Obviously, from her accent Zapp Mama is not from the US. This is a GREAT ETTA JAMES SONG, and this recording DOES NOT COMPARE IN ANY WAY WITH HERS. ETTA'S IS MOST DEFINITELY BETTER! The background vocals are very interesting and unique in this recording, but Etta's voice and delivery of the song is MUCH BETTER. You took a BLUES song, and made it a pop song. It's better as a blues song. MUCH better.

@TheBluesBabe Zap mama is unique and has an own style, she's not trying to copy Etta James (and yes Etta is GREAT) she brings this song in honour of, the least we can do is appreciate her version. Oh and Zap mama is a Belgian group
whee! my friend just came from Tunis and told me to check out Zap Mama... after years of exploring music it isn't all that often that one feels he's found something new and really amazing.
@doushka0 different stupid_blonde? no, it's me. ou...different than etta. yeah. but etta is still BETTER, more heart, you know?and...uuu...what a word game...you are, I assume, a smart little brunette! kisses to France
@StupidNotBlonde Listen,dear. <try creating sth for a change and post it. Then people will tell you that Jane doe from up the street does it better. This is just another reading of a work of art. Everybody is free to express themselves. That kind of comment serves nothing and no one- How about trying to explain why you don't appreciate it as much as Etta. That would serve us. Thanxxxx and peace out.
Wow this woman is awesome! Why have I never heard of her? Oh yeah I forgot, radio likes to play the same ole Beyonce', wack rap, substitute soul? music! Then let's not 4get sold out BET! Well I'm going to cop Zap Mama cd, 4 sho!!!
Read your comment on Langston Hughes- Dynamic Poet;
Thought you might want to take a look at this 4 year old reciting The Negro Mother. You'll be amazed. go to you tube type in wonderfulisntit just like this no spaces.
You are right. But I'd like to listen to an entire CD by her. I do like what I'm hearing so far. And I remember you too. You're the gifted one. I really like your style.
If you're feeling more adventurous you might want to check out the very first album. "Zap Mama- Adventures in Afropea" when it was the full group of 5 ladies. It's still an amazing album. She's phenominal.
go for the album "7" - it also includes "damn your eyes" ... i love this album - they also made a hell of a acapella album just called "zap mama" - the album "sabsylma" disapointed me though - good luck in zap world
I love this version as well as Etta's...one doesn't have to be bad for the other to be good.
