She was such a powerful soul and and there's this naturalness in her not only in her voice and presentations but in most of her performances she was barefooted. Tell mama was one of my favorites jumping, dancing, barefooted. What a gift, may she rest, forever she will be missed.

This song came on and I was just overwhelmed with Etta’s enormous talent and passion- I just started crying. Just like I’m crying now. We’re so blessed to have music in our lives

Nobody tells a story like Etta did, she’s had so much conviction in her voice she commanded her audience. God given talent !

When Etta bends those notes, she takes you to church. She had more soul than anyone on the planet today.

Something told me it was over When I saw you and her talkin' Something deep down in my soul said, 'Cry, girl' When I saw you and that girl walkin' around Whoo, I would rather, I would rather go blind, boy Then to see you walk away from me, child, no Whoo, so you see, I love you so much That I don't wanna watch you leave me, baby Most of all, I just don't, I just don't wanna be free, no Whoo, whoo, I was just, I was just, I was just Sittin here thinkin', of your kiss and your warm embrace, yeah When the reflection in the glass that I held to my lips now, baby Revealed the tears that was on my face, yeah Whoo and baby, baby, I'd rather, I'd rather be blind, boy Then to see you walk away, see you walk away from me, yeah Whoo, baby, baby, baby, I'd rather be blind...

This is why it's called soul

Sono italiano e non capisco la lingua inglese. Ma capisco tutta l'anima di questa ragazza attraverso la sua voce, anche se non capisco cosa dice. Quando hai una bella voce ma lasci che l'anima canti insieme a te, tutto diventa chiaro e comprensibile. I am Italian and I don't understand the English language. But I understand this girl's whole soul through her voice, even if I don't understand what she says. When you have a beautiful voice but you let your soul sing with you, everything becomes clear and understandable.

This truly is a timeless song. The emotive lyrics and Etta's passionate delivery, vividly portraying the pain of lost love....

We will never ever get another Etta James. Perfection.

When I heard Etta sing this. I knew I found a new planet.

You should be up here,makes me cry deep rivers,what a classic,Rod Stewart cover hits the nail as well,lvcx

etta just has it all ....soul ,presence and she makes it all look effortless a truly wonderful performer. she gets in to my heart and soul every time .
