  • Etta is the woman!!!!!!!!!!

  • Wow so cool thanks for posting

  • & thanks for sharing this, Donyel..

    Ya never can be too careful, for sure>>

    Etta says it just like she sees it. I like that!!

  • fantastic share, sad reminder of life, and those who got a bone 2 pick and mess you up.. I love this, good timing, thanks!!

  • I like the original version of this song by Ann Peebles. More Soul.

  • Sing it. Etta!!!!

  • Hmmm...thought I commented on this:-)...you know it's neat and you are a natural.......

    Peace Family

  • She had a song with the line

    "Mama cooked a chicken, she thought it was a duck"

    in it... does anyone know the name of the song

  • This is an Album with Eddie "Cleanhead" Vinson and it's a live album. It's amazing! I think it's called "The Late Show" and the song is "baby, what you want me to do"

  • beware is the name of the song.

  • The song is "Baby What You Want Me To Do"

    Mama Cooked A Chicken

    She Thought It Was Duck

    She Put It On The Table With Its Legs Straight up... I love you baby

    You got me running you got me hiding

    She sings it live with Joe Walsh and Albert King....It's a line taken from an old blues song called the "Ducks Yas-Yas"...

    I had never seen this video and this is one Etta album I don't have and I may have to get it...If you haven't heard her disc Seven Year Itch....its great

  • A w☺nderful person with a w☺nderful voice is singing a w☺nderful s☼ng :-D ♪♫♪♫=♥

  • u got that right LT :D

  • Everything that yall are saying about Beyonce is the same bullshit they said about Jamie Foxx. "Oh, he won't do that good", "They need to get a more experienced actor". Jamie had all of the haters looking like fools when the movie came out. As long as Etta likes it, your thoughts don't mean shit.

  • All I can say is "There is a Lady..." I listened to Etta James now, what have I been missing... Miss Beyonce had better do her homework if she wants to do service to herself.

  • Beyonce fans looking at Beyonce not Etta James. Anyone think Beyonce could play Etta James, they don't know Etta James. Etta James is cut from another cloth. Beyonce will not be able to wear this cloth. You need a real professional actress to play this roll. You ever play Etta James needs to be around Etta one on one basic, to get to know her life story. Like Jamie Fox was with Ray Charles for weeks before he decided to play Ray Charles and he did a good job during it. Etta James book is amazing

  • And that's why Beyonce HAS been working with Etta James. Beyonce's has the best teacher just like Jamie did.

  • I get what you are saying. I am a fan of both(Bey and Etta) and even Etta at first said that she had some tepidations. But I think part of the problem is how people percieve Beyoncé. I like what Stokley from Mint Condition said about her. That underneath the commericalism and image, is a real artist. I agree. And before Dorothy Dandridge was auditioning for Carmen Jones, the director didn't think she could do it because of her iamge but she blew his socks and we all know what happened later.

  • I just think people need to give her(Bey) a chance. If they won't, then don't watch the movie. And as for singing, Beyonce lower register is very strong and her voice period has matured even from 2006. Will it be as good as Etta, probably not. But I don't think a professional actress could fully do it either. Unless, they dub Etta's voice. I just think people need to give her a chance, rather than saying what Bey can't do.

  • Beyonce is going to do Etta a great service. Etta James is working closely with Beyonce as I type, the filming has started already. And trust me this movie is a must see and you will not be disappointed.

  • this have nothing to do with jealous hate , thats the way you concede this message. like i said needs an professional actress. Etta James bend around long enough to have her own life story. She was on drugs a portion of her life. She was around with the best of entertainers of her era. Read her book you will have a better grasps of Etta. If they do a story of her Beyonce will not do it justice. Her turn around from drugs when she song the opening national athemn in the 1984 Olympic

  • Beyonce will not due justice playing Etta James. You need a real actress of substance. I read her book Etta life story i would take a season Actress to play the role. Etta is one of my favorite female singer. Due her Justice.

  • Beyonce will do just fine. Wait to see the movie before you cast your Beyonce jealous hate. And lastly, the movie is NOT about Etta but about mostly about the males like Muddy Waters, Little Willie, Chunk Berry and Beyonce as Etta is just a SMALL portion of the movie.

    Beyonce will do excellent like she always does.

  • esta éa mulher?

  • Etta is the greatest living female blues singer and if you want to be blown away, pick up her CD "Let's Roll" and prepare to be amazed.

  • Beyonce is casted to play her in the Chess era.....The story is about Leonard Chess, the legendary founder of the South Side Chicago blues label Chess Records. The period piece follows the rise and fall of Chess Records, which launched the careers of such R&B greats as Muddy Waters, Etta James and Chuck Berry

  • Beyonce has lost too much weight to play Etta in the Chess Era. Etta's voice came from her body as well as soul, and Etta's stage presence is inimitable by someone as thin as Beyonce. Nor does the timbre of her voice come anywhere close to Etta's. Nope, they need someone else.

  • they need to get someone experienced from Broadway

  • Is it possible to find "All the way down" by Etta?

  • etta tops my list ....ahead of aretha.....erma was my favourite.....just discovered peggy scott adams 18 months ago ....what a voice------ ruby turner seems very under rated here in the uk...why? shes awesome... beverly knight,joss stone not bad .duffy is the one 2 watch right now..... like fist time hearing etta you just know its good .

  • Diva!

  • lol better handle that man, girl! :-P

  • Comment removed

  • wow !

  • wow,where have I been? damn, this lady can sing!!! damn, damn! where did I miss her! she is awesome! I never checked u out when I was listening to blues ages ago. damn. I listen now. u go girl!

  • check out ettas c.d. burning down the house. espesally the song , suger on the floor

  • sugar on the floor is one of my favorites of Ettas also,i too just redescovered etta a few years ago.she is undoubtedly one of the masters and she is timeless,rock on Etta,we love you baby!!!

  • Go Etta! This was great.

  • Get Down Etta James!  Love it!

  • This is my favorite song by Etta James.

  • This is your fav song by Etta James? This song is good, but have you even listened to her songs from the CHESS era?

  • I think that's her son Donto on the drums.

  • love this woman! love her sound !

  • Etta did two incredibly great lps in the late 80's early 90's on Island and this masterful video is from the second one...this should have been huge but sadly received no exposure~so much for brain-dead radio and enjoy a master at her peak!!! Bravo Etta James!!!!!

  • Yes, those are two of my favorites, too.

  • The two albums from the Island Sessions are "Seven Year Itch" & "Sticking To My Guns". These two releases have a great sound, in fact seeing her on the Johnny Carson Show singing "Damn Your Eyes" & "Jump Into My Fire" were how I became an ardent Etta James fan. She is so damn good, words can't describe her talent. Why this video got no play is beyond me. These albums are absolutely great.

  • Etta was rocking and red hot on The David Letterman Show doing "I Got The Will" when the classic "Seven Year Itch" was released...this is Etta at her best and hopefully somebody has a clip of this great performance!

  • This video show that Ms. Etta James still got her "VooDoo Blues" going strong!!!!

  • yeah!!!! great music.
