I have a thought,if you don't like her or her music,how about keeping you bullsh&t comments to youself.She was and will always be one of the greatest motown singers there ever was and there will never be another like hands down.
Flo Rida - Good Feeling has 46,385,864 views, Avicii - Levels has 13,211,967 views, Pretty Lights - Finally Moving has 7,284,725 views, and this has 1,678,007 views. In my opinion, the biggest travesty is that it's not the other way round.
great singer, see miss etta was rockin the blond way before this new r&b chicks. this is a real soul singer not the chick adele please they praise her cause she white!!!!!!!!!! but that's amercian and white folks lol
RIP Etta, there will never be another like you. You were the greatest. I saw you in late 67 or early 68 in the Troubador in LA, CA, you sand this song and I was amazed. I;ve been your fan my whole life, I am 63. Thanks for a lifetime of great music.
ms.etta will be missed !But singers like that encourage writers such as myself to write songs that speak to the heart. Come back soon by b.j. Daplhws is also that type of song.
@VDxSirLeRouxxQC flo riders song is just his crappy rapping over Aviciis song Levels. Its Levels that you really like. this song is way better than avicii and flo riders versions.
People check out the album cover of Etta James Rock the House LP It has Etta James with cast on her arm and performing hard and pointing her finger at the camera man its on the album cover. I dont Beyonce would do that.
@lglglggl Many musician/performers lip-sync'd their material. Others did their songs right...in Real Time. Such as, obviously, in Etta's instance. Recommend seeing the Barbara Lynn clips, too.
wwwgreatbuyoutletscom wwwtopfuelsavercom With congenial companions, a deck of cards and a box of chips, and a little something to drink, I could forget the rest of the world until the last white bone had been tossed into the yawning jack pot. I don't know whether I would recommend the sport or not; I doubt if I would recommend anything if I thought my advice was to be followed. Everything depends on one's point of view of life. the most satisfactory part of life is the time spent in sleep,
When I first heard Janis Joplin I thought "man that's Etta James' sound". The main stream music industry was lifting up Janis Joplin and never mentioned Etta James. I thought it was unfair at the time. But history seems to have corrected that oversight and Etta James has gotten her just due...thanks
@sonwamac Yes, but Etta James deserves so much more. She's in both Avicii and Pretty Light's most popular songs (Finally Moving and Levels), and recently was made a part of Flo Rida's "Good Feeling." Some people don't even know Etta James is the original!
@SeniorMojo Her birth year is 1938. These wonderful shows were filmed in 1966. They (26 shows altogether) are available on DVD. Check out the Wikipedia page on The !!!! Beat.
Etta never sang it the same way twice - she was totally in the moment with all her soul. Words will never describe properly her art - it is just heard and felt. Etta - may your cosmic journey be the best possible taking you to where it is the Best. Love to you dear beloved bodhisattva!
Thumbs up if Flo Rida/ Avicii sent you here LOLZ I NEED ATTENTION BECAUSE MY LIFE SUCKS I NEED GREEN THUMBS TO FEEL APPRECIATED!
Seriously, shut the fuck up majority of you tube and enjoy the god damn music you have been given, if you really need that much attention, get the fuck off you tube and do something with your life. I am here because I appreciate good , classic music, not that hot mess Flo Rida or that generic DJ Avicii.
JAH26 THERE IS NO NEED TO SWIER AT ME JUST BECAUSE I DID NOT LIKE HER TYPE OF MUSIC .any way i only played the song as its one of the old type of songs my brother was playing to us a few weeks ago ,at 73 its been a good long life,
This is the Voice. Pain and sincerity can only create music that sounds like this. This woman was the epitome of soul, emotion, and performance. improvisation as she see fit, a backing band and a shitty mic, the real meat of jazz....thats all you need if you have IT within you. She is the Mother to all these present day emulators, these soulless voices that came after....Take note singers of today, and then give up. Mama don't play.
@koptok0 ur a fucking idiot. pretty lights stole this from her and flo rida stole it exactly word for word from pretty lights finally moving get hip to music or shut the fuck up
