Song of the Day: Etta James – “Don’t Lose Your Good Thing”
Don’t Lose Your Good Thing, a single from the 1968 album Tell Mama is a mixture of soul and blues that showcase Etta’s emotional range . In one instance, she displays her sharp sauciness warning her lover “not to mess it up” but smoothly transitions into sweet pleas “for love to stay” all in the same breath. It’s beautiful how she can intertwine the threads of strength and vulnerability without missing a stitch. Take a listen for yourself.
