Etta James made many appearances at the Montreux Jazz Festival across her long and distinguished career from her first concert in 1975 through to her last in 2008.
This video focuses on the concert from 1975. It features many of her best loved tracks and songs that she is particularly associated with. Etta James was one of the most respected performers of her generation. In a career stretching over 60 years she was inducted into the Rock'n'Roll Hall Of Fame and the Blues Hall Of Fame, won 3 Grammys and received many more nominations and was named Female Blues Artist Of The Year on no less than 14 occasions.
Etta James sadly passed away after a long illness in January 2012 and this video is a fitting tribute to one of the greatest female vocalists of the 20th century.

Jesus,how many comments did this song have ? When I met my husband 38 years ago this was one of the first songs he ever played for me I was a newly qualified Solicitor and because of all my studies I was never exposed to music I was overwhelmed when I heard it. It is now forty years later My darling husband and soul mate died on the 22nd of November 2021 I am broken hearted but still in February 2024 I play it every night and my heart breaks all over again It is an amazing experience listening to Etta James .I will listen to this song until I die and lie in my grave with my beautiful soul mate again I can’t wait to be with him forever

@@mariahyohannes Even if they did have it, it wouldn't have been accepted. A robot voice could never express a human emotion. That's why anyone from this era considers todays music garbage and talentless. When you have been exposed to real music and artist that are one of a kind voice, that brings something special. its hard to accept music that sounds exactly the same no matter what artist is playing with nothing special to display. For instance when Bruno Mars was using autotune, I thought he sounded horrible. But when I heard him sing with his actual voice, His actual talent shines. I thought he was great. You can not get the emotions of a song that comes from a singers voice from a computer. Imagine James Brown, Marvin Gaye, Al Green on autotune.. why would anyone ever want to destroy something so special?
