Etta James - Baby, What You Want Me To Do (Original Stereo)

[LOCKED121]

If you didn't know she was great or thought she only did At Last, you would only have to play the first minute of this to realize how great she could sing. Great job- doubt if Beyonce can try this one!

[Mzjuicypeach]

R.I.P ETTA JAMES

[dragonflyshards]

Daaamn That was one funky chick!

[lolgeweldig]

[TheDoxster]

Sweet Etta, now you show those angels what the blues is about.

[shavemypubebeard]

booioioioioioioioioingngngngng­n

[eightfingertom]

whoever is was that disliked this. Is probably insane!!!

[skekze]

I would like to thank her for simply being the siren she was. Thanks for teaching me what the Blues really are. Pain woven into something ecstatically beautiful. I bow to a master.

[mpopeube]

Phenominal

[1954771]

In the original Jimmy Reed version he sings"Baby why d'ya wanna let go." 

[McPrfctday]

Nice innuendo at the start lol :) That chicken / duck reminded me of you baby.

[bthomas985]

im surprised a country artist hasn't remade this song yet!!!!

[dan1elpess0a]

Where are songs as GREAT as this one nowadays? If you wanna listen to good music, just look back to the past.

[80sbaby31]

Love , Mememory of Etta James

[expulsado]

[Fluviblue]

YOU TAKE OFF THAT DISLIKE RIGHT NOW.

[chocoholicSISTA263]

dam another soul legend gone..R.I.P. etta :(

[tacticalkimchi]

Never heard of Etta James till today, but wow... Her voice is soulful and real smooth to listen to.

[SimplyNotTheBest22]

Some people said my voice sounds like hers, but now I listened to some of her songs and I feel praised to heaven that my voice is allowed to sound just a little bit like hers! Etta James, R.I.P., you were wonderful, and still are.

[Diesegrl49]

What a great Lady and Voice.What a great legacy of tune's and people who love'd You to leave behind.Sing with the Angel's Lady.

[SpeakaDaEnglish]

[hotroddoug6605]

[cw605]

I remember the first time I heard Ette she sang Dance With Me Henry, Wow what a song real rock and roll.

RIP Etta

I'm so glad I got to see and hear you, what a great entertainer.

Thanks for sharing.

[gloebee1]

The Besto! Gloria

[runhorun]

RIP ETTA JAMES YOU WILL BE MISSED!!!! MAKE THEM ANGELS JAM.

[Elvisfan731]

This was a good Version by etta..Elvis was much better IMO

[runhorun]

@Elvisfan731 elvis is not soulful ha.

[markbanarsenal]

@runhorun what areyou saying exactly? Elvis wasnt soulful? or are you being sarcastic..Elvis is not soulful ha ( lol) ? cosif your saying Elvis wasnt soulful then your blind and tone deaf my friend ...

[TheMahogany19]

@markbanarsenal elvis is not soulful..trust me he's not, his voice is very superficial...sorry.

[markbanarsenal]

@TheMahogany19 no needto be sorry .thats your opinion, however we beg to differ .. ive listened to elvis for many years and though im not a staunch fan of his rock n roll stuff his early gospel and his ballads are certainly not manufactured..in the ghetto? how great Thou art? the wonder of you?always on my mind? ok not great "soulful" tunes but to say his voice had no "soul" im deffo on a different wavelength to you musically.. guess thats why we are human and all different.bless.

[MrBluesVideo]

Love it!!!

Ciao Etta

[czech698]

wwwgreatbuyoutletscom wwwtopfuelsavercom I am reminded of what Simon is reported to have said when Jesus came to his boat in the early morning, "Master, we have toiled all night, and taken nothing."I would like to again visit Montreaux and view the magnificent Alps across the lovely Lac Léman, from the immense windows and the large balcony of the Hotel Beau Rivage, looking out upon the tremendous snow-banked Dents du Midis exactly opposite, like a keystone at the arch of the lake

[ExiLin77]

ETTA ERES ÚNICA, ESTOY DE LUTO!!!

[23raynsc]

umm umm umm ummm they dont make music like this anymore.

[markfrimmel]

One of the best, ever!

[GirlOfBroadway]

God allmighty I miss this woman...always will..nobody got it quite like you...well, nobody that sang it..an nobody sings it like you...cant listen to the others..forever Queen

[jcextra123]

You can tell the way she spoke in her music, she did not PLAY, she meant what she said and said what she meant

[sham1956]

You will be missed

[Lyrero]

Mother of god, her version is amazing!

[Noragirlie63]

What a gal, what a woman - inspiration to us all, sisters this is the real shit!!!!

[Glow758]

@Noragirlie63 You got that right sister girl, no one can sing like Queen ETTA!!!!!!

[0001andreina]

0:15 q color d cabello tan horrible definitivamente su peluquero era su enemigo xdxdxdxd

[dohboyjac]

anyone got this instrumental

[fiandrhi]

If I had ever met Etta James, I would have proposed. Still in love.

[KidFromDaCity]

We will miss you.. It´s sad that kids of my generation dont event know you, i am sorry for them.. R.I.P.

[1954771]

Elvis covered this in his 68 TV special and during one part of the stand show he did wasn't ment to be recorded but he just did it during a technical hitch and it was recorded in full,it's on Youtube. I have a recording of him at a friends house in 73 doing a rough version of this.

Etta's version is great.

[Nocaro]

@1954771 Of course, both Etta and Elvis "covered" Jimmy Reed's original...Elvis was a huge Jimmy Reed fan covering several of his hits.

