Etta James - Rather Go Blind (male cover) A Tribute

R.I.P. Etta James

http://robertanton.com

I wanted to vent my feelings a little and decided to do this wonderful song that I'd been planning on doing eventually, after hearing Rachel Crow do it on xfactor. In loving memory of an icon.

Rather Go Blind by Etta James
Something told me it was over (Yeah)
When I saw you and her talking
Something deep down in my soul said "cry girl" (Cry, Cry)
When I saw you and that girl walking around

I would rather, I would rather go blind boy
Than to see you walk away from me chile
So you see I love you So much
That I don't want to watch you leave me baby
Most of all I just don't, I just don't want to be free no

I was just, I was just
I was just sitting here thinkin'
Of your kiss and your warm embrace, Yeah
When a reflection in a glass that I held to my lips now, baby
Revealed these tears that are on my face

and baby, and baby, baby
I'd rather be blind boy
Than to see you walk away, walk away from me, yeah
and baby, baby, baby
I'd rather be blind boy
Than to see you walk away, walk away from me

@projectJEMCCA Didnt mean to make you cry. Yes, she will be missed but her legacy will definitely live on.

@itsranton I cried because you suck at singing this song.

[itsranton]

@Cheeseburgerwoof Thanks for the view and comment anyway. appreciate it.

You took on that key & came out a winner. Reminded me of the way it's said Motown producers would alter arrangements to make Ruffin reach for certain notes. Brought out all that raspy power of his...

In my uncle's eyes, Etta was the woman. No bones about it...

[itsranton]

@Unclewich Thanks man. I just set up and started singing. Needed to get it outta my system 4 it got to me. Glad you enjoyed it. Etta was a spunky woman too.
