From Janis Joplin to Beyonce, her expressive and gutteral style has been imitated, but never quite matched.

Yes, sometimes the album is so intense that it can be taken only one side at a time, but the sensational feeling one gets rolling off into the morning sun with Etta James on the car stereo, is pure satisfaction.

An icon from early rock’n’rolls pantheon of divas, she has inspired 5 decades of listeners and fellow artists with her vocal styling. James demonstrates her keen facility on the title track in particular, as she easily moves from powerful blues shouting to more subtle, airy phrasing; her Ruth Brown-inspired, bad-girl growl only adds to the intensity.The album was released on Argo Records in November of 1960 and was produced by Phil and Leonard Chess. Jackpot Records is honored to release this momentous record, with the original album artwork and 4 bonus tracks. Very often they are not so ethical and use every imaginable source from which to master: CDs, LPs, digital files and even MP3s. Should this not be possible, – because the original tape is defective or has disappeared, for example – we do accept a first-generation copy. At Last is the Etta James album that belongs in everyone’s collection, it’s been rated by Rolling Stone as one of the Top 50 albums of all time, and though recorded back in 1961 [her first on the Chess Label], after an absence from the music scene for a few years, rocketed this brilliant woman right back to the top of the charts, where she laid out “Stormy Weather,” a jazz standard, like it had never been heard before, then flips like a pancake too hot to handle, and walks all over “I Just Want To Make Love To You,” a blues’ classic by Willie Dixon that inspired the likes of Janis Joplin, Mama Cass Eliot, and yes, even Jimi Hendrix, allowing a woman, for one of the first times in musical history, to stand toe to toe with the boys, creating a solid album of emotional classics, sung not from the heart, but from the gut, where she laces her songs with growls, airy presentations and phrasings, while never letting go of her intensity .

In 1987, the album was released for the first time by MCA /Chess , and then digitally remastered and reissued on compact disc in 1999 with four bonus duet tracks performed with Harvey Fuqua : "My Heart Cries," "Spoonful," "It's a Crying Shame," and "If I Can't Have You.eventually spawned four singles being "All I Could Do Was Cry", "Trust in Me ", "At Last ", and "My Dearest Darling".

They're not system-destroying but rather a humorous snapshot of a time over sixty years ago when a recording engineer failed to keep Ms. The result is a timeless, highly accomplished and variegated LP from the beginning of Etta James’s lengthy discography.But the more carefree, candy rock ’n’ roll ("Tough Mary"), the weird and languishing song ("Girl Of My Dreams") and the stuff of finest ballads ("Stormy Weather") are all found in this highly diversified mainstream mix. Jackpot Records is honored to release this momentous record with the original album artwork and 4 bonus tracks (previously only available on CD). Keep in mind that anyone can view public collections—they may also appear in recommendations and other places. It’s as though the title "At Last" is trying to dupe one into believing that Etta James had experienced all the ups and downs that life could offer her by the year 1961: performing on great stages under the influence of drugs, her exodus from the scene, appalling jobs in seedy clubs and dives, and a brilliant comeback with an earthy voice in Montreux followed by a tour of the USA with the Rolling Stones.
