A Sunday Kind Of Interlude

Any time music loses a legend, it's a pretty easy guess who the musical interlude is going to be. Therefore, it should come as no surprise that we're going with a little Etta James this week. However, that doesn't mean I'm going to make it easy for you and pick her biggest hit. Anyone could use "At Last" - the trick is digging a little deeper into the catalog. Besides, sometimes I feel like artists like Etta James who were big before MTV can get swallowed up by the one hit they are best known for by later generations and that is too bad. I mean, just listen to this track. No one does this kind of singing anymore. Not that I want to go all old-man on you, but these days it's remixes and auto-tunes. Even when someone has a great voice you question whether it is actually them or the work of some guy in a studio making it sound much better than it really is. I appreciate a great, natural voice and that is what Etta James had. Enjoy.
