Last month I posted a video of Etta James singing "At Last" as a tribute to both the recent wedding of two friends of mine and of the news I received that Etta James was near death. She finally died yesterday. I know many people will talk about her most well-known song, "At Last", but here’s another song by her that I have always personally preferred to "At Last." Here’s Etta James performing "Tell Mama" live in concert with The Roots Band at the Montreux Jazz Festival in 1989.
