"At Last" was introduced in the 1942 20th Century Fox motion picture Orchestra Wives by Glenn Miller and His Orchestra featuring Ray Eberle on lead vocals. In the movie, Pat Friday sings a duet with Ray Eberle. On the 78 single release, just Ray Eberle is featured. The song became a pop and jazz standard way before Etta James covered the song in 1960. Nat King Cole and Ray Anthony recorded the song in the 1950s. The Ray Anthony version was a huge pop hit in the early 1950s before Etta James.
Finding musicians on YouTube that play the ORIGINAL, not Etta's cover rendition is a difficult task today.
After Etta went off on the Pres & Beyonce, I found out the Original had been recorded twice by GM band in '41 & '42!
Original singer was Pat Friday the Ghost voice of Lynn Bari. The #2 PinUp Girl (to Betty Page) & charted top of HIT PARADE for 2months. Ghost voices were to be heard, Not Seen. Glenn & 20th Century Records made sure of that. There's a web page tribute to Pat Friday! :D

Very nicely done, but it was famous before Etta James ever got to it. A hit record for Glenn Miller in 1942.

Very nice. If I close my eyes I can almost see Glenn leading the band and the soldiers dancing with the young ladies.
