Etta James

This collector’s release includes 27 studio tracks, consisting of the sensational singles – both A- & B-sides – she made in Chicago for the Chess brothers’ Argo and Chess labels, between 1960 and 1962. Contained here is the cream of the crop from Etta’s musical legacy. This set also presents a number of James’ lesser-known songs which are just as enjoyable as the unforgettable hits from that period. All of these fabulous recordings have been remastered and packaged together in this essential edition, which gives ample proof of Etta James’ versatility as well as her rightful place in the R&B and early soul pantheon.

ETTA JAMES, lead vocals, plus:
The Riley Hampton Orchestra.
