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. RG
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.
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.
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
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.
my dad would play this album in the 60's, every time I hear her sing it brings back such memories, no one ever sung this song better. love ya Amy but you can't touch this
I was looking for Etta James version of this song and this one came up I've never heard of this artist but I 'm happy I came across this music she has a great voice yes I love her beautiful sounds!!!! And I agree it is a masterpiece!!
i knew kathy her daughter. i met her in the late 60's. we both lived in the bronx north bronx. i went to her house and saw the gold record for Don't Go To Strangers on her wall...RIP Kathy and Etta Luv U
THIS IS NOT ETTA JAMES! This is Etta JONES. =)
RIP Etta JAMES.

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.

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.

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