    Thanks for posting!!

  • Bless you DARLING

  • Rip Ms. Etta :(

  • Everything is right with her voice. Flawless. A true artist. Sing in Heaven Etta.

  • Ridiculous! What does the color of your skin have to do with anything, concerning music.

  • Like NO OTHER!

  • Comment removed

  • got to admit, I just listened to the Ella Fitzgerald version, and I'm a massive fan of her music, and it's got nothing on the deep, heartfelt soul of Miss Etta's...

  • Beyonce sucks...if she had gone to American Idol or The Voice...she would not have made it....it is all about the looks.... Glad that back in the days it wasn't so much about the looks but about 'true' talent

  • @flarica64 Ah BABY Beyoce'  is beautiful and done a beautiful job with Etta's songs.I love Etta too!!!! And I am white

  • @angel7748ift Beyonnce couldn't pick a pimple on her ass.

  • @angel7748ift NOBODY has Etta's soul! RIP Ms. Peaches! xx

  • @flarica64 Yup. Have you seen a female singer lately who wasn't beautiful? However, it is a fact that beautiful people have an advantage in every occupation, not just as singers. There is a saying, if they give you a choice between luck and talent, pick luck. I would also say, if they give you a choice between good looks and talent, pick good looks.

  • 500 thumbs up

  • Hey Beyonce, 3 words: YOU FUCKING WISH

  • Why the good, amazing people that touch our lives with their unique melodies have to go, Etta, I'm from a different era though, your songs and voice will forever be part of my life. RIP!

  • bye etta....now go sing with amy........

  • Ohhh that was so beautiful that is the element that is lacking that feeling from a artist not just a performance!

  • Etta did not record much Jazz....But this is an example of her range and vocal skills.

    A magnificent version of this tune.....

    .....and a different taste of what she could do to peoples hearts...I teared up when I heard the news that she had passed.....as I am now listening to this.

    Gob Bless and keep you Etta....Sing on in heaven.

  • sweet sweet etta....u will be remembered w/love<3

  • I have been so grateful for the many years that great soul singers gave me wonderful soothing sense of humanity. The world is a big place and the accord of her music touches the universe in harmony. I sense that the future generation will crave to have known Etta James and her voice of beauty and the messages she conveys to the world. "The very thought of you..." it begins the beauty of words that convey a sense of relationships with humans and their sense of tune and the listening of senses.

  • RIP

  • RIP Blessed with the Precious & Priceless Gift of God to hear your beautiful voice singing to us. Your Angelic face we gazed upon. Now you gaze upon the Master of the Miracles who created you.You will be missed, but well remembered..

  • Rest in peace beautiful lady and thank you for the music that has made my life a happier life.

  • RIP Ms Etta. You Are The Voice of a Generation. I'm Glad It Was Mine

  • @ausetkmt i wish it was mind too.. lol everytime i talk about her my friends are like "who's Etta James??"

  • @oxoxtina because many kids from this generation do not know what music is.

  • @ausetkmt AMEN!!

  • Stunning

  • Etta, you're one of a kind. Thank you for the music! RIP!

  • Please excuse my caps sorry.As i look today at her variety of music, it' seems to be obscure in this age of music.Of her beauty inside and soul.Really not appreciated from the general public and recognized as a great singer / artist as it should of been.Any one agree? enough of me.Love you again.Miss Etta.

  • THIS IS THE OLD SCHOOL SOUL TO ME I'M 55 PLUS. I REMEMBER HER SONGS IN HIGH SCHOOL IT WAS BEFORE ENGLAND INVADED AMERICA. AND BEING A MUSICIAN MYSELF SINCE HIGH SCHOOL WE THOUGHT SHE WAS SO SOULFUL. IN THOSE DAYS WE DIDN'T HAVE ALL THE MUSIC SHE DID BUT SHE DID SOME BEAUTIFUL SONGS THAT I DIDN'T KNOW SHE RECORDED..WOW! YES (SUNDAY KIND IF LOVE) WHAT MORE CAN YOU ASK FOR.(THE VERY THOUGHT OF YOU)AND THAT (SOMETHINGS GOT A HOLD ON ME) KNOCKED ME OUT THANKS BLESS

  • so great !!!!

  • THIS BEAUTIFUL LADY TEARS ME UP. TEARS TODAY,OH, WHAT A GREAT VOICE THAT CAN'T BE COPIED.ALSO THIS WOMEN COULD GET DOWN TO THE BONE WHEN SHE WANTED TOO.SO MUCH SOUL LOVE YOU ETTA. PEACE WITH OUR HEAVENLY FATHER.

  • @49roth : AGREED 100%. What a wonderful, strong powerful woman this world lost today.

  • This is just so good and mellow... RIP Etta, RIP

  • One of her very best recordings. And that arrangement! -- the piano and sultry sax makes my mouth water for a dry Tanqueray martini.

  • another leaf has fallen from the tree.......you will be missed......thank you for your presence on this earth...what a VOICE.......will live on and ON.....................

  • An iconic soulful voice remembered by so many, and sure to be discovered by yet many more, (even the sad ones who dis her now.) Numerous great musicians today credit Ms. James for inspiration. I've always loved to sing this song myself, but Etta sang the guts and heart out of it like no other I know! Thank you, dear Etta, for showering us with all the love and life you knew how to deliver with your music. Your spark will burn on. While we miss, but keep, you always, sweet forever dreams, Angel.

  • Peace be with you Etta. May you be blessed on your journey! You will be greatly missed.

