I just watched a commercial on TV. No idea what the commercial was about but the accompanying song captivated me so much that I just had to find out more. I found it. It's so wonderful for me. Just love it to pieces Here is that song, hope somebody else will enjoy as much as me:- At Last - Etta James with lyrics on screen

Singing legend Etta James dies at 73 Etta James, whose assertive, earthy voice lit up such hits as "The Wallflower," "Something's Got a Hold on Me" and the wedding favorite "At Last," has died, according to her longtime friend and manager, Lupe De Leon. She was 73. She died from complications from leukemia with her husband, Artis Mills, and her sons by her side, De Leon said. She was diagnosed with leukemia in 2010, and also suffered from dementia and hepatitis C. James died at a hospital in Riverside, California. She would have turned 74 Wednesday. ........British songstress Adele named James as one of her favorite singers, along with Aretha Franklin Source:- http://edition.cnn.com/2012/01/20/showbiz/etta-james-obit/?hpt=hp_t1
Another Great, gone ................... Soon we will be left with just druggies nincompups, which do not know a single bar of music.
Sorry I missed your link Tom, Mama Kaz is a cracking singer and great band! Very sad today's news about Etta James, she was a great talent and still young compared to many of her generation.
If it wasn't for Terry Fator singing this song on America's Got Talent, I would probably never have met my loved one. I stumbled across impressionaist and ventriloquist Terry Fator's AGT audition (singing this song) when looking at singers on Youtube. I marvelled at his abilities to impersonate female singers with his incredible vocal range - all without moving his mouth. One song that Terry Fator sings is a 1968 song by the Bee Gees - I Started a Joke - and that is how I found my loved one - singing that very song on Youtube. So thank you Terry, Eta, the Bee Gees and (of course) Simon Cowell.