[fiream773]

Honey, you lived harder in your first 14 years than most do in a lifetime. The pain you endured throughout your life earned you that voice. I've been spinning all of the old Chess discs this week and thanking God we've had you all of these years. You are truly the Queen of the Blues. May you finally be at peace in the great gig in the sky - RIP, Ms. Jamesetta Hawkins.

[odizdarevic]

sickk!!!!!!!!



[DickWhittington1000]

My respects to Etta's family. BUT have you ever REALLY listened to American pop music before it started to deteriorate? You say Etta didn't sing pop? Whatever you want to classify her as; take a look at our true American music before you hoist Ms. James up too high.

[TheTonedragon]

she and johnny otis died 48 hours apart...he discovered her at 14 yrs old...

[Ronald00o1]

@TheTonedragon WOW thats fate isnt it.

[woodiebluez60]

Sweet mama of sound. Love your layout for her and the song selection...

[sentezmert]

RiP baby

[44elisdad]

I saw her perform this song with the Dead on a New Years Eve back in the 80's I was a little too young at the time to give it the true appreciation that it deserved. I believe John Cipollina was on stage that night as well.RIP Ms. James, Mr. Cipollina, Mr. Garcia, Mr. Mydland, Mr Graham.

Oh yeah I almost forgot, I got to shake Bill Grahams hand that night as well.

[mrtin234]

APESTAS

[mrtin234]

buena musica

[harris1234100]

This song needs a good tenor sax in it.

[TheWorlduk]

Baby i have really got the blues since you have gone..R.I.P...L.D.N family

[joeshittheragman1]

Bye bye, peaches,

[bluesgird]

R.I.P. Sister James.

[TXejas19]

Etta got prettier the older she got.

[lucas07700]

if Aretha is the Queen of Soul, Whitney Houston the queen of Pop, i don't need to say, Etta is and always will be the Queen of Blues. Is sad to say it's too late to say "long live queen Etta", but i'm sure she will live the eternity up in heaven. Goodbye Queen Etta, we'll miss you.

Rest in Peace

[TheLotus2135]

Etta was the Golden girl of the Blues, our own Blues "Ochun".....Such a GIANT siren and with such a amazing talent......RIP, Queen Etta

[sparkyd82]

I listened to kjlh 102.3 fm with Roland Bynum this morning he payed tribute to Ms. James I didn't know but 1 song she sang. After he played all the songs she sang I just wanna know where have I been.

Etta James - Fantastic!!!

[gpwombat]

I saw her live on the College of San Mateo, in San Mateo California. We sat on the grass under a shade tree and listen to this awesome singer performer sing many of the songs you see here in YouTube. Etta James set the tone for the feelings of many of us. She will truly be missed.

[The2Fool]

RIP Etta. Wonderful voice, great artist!

[Mrtsalas]

MIss Etta James just brought the blues to heaven. R.I.P, Miss ETTA

[Mikesdailyjukebox]

[12TheNobleSavage]

@chesshirecatm1 BLUES!

[m1ssour1lady]

Etta sang and lived the blues......I know she's rocking that great orchestra in the sky.....RIP

RIP Etta!!..we will miss you

(and your Stones Coverversion is the best!!)

[FashionIcon27]

I'm sad to say that I am just really listening to Ms. Etta Jame's...and hearing her voice...WHY did they pick Beyonce to play her in Cadillac Records. Nothing at all the same. They should have picked Faith to play her. They have more similiar voices and Faith is thick. Now that I am listening and seeing, no wonder Etta was pissed! LOL...

[Incredible43]

@FashionIcon27 I couldn't agree more.

[mummiabozzi]

nooo.....rest in peace.....i love you Etta...

[beqi13]

This is the fucking blues. Throw your Eric Clapton shit out.

[jimraygilliam]

@beqi13 Amen!!!

[augustwo]

@beqi13 this is great NO DOUBT. But anyone who says "throw your Eric Clapton shit out" is obviously lost and a hater just for the hell of it.

[brujaderio]

Rest and Peace and then come back and sing for us again, sweet Etta.

[fullnika]

D.E.P. (Descanse en Paz) querida Etta !!!!

[Clintreno]

All the modern Music comes from Blues!

[MrTejano44]

She is too much ! Wow !  :))) !

[jayze10]

I saw her a few years back in a New Years performance in San Francisco. She had the place rocking. I was 5 when she came out with her hit Roll With Me Henry - which they took off the air because they said it was vulgar.  Etta will always be one of the greatest.

[mincjg]

this lady is one of our best blues singers , and i pray that she is in a safe zone with the father , i will forever love her music and lyric. love you etta.

[bbequette1]

I just heard about Etta's terminal illness..we're going to be losing another great one. Queen Bee will live on though!

[RandyGblues]

She did an Austin City Limits (which I wish I had a DVD of). She treated the microphone like.. well.. I wish I had been the mic that night. It was about the sexiest, nastiest performance I had ever seen.

[1954771]

@RandyGblues Elvis covered this in his 68 special.Just heard about Etta what a shame we could loose a legend soon.

[cozener1]

Tremendous!!!

Good shag song!

Botões de Rosas Colham estes botões de rosas que esta na porta do teu coração, enquanto podem! O velho Tempo passa e continua passando muito rápido: E essa mesma flor que hoje esta lhes sorri, Amanhã estará expirando. Colham não deixe para depois O sol, lume a terra brilhando no jardim, Quanto mais brilhar, Mais cedo encerrará sua jornada, E mais perto estará de se apagar. Colham este botão de rosas que esta na porta do teu coração, enquanto Não deixe a chama do amor se apagar.