  • R.I.P., Dear Lady...The angels just gained another amazing star in their heavenly choir. Thank you for the gifts you left us here on Earth.

  • RIP Etta...sing sweetly where-ever you are! You will be missed & remembered always! OxO

  • STU-NNING. I just heard the news that sweet Etta is now with her maker. We are blessed to have had her beauty and one-of-a-kind voices with us here. Her legend will always live on! May God continue to bless you, Etta! We LOVE you, sweet girl! XO

  • Sleep sweetly you will be missed.

  • @kellie7573 She isn't gone yet, but sadly, it seems she may be soon joining that great group of blues ladies in the sky...like Bille Holliday, for example. When I get to heaven, I want to be seated in THAT section.

  • AND AS U SPOKE IT THREE WEEKS AGO TODAY MRS. ETTA JAMES HAS WHEN TO JOIN THE BLUES LADYS MAY HER SOUL REST IN PEACE GOOD JOB U MAY REST NOW

  • @ladycraddieth1 I have a heavy heart...but we know she is no longer suffering, she is at peace. Rest in peace, dear Etta, and thank you for a lifetime of unforgettable music. Your music has punctuated all of the important events of my life, my wedding, my children. Love you!

  • CLL (leukemia) while incurable is survivable. You can live a normal life.

  • ~MS. ETTA...LISTENING TO YOUR MUSIC..YOUR BEAUTIFUL VOICE.....AS I LISTEN, YOU ARE FIGHTING FOR YOUR LIFE AND THAT MAKES ME SAD,HAD A CIGARRET AND COFFEE FOR YOU...THEY SAY YOU ARE TERMINAL..IF SO SWEET LADY ,,,GO GE WITH GOD AND SING WITH THE ANGELS,,,,TIL WE MEET AGAIN <3 U

  • Amazing ! What a treasure.I had the honor of seeing her once.I WAS BLESSED ! We love you Etta !

  • @Tay555Tay now we might be losing Etta now

  • @PatrynXX I know praying for her <3

  • Este sax ao fundo...

  • This woman can do no wrong.

  • @cannoir What are you 13?? Geez... Why was that necessary? You could have just said, "she could sing" without the put down. Some people have absolutely no class. She in turn has all the class in the world. She would probably say something in reply like," thank you, I think chipmunks are cute, too." May we see your pic, please?? Try to think before you type next time, please.

  • whoa

    

  • FIRMEEE ROLLAA I LOVE ETTA JAMES VOICE ON THE REAL SHES GOT A BUNCH OF CLASSICS THT MAKE MY DAY SO MUCH BETTER. THX FOR THE POST

  • phat vocals

  • Outstanding artist doing an oustanding interpretation of this great classic.

  • Does anyone know who the tenor player is?

  • @jazzmann1984 red holloway i think

  • TIMELESS ~:) THANK YOU

  • .Etta james was colouring her hair all sorts of styles,,,people are foolish these days to hate so much on Nicki minaj and little kim.But then again they act like and looklike HOokers..BAD role models

  • Thanks for checkin out my page and subbin me! Luv ya! <3

  • Just a very good song and singer. Enjoy...

  • it isn't about Adele and Amy(RIP) wanting to sing like them but the soul music being represented in our modern world. We need singers like Adele and Amy to represent the new generation of soul and jazz. Lets not let this wonder music died out.

    Etta James music makes feel calm, thank you

  • such relaxing soulful music . a few drinks with a close friend and etta james playing on the stereo .....sigh .......greg......australia.

  • AGAIN what a voice--sultry doesn't begin to describe it. Love you Etta.

  • There is one big problem listening to Etta's music...it makes you want to be in love.

  • @KissHope seriously.

  • @KissHope So true mate, I want to go out right now and find a lady with

    a voice like this!!!!!

    Imagine having a night when you couldnt go to sleep and she just cuddled up to you and sang in your ear!!

  • @edrusharry

    There is only one Etta and we will probably never hear another voice like her's. Not to say you can't find a bird to cuddle and play Etta's music! LOL

  • @KissHope i know

  • @KissHope 

  • @KissHope - not only does it make you want to be in love - but it also makes you remember how it feels when he breaks your heart OVER & OVER again....

  • @KissHope very true, damn what a voice

  • @KissHope Well said

  • @KissHope

    Exactly true.

  • It takes me back,way back! I love it,thank you for sharing this great vocal.

  • la cioccolatina dai capelli biondi preferita...

  • @AdeleFan96 Apples and oranges sweetie. Adele is a wonderful singer, but I doubt she considers herself better than Etta James.

  • She had asian eyes.

  • Etta was sassy!!! Very well put 2gether...thank you for thinkin of folks in my time and era!

  • @LADIBUGEE54 Etta is STILL sassy. She'll be 74 in January.

  • Not over done, it just takes you home.

  • Absolute Class.....although I don't sign up to the ' they don't sing like they use to these days'....there'll always be great singers coming through in every generation...dispite what alnf01 says above, singers like Adele are talents in their own rights and at only 21 I'm sure become one of the all time greats !

  • Thank goodness that I grew up in an era that had artists like Etta.

    You know?...Back when Talent was a prerequisite.

    If I had to listen to the music on the radio today when I was growing up I would probably be as dull as the rest of "GenerationWTF?".

    People like Justin Bieber* and Miley Cyrus* would never have made it into a studio back then.

    Without Auto-Tune they would have sounded like kids playing with a Mic.
