Default Etta

RIP, Etta James. Your song "At Last" documented so many of our young lives. Nobody did it better.

I just looked at a uTube of Etta singing her song. She closed her eyes and truly went someplace else. How rare to do that a few times. And I think she did it almost every time. She took that song at a tempo that I could grow whiskers between beats. It was that slow. What a groove. Have mercy.
