20th Century Masterworks

Etta James was an American R&B/soul contralto vocalist, known as the most prominent female vocalist of the Chess label. She was discovered by Johnny Otis as a teenager and had her first hit in 1955. Etta recorded for Modern Records and Kent Records in the 1950s before signing with Chess in 1960. Despite battling heroin addiction from 1965 to the mid-1970s, she continued to make music.
In 1978, Etta James released "Deep in the Night," produced by Jerry Wexler. This marked her final recording until 1988 when she returned to Chess to record "Seven Years Itch." From then until 2006, she consistently released albums. Her talent and contributions were recognized when she was inducted into the Rock And Roll Hall of Fame in 1993.
The movie "Cadillac Records" depicted Etta James' career up until the late 1970s, with Beyoncé Knowles portraying her role and recording some of James' songs for the soundtrack. Throughout her early career, Etta used different last names for writing credits but is best known as Etta James. She was also a mother to two children.

Rough Trade Essential

'At Last!' is the debut studio album by American blues and soul artist Etta James, which includes the title song 'At Last'. The album was released on Argo Records in November of 1960 and was produced by Phil and Leonard Chess. After spending a few years in limbo after scoring her first R&amp;B hits 'Dance With Me, Henry' and 'Good Rocking Daddy,' Etta James returned to the spotlight in 1961 with her first Chess release, 'At Last'. James made both the R&amp;B and pop charts with the album's title cut, 'All I Could Do Was Cry,' and 'Trust in Me.' What makes 'At Last' a great album is not only the solid hits it contains, but also the strong variety of material throughout. James expertly handles jazz standards like 'Stormy Weather' and 'A Sunday Kind of Love,' as well as Willie Dixon's blues classic 'I Just Want to Make Love to You.' James demonstrates her keen facility on the title track in particular, as she easily moves from powerful blues shouting to more subtle, airy phrasing; her Ruth Brown-inspired, bad-girl growl only adds to the intensity. James would go on to even greater success with later hits like 'Tell Mama,' but on 'At Last' one hears the singer at her peak in a swinging and varied program of blues, R&amp;B, and jazz standards.Tracks: 01 Anything To Say You’re Mine / 02 My Dearest Darling / 03 Trust In Me / 04 A Sunday Kind Of Love You / 05 Tough Mary / 06 I Just Want To Make Love To You / 07 At Last / 08 All I Could Do Was Cry / 09 Stormy Weather / 10 Girl Of My Dreams / 11 Don’t Cry Baby / 12 Fool That I Am / 13 One For My Baby (And One More For The Road) / 14 In My Diary / 15 Seven Day Fool / 16 It’s Too Soon To Know / 17 Dream / 18 I’ll Dry My Tears / 19 Plum Nuts / 20 Don’t Get Around Much Anymore CD Bonus Tracks: 21 Spoonful * / 22 Fools Rush In * / 23 Good Rockin’ Daddy * / 24 Roll With Me, Henry [Aka The Wall ower] * / 25 Stop The Wedding * / 26 If I Can’t Have You * / 27 Something’s Got A Hold On Me *
