When my daughter was small I listened to an Etta James double-cd set we had over and over. The first cd was the older classic Etta James- soul songs with the soaring vocals replete with unparalleled power and emotion- and I had to sing to every last one of them. It was only recently that I saw footage of her singing live for the first time, and I couldn’t get over it. What a force she was.
