Blessed with a voice both brassy and bluesy, and admired by present-day belters such as the Gossip's Beth Ditto, Etta James has always performed music and lived life with equally passionate abandon. So what if Starbucks ruined "At Last"? James' impressive back catalog is full of heart-wrenching and bone-chilling doo-wop, soul, and gospel-soaked blues numbers that testify to a tumultuous life, at times marred by addiction. Now older and wiser, James' voice may have mellowed, but the fire is still there.
