[Samuelfcampbell2003]

Each to their own 'cause. I love her and sly's version...!:*)

[Skeletine]

I actually just didn't like this.. this version has no personality or dynamics. Bleh.

[BobbyJimmy99]

@Skeletine numpty!

[keithtoney1123]

Great, Etta at the apex, sax is on, how can this by disliked. Ears work?

[acurvygrrl]

I've never heard her sing this & it is fabulous~& how could it NOT be?, great song & it's ETTA!

[childsupportscams]

All versions of this song are great, ya know why? Because it's a DAMN GOOD SONG with a SMOKIN' BASS LINE!

[OfficialPrinceAley]

[EkoJisBack]

woaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaw

[Kevo216666]

Oooohhh.... Nice version. :)



[mookie6869]

If you like this....check-out The Sky is Crying. Excellent stuff !!!

[mookie6869]

Etta's got that swanky funky sound I look for in blues.....that's what made me love this song when Sly and The Family Stone did it.

[mrlovesexy227]

WAKE UP PEOPLE!!!!!! MR STEWART IS LISTENING ANG SMILING. ALWAYS DID DIDNT HE?????

[wontgoaway]

Etta Girl, we all get old IF we get lucky, ....but we don't have your voice,....would love dto SEE you do do this song....LOVE you at any AGE!!

[peanut1998100]

not my fave but still good

[NnGia]

ooooooooooooooo yesssssssssssssssss

[Jadervason]

I don't know. I don't like it as much as the original. I feel like she sang it too soft for too much of the song...

[theblahman]

@Jadervason Have to agree, although it was good, it just didnt peak like it should have, and I missed Larrys bass, still really liked it though

[MightyRostam]

Unbleievably good. Just 24 carat class.

[Chi88Chi88]

Damn Etta- get it!!

[46SANDRADEE]

AWESOME!!

[bladesaint21]

RIP Etta James

[lonlywolfish]

@bladesaint21 She is still alive son !

[itszmeNyou1408]

@bladesaint21 SHES STILL ALIVEE.

[bladesaint21]

OMG..I'm 52 years old..I've heard of her name before but this is the first I've sat down and listend..This is one of my fav songs by Sly and the Family Stone and thought any covers of it were meh! But she got my feet stompin!!! ..Dayamm! *LOL*

[sandrinekows]

@bladesaint21 sad at your age lol

[bladesaint21]

@sandrinekows ..Yeah I know!..I just went Disney World and rode Space Mountain for the first time 10 years ago.

[sandrinekows]

@bladesaint21 dont even talk to me about space mountain I think that thing traumatized me when I went when I was 10 lol

[Clickyduck]

Etta James is surprisingly badarse, have a listen to her cover of "my funny valentine" too for some more..

[5871248]

reminds me of "miss you" stones was this Larry graham on Bass? I wonder

[lavinia336]

great great GREAT!!!

[thnks4thecrml]

There ain't a damn song that Etta can't sing with finesse. One of the baddest women in every music genre!

[Arzinersgirl122]

this is a great rendition of Sly's hit, done in a fashion that makes this Etta James' own, I LOVE IT

[milesneedham]

are you freaking kidding me??? what a classic cover of classic song!! sly, etta, and even the chili peppers..... whatta great song!!!

[uVueD2b]

Interesting choice for her...soothe,yet funky as hell...

[NormaDesmond1000]

So smooth...

[selene2302]

¡ Muy felìz cumpleaños Diosa del blues !

[ladifecal]

Flawless ,,, Etta is the Queen of Soul , somebody got the title wrong !

[QNef23]

I like Etta's version of Sly Stone's If You want me to stay. Few women can sing this tune. Etta's strong, deep voice shows that there is nothing women can't do. what.

[smrfox99]

Holy shit- she murdered thisssssssssssssssss- AMAZING!!!! The best cover of the song in my opinion. I would love to hear her and Sly harmonizing on this. I love how she made it her own.

[350T5Toyota]

born Jamesetta Hawkins, Jan 25, 1938 in L.A.

[bitzykitty]

how old is Etta James now?

[thejazzman8]

damn, shes got slys funk down

[nikbear]

Pure class!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Drac2001]

Couldnt have been sang any better by Sly Stone himself..I really dig this version except for the under water horn impression WTH was that

[MissCriss1978]

@Drac2001

IDK ...but I didn't like the underwater part either .... outta left field compared to the rest of the performance!! lol

[recovering16]

Just listening to Sly & the Family Stone's version - and even the Red Chili Hot Peppers'. They all do it justice.  Etta is amazing, as always.

[iamjohn89]

@recovering16 yes i agree with you i hate it when people talk badly about covers always saying their crap compaired to the original

[recovering16]

@iamjohn89 I know - I have so many favorite originals and remakes Hello Stranger by Barbara Lewis and Queen Latifah, I'll Be Around by the Spinners and Joan Osborne, and many, many more!!

[bugsycline]

@recovering16 I don't know... if you are familiar with the sly and the family stone story, perhaps you'd rethink thyat comment. This song has more to do with the split up of the band than just a song. it has little meaning when others do it. Wiki sly and the family stone. Read thier story. pretty weird.

[newberry58]

@recovering16

Sly's version is the original .. he wrote it and first preformed it .. Etta & The Red Hot Chili Peppers both do this justice .. Sly should be happy ..

[hawhyingurl396]

What an outstanding voice. I just love Ms.Etta. Thank you

[jamz88888888]

The best!

[laineykat]

Holy Cow - is this fantastic or what? Adrian, thanks for this slinky jewel!!!

[RozenTheOne]

Thnaks for this. 5/5.
