Etta James' big, brassy and bold voice sings some great love songs in this bluesy, R & B collection, starting with her 1961 hit of the Warren/Gordon "At Last", which is one of the standouts. Others include another hit from 1961, "Trust in Me", and an earthy, scrumptious duet with Harvey Fuqua (lead and founder of the Moonglows), "If I Can't Have You". I also like her take on the Gershwin brothers' "Someone to Watch Over Me", with Ira's terrific lyrics; I always appreciate his split phrases, like "Although he may not be the man some / girls think of as handsome"

With the exception of "Lovin' Arms" which was recorded in 1974, and the cover of The Association's "Never My Love" (1973), these recordings are from the '60s, but Etta is a classic singer, and never sounds dated. Digitally remastered, they did a good job of the audio quality, with crisp highs and nice depth. there are no liner notes in the foldout insert which only includes a song list, and the total time is 45'48.

Buy it. Don't even hesitate. Every song is great,

the best. "At Last" gave me chills in 1958 as a young

teenager falling in love for the first time. Now, over

40 years later, I'm still getting chills every time I

listen to it. "How Do You Speak To An Angel" and "Again"

are two more that I have discovered and move me beyond

words. I love this CD!

Wow. What musical range, what powerful vocals. Some of these cuts are almost FIFTY years old (the newest is 30 years old), and the arrangements may date the sound, but that voice... Etta brings it.

Etta James is one of the Greatest Vocalists Ever!this set highlights that&more.She has so much spirit&vibe.this is a solid collection of Her many Great songs.i have listen to Her for so long.Her Vocals have so much Depth&Feeling.this is a must.

I just saw Ms Etta James live last night and was able to buy an autographed copy of her love songs CD. Her CD is awesome and I'll be using songs from it for my wedding reception next year. Let me tell you that age has not hurt her voice nor her ability to touch your heart. After seeing her live I know why she has been called "Queen of the Blues". This CD is a bargain for the joy it will bring you!
