PHILLYQ Posted October 6, 2010 Report Share Posted October 6, 2010 Etta indeed rocks the house on that one- that voice must have rattled the walls at the club. Whoever I play that for and whatever their taste they're impressed. I love how into it the audience is, too. major major Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jazzbo Posted October 6, 2010 Report Share Posted October 6, 2010 Looks more like a wrapped strained wrist or hand? I'll have to check this one out one of these days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AllenLowe Posted October 6, 2010 Report Share Posted October 6, 2010 there's an interview with Ralph Bass in some book in which he explains about the bandage, but I'm not sure what book it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danasgoodstuff Posted October 6, 2010 Report Share Posted October 6, 2010 Been thinking a lot recently 'bout what makes a great live albums, and this one definitely is...more so than any number of albums with bigger rep's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Magnificent Goldberg Posted October 7, 2010 Report Share Posted October 7, 2010 there's an interview with Ralph Bass in some book in which he explains about the bandage, but I'm not sure what book it is. I've seen it too. I think it's either in "Honkers & shouters" by Arnold Shaw, or the sleeve notes to a compilation set of R&B records made in Nashville (which I haven't got - but I saved it on the computer but can't remember where).

MG That wouldn't be the "A Shot in The Dark" Nashvile R&B set by Bear Family? The accompanying book is a fat one but I cannot recall that Etta James was featured there. Neither was she on the Nashville R&B vinyl comps on the Krazy Kat label IIRC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John L Posted October 8, 2010 Report Share Posted October 8, 2010 I think that Etta had some tracks on her arms. Could that be it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck Nessa Posted October 8, 2010 Report Share Posted October 8, 2010 Nah, she'd wear long gloves to cover those and avoid questions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
medjuck Posted October 9, 2010 Report Share Posted October 9, 2010 Was once invited to a party by an effects house who had done a lot of work on one of our films. I knew we were paying them too much a when I discovered that the entertainment was a SNL regular (who was terrible) and Etta James with her band. It was many years after this recoding but she was still great. What a night: pretty good dinner and then dancing to Etta James. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MartyJazz Posted October 11, 2010 Report Share Posted October 11, 2010 (edited) Last night watched the DVD of A SINGLE MAN with Colin Firth in an Oscar nomination role, and my wife and I were startled at one point in the film by the power of James singing "Stormy Weather" on the soundtrack.

Cali Posted October 15, 2010 Report Share Posted October 15, 2010 has anyone read her autobiography? Yes, a good read, with lots of 1950's L. A. music history. I really enjoyed it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
