  • I love this version as well as Etta's...one doesn't have to be bad for the other to be good.

  • Leave it Zap - Etta OWNS this song

  • naaa dont like it

  • My compatriote. She's been singin in an acapella all-group in my native Belgium since the late 80s, early 90s.

  • this song is incredible. i love these sorts of singers like nina simone as well

  • A melhor versão....sou Africano e admiro muito esse grupo....Zap mama é Zap mama...

  • false christ comes first

  • Damn your thigh baby....

  • Mmmmm I'm so addicted to this song right now. I don't care what other people say, this version from Zap Mama is absolutly the most moving! ^^

  • real shit right here ;p

  • Zap Mama is the SHIT people dont even know

  • LOVE IT!! SO QUESTION IF ANYONE KNOWS. so did this use to be a group, of like her and 3 other women? it is just her now?

  • i love this song!!!!! i love zap mama!!!!!

  • 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.

  • @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

  • This is Fucking DREADFUL!!! This is akin to watching a Miley Cyrus version of a Mariah Carey song.

    omg...my ears are bleeding! Make it stop!!!

  • @NormaDesmond1000

    never display your lack of good taste like that norma ;)

  • @NormaDesmond1000 i'd like to hear you try this

  • @MsTheKip

    I wouldn't even attempt to sing it because I have enough sense to realize I have no talent.

  • 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.

  • GORGE INSIDE & OUT AND THOSE VOICES!

  • etta james is better!!

  • @StupidNotBlonde oh hush! lol ;-)

  • @StupidNotBlonde

    it's different stupid___blonde

  • @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

  • @doushka0

    No it's not. It's dreadful.

  • @StupidNotBlonde She is no Etta James thats for sure!! I can not even listen to this version.

  • @StupidNotBlonde stop the hate

  • @ayitinatif how? there are so many people out there hating each other? How could I stop all of them?!

  • @StupidNotBlonde By starting (to stop hating) yourself

  • @ayitinatif well done! you've accomplished your goal by being very smart on youtube. bravo!

  • @adajisusebozevise thank you ,now don't try to take my spot by replying smart ass

  • @StupidNotBlonde

    WHAT ??? etta sucks compared to this

  • @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.

  • @StupidNotBlonde i love etta more than any other, but for this song i have to give my thumb up for zap mama, i love the version

  • 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.

  • amazing song !

  • Wow!!! this tight. I've heard of her, but never really listen to any of her music...Nice post!

  • I think you'd like Poetry Man as well :)

    It's posted on the tube.

  • 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.

  • Well, a friend of mine turned me on to her Ancestry In Progress album, which I own and LOVE, so I suggest u cop that.

    ...and thanks. *blushes*...justa lil bit tho. lol

  • LOL!!!

  • I also recommend some Ginkgo Biloba for your memory.

  • 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.

  • "Zap Mama- Adventures in Afropea" is so very good. A lifetime fav.

  • @2channeltv

    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

  • This is my first time listening to Zap Mama. She's definitely going to have a place in music library.

  • amazing track, amazing voice, 5star.
