Etta James

2-LP ON 1 CD Plus 7 BONUS TRACKS

Etta James’ powerful, versatile and emotionally direct voice could enliven the raunchiest blues as well as the subtlest love songs. She was one of the most iconic soul singers, with a career that lasted decades.

This release includes two of Etta James’ finest albums from 1962: her self-titled third LP Etta James, and the follow-up record Sings for Lovers (which Etta herself stated was her favorite album). They were both originally released on the Argo label (a subsidiary of Chess Records).
