Saddened that you are no longer here with us in the flesh, but your spirit lives on through your music… this is one of those songs that will cause you to get up on your feet, clap your hands and feel the force of Soul that is Etta James.
Voted the 60th greatest song of all time by Rolling Stone, this classic first brought to prominence by Al Green was just recently added to The National Recording Registry at The Library of Congress. Al and Tina up first with more covers after the jump. Little did anyone know what was just around the corner for Tina when she released her cover of this classic in 1983.
Bay Area artist Mara Hruby puts her own individual stamp on the Al Green classic. It’s all the way live a full grown!
