So good!From the time that lyrics really had meaning and were not only about "let's drink some more",but I thin it's alright,I always eared that people sing or wright as their experiences in life and nowadays the spoiled kids sing about what they know:nothing.I find it hard to believe in some of the lyrics that are released, meaningless and shallow or about how someone killed another person,or about sex, drugs and alcohol, like if it's ok to live your live under that principals.
I truly feel sad that we have lost such a legend. NO ONE makes music like this any more... all we have is YouTube to bring us back to good music. I hate the music out these days.
@misspiccola11 there's still the singers who were inspired by Etta like Beyonce, Christina Aguilera and Adele- their music stays true and they can all sing :)
I feel so ashamed. :'( (cries into hands) Quinn on Glee sung this song and either she never said who sang this song or I wasn't listening. But I had no idea Etta James sang this song. shame on me.
@MissyjuanitaB Ohh Girl don't worry about the unimportant.....as long as your heart is at the right place, people have no sh*t to tell you. Nobody is perfect we all make mistakes and if spelling is our biggest problem...then make me illiterate with a good heart and knowledge instead of lettered and ignorant in live. Just keep your heart on the right place. Nothing but love..........By te way I love Etta James (L)
Hello ...for all those concerned about my spelling and how I use the english language .I have a Grade 1 at cxc which is eqiuvalent to , your final exam for english at the end of the High school. I set this exam a yr. ago which for any secondary school student is infact a year early! I missed a distintion which would equate to honours in your E.D. system by mere approximate 5 marks. Plz stop telling me crap about staying inschool which I finnish in a couple of months anyway.
GREAT BLUES .... feel me on THIS one ... search YouTube : "IBEW drummer CALL IT" words wrote out in annotations. "early morning inspired" a (by-definition) original inspired by "early in the morning" Harry Nilsson's version Not same song though, also inspired by my "what's-her-name-#1" breaking my heart.
I picture myself listening to this song in a fancy office alone dressed like a 1920's gangster with an empty shot glass in my hand and a half drunk bottle of whisky on a table with a gun next to it...R.I.P ETTA JAMES!
@LilacStar82 A known racist who was known to play on stage with people of color as well as sing their songs, party with them and hang with them?? I would have to disagree with that statement, sorry. Both Etta and Janis were great performers, I was sharing my view and the pain their loss brings. You don't have to turn something pure into something so nasty. Thanks for that.
The voice that is able to "move us " all no matter what your age. If you have a soul, you will love Etta and her music. We can hear her voice when ever we wish. Thank God for that. She will be so missed as her music will live on forever. RIP sweet Etta James. Thank you for your gift of music. Kate K.
MRS. Etta James...You always make me sing with you, I'm telling you...you are a Great and Sweet Soul, I know you are singing in Heaven..God Bless You while i teach these kids today what REAL music is...Thank you...Mrs. Etta James May you have a beautiful journey!
"Its a mans world but it wouldn't be nothin without a woman or a girl" powerful words music with a message........... what happened tah music?? 15 an enjoyin myself here listenin tah tunes with a positive message .............. R.I.P the world of music has sunk to another low Etta......... what are we teenagers tah do go listen tah niki minag stupid hoe. I THINK NOT!! Etta come back plz............ save me an teenagers like me from a world of meaningless trashy music plz......!!
@MissyjuanitaB actually I like Nicki Minaj (at least her beats) but I totally agree with the messages of songs. Nowadays it's all inappropriate and about clubbing.
@namelessdrone thank-u at least someone isn't grilling me............ All of sudden everyone seems to be the worlds greatest and most brilliant english teacher!!!
@MissyjuanitaB rock on sista :))) yr way ahead of the game!! which makes it more dificult in ways, but supremely rewarding!! press on! shine on!! one love *
@MzEllieStarr aaawwww thank u !!!............. and you must do the same , that way the world will be a better place!! Difficult.. ........nah I like a challenge!! I wish more people were positive like you......... !!! You are so right one love and you know what ..... maybe one day people will share it like we do!! :D:D:D
Rest in Peace beautiful, elegant, classy, Etta..Always loved the way you expressed the lyrics in your songs..Will keep playing, and singing your music..such beauty from such tragic stories...and only you could tell it like it was!!! <3
@mhr0yo How many women have the gravity to stand up to song like this and deliver it with a meaning beyond that which the great JB envisioned when he inked this killer r&b wail. Loaded with soul. Mas alma.
@drjimiboy69 There was such a woman, listen to the version by Big Maybelle on Rojac/Chess Records, which was produced by Blowfly aka Clarence Reid, Maybelle's was much rougher and tougher than Etta's. And I don't say that lightly as I, like everyone else here, loved Etta dearly.
RIP but Christina sung that shit 1000000000000000000000000000000 times better but you are her IDIOL They say Christina may have the best voice the world will ever see so we should stand up and listen...her voice may never come around again and she is AMAZING 2012 new Album and the voice:-)
Fabulous. She has been so overlooked for so long. I hope her death revives interest in her voice, as it has for me.
