Etta James performs two songs on the 1982 National Easter Seal Telethon

Soul great Etta James performs "Take It To The Limit" and "I Can't Turn You Loose" backed by The Hollywood Rock N' Roll Revue. This was live in the overnight hours of the 1982 National Easter Seal Telethon. The National Easter Seal Telethon was a national telethon that benefited the National Easter Seal Society and aired in the United States from 1972-1997. I am a collector interested in classic telethon footage; for Easter Seals particually 1970s and early 80s.

How to steal a song from the original artist and OWN it. Etta James illustrates how you "cover" a song.You don't, you do it your way and treat it with respect. True greatness. RIP sweet soulful Sista.
