About This Item
- Details
- Genre: Blues
- Description: Etta James is widely regarded as one of the finest female blues, R&B and soul singers of the modern era, second only in some eyes to Aretha Franklin - Atlantic's Jerry Wexler called her Inchthe greatest of all modern blues singersInch. After a chequered early life, she was discovered in Los Angeles singing with a vocal group at the age of 16 by Johnny Otis, who signed her to Modern, and she scored an R&B No. 1 in 1955 with her debut recording InchThe Wallflower (Roll With Me Henry)Inch, a re-working of Hank Ballard's InchWork With Me, AnnieInch, following it up with another Top 10 R&B hit InchGood Rockin' DaddyInch. After recording briefly for Modern subsidiary Kent, she signed to the Chess tag, and began recording material that combined the intensity of R&B with the accessibility of pop and the Polish of jazz, switching to the Chess sister tag Argo in 1960, and hitting the pop and R&B charts with more than fifteen records between 1960 and '62, including Top 5 successes like InchAll I Could Do Was CryInch, InchMy Dearest DarlingInch, InchAt LastInch, InchTrust In MeInch and InchSomething's Got A Hold On MeInch, before aspects of her life began to unravel in subsequent years. This great-value 52-track 2-CD set comprises all her A & B sides during those first important years of her career, plus a bonus album version of InchDance With Me HenryInch, so it's a comprehensive overview of her early work.

Thriller explores similar genres to those of Off The Wall, including pop, post-disco, rock and funk. Recording sessions took place on April to November 1982 at Westlake Recording Studios in Los Angeles with a production budget of $750, 000, assisted by producer Quincy Jones. Seven singles were released from the album, all of which reached the Top 10 on the Billboard Hot 100. In just over a year, Thriller became-and currently remains-the best-selling album of all time, with estimated sales of 65 million copies worldwide.
