Etta James - At Last
Written by Mack Gordon and Harry Warren "At Last" is the signature song for Etta James. James was born and brought up in Los Angeles by a series of caretakers, as her mother was a 14-year-old flirtatious beauty who spent little time raising her daughter. At the age of five she received vocal training at her local Baptist Church choir where she became a popular singer. By the age of 14 she had formed a doo-wop group, and under the name the Peaches they recorded "The Wallflower (Dance with Me, Henry)" which reached #2 on the rhythm and blues charts in February 1955. A follow-up, "Good Rockin' Daddy", was also a hit. In 1960, James signed a recording contract with Argo Records, a subsidiary label to Chess Records, and released her two most acclaimed albums, At Last! and The Second Time Around. She has continued to record and perform, releasing 30 albums and 58 singles, though due to her heroin addiction during the 60s and 70s, her output was erratic and she became one of the most overlooked blues and R&B musicians in American music history. She kicked the habit in 1974, and slowly rebuilt her career, playing at small clubs and music festivals, then opening for the Rolling Stones in the mid 80s, before releasing her first album on a major label for seven years in 1989. The Seven Year Itch caught the attention of the music industry and she began receiving major industry awards from the Grammys and the Blues Foundation.
