I know you've been hurt by someone else
I can tell by the way you carry yourself
But if you let me here's what I'll do
I'll take care of you
I, I've loved and lost the same as you
So you see I know just what you've been through
But if you'll let me here's what I'll do
Oh, I just got to take care of you
You won't ever have to worry
You won't ever have to cry
I'll be there beside you
To dry your weeping eyes
So darling tell me that you'll be true
For there is no doubt in my mind I know what I want to do
Understand, sure as one and one is two
Oh, you know I'll take care of you
I'll take care of you

Toasting to your beautiful soul, Etta. Thank you for sharing your voice to the world.

This is the Voice. Pain and sincerity can only create music that sounds like this. This woman was the epitome of soul, emotion, and performance. improvisation as she see fit, a backing band and a shitty mic, the real meat of jazz....thats all you need if you have IT within you. She is the Mother to all these present day emulators, these soulless voices that came after....Take note singers of today, and then give up. Mama don't play.
You were like no other. You will be missed.
