIP Etta JAMES.

  • this is the wrong Etta...Etta James is the one that died recently. not to be confused with Etta Jones.

  • RIP Etta. Sing with the Angels sweet darling

  • R.I.P Etta Jones

  • <3

  • You may say there's nothing better, but Nils Landgren's version is.

  • @carito9106 Nope. JJ Cale does the best cover. Just kidding. It's my favorite though! Give it a listen.

  • etta james**************

  • @ThePaperFalcon No this is Etta Jones jazz singer Etta James is R&B/Blues

  • omg so beautiful<3

  • Etta was one of the most loving people to ever grace the planet and a dear friend. The beauty in her voice was the reflection of her soul.All her friends miss her madly but we can have her beside us again with a listen to any of her great recordings.I personally have 27 CD's, so there is a wealth of musical delight waiting for you from this GRAND LADY.

  • Etta is Etta no one will be like her, but i certainly must say that Amy Jade Winehouse did a great cover of this song with Paul Weller....Amy put emotion to the song...Again Etta James is etta.

  • forever great, touching....

  • I like the accompaniment to Etta's version it is simple and relaxed, the accompaniment of Nancy Wilson's version is much more involved and lush.

  • So relaxing!

  • Wow! where have I been? This rendition of a lover's plea is heavenly. A voice and an arrangement captured for the ages. I will be adding Etta Jones to my collection. thanks for sharing. Otherwise, I might have missed something this wonderful.

  • Greatly appreciated.

    Etta Jones was, like so many other great jazz singers, underrated beyond comprehension.

  • She realy was something special,and i believe a realy nice person,she will be sadly missed throughout the world , and she had that unique voice.,as did billy holiday. thanks for the memories etta. Wassa

  • fantastic voice !

  • got to be the very best version of this wonderfull song. No frills just pure quality.  Graham wassa

  • @warri1000 It is my favorite version too... and I have a few versions by some excellent singers, Nancy Wilson, Janis Siegel, Chaka Khan, et al.

  • Yeah, Nancy's version is one of my favorites, too.

  • Just love this version!

  • Wonderful version of this standard! I can't stop listening!

  • great. makes me want to cry too. she really touches my heart.

  • Pure beauty, and a great rendition of this song – though my favorite is still Eydie Gorme's. You can catch a teaser of her version on Steve and Eydie's official website, and select the album Don't Go To Strangers / Softly As I Leave You. Maybe one day she'll post it.

  • This is a GREAT album.  Not a clunker in the bunch. Includes a wonderful version of "Fine And Mellow" as well. The B-side of "Don't Go To Strangers" ("If I Had You") can also be found on it, worthy of a gold record of its own.
