Etta James - Complete Modern & Kent Recordings - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

2012 collection from the late vocalist. Few female R&B stars enjoyed the kind of consistent acclaim Etta James received throughout a career that spanned six decades; the celebrated producer Jerry Wexler once called her Inchthe greatest of all modern blues singers,Inch and she recorded a number of enduring hits, including InchAt Last,Inch InchTell Mama,Inch InchI'd Rather Go Blind,Inch and InchAll I Could Do Was Cry.Inch at the same time, despite possessing one of the most powerful voices in music, James only belatedly gained the attention of the mainstream audience, appearing rarely on the pop charts despite scoring 30 R&B hits, and she lived a rough-and-tumble life that could have inspired a dozen soap operas, battling drug addiction and bad relationships while outrunning a variety of health and legal problems.

Digitally re-mastered and expanded edition of this 1964 album from one of the greatest and most influential recording artists of our times. Queen of Soul was produced in the main by Billy Davis, the A&R man who helped transform Chess Records from renowned purveyors of 1950's blues and R&B into one of the hippest soul outlets of the 1960's. The original 10-track album is bolstered with 14 bonus titles recorded between 1962 and 1965. Together they show Etta's many sides, from the punchy soul of 'Pay Back' and 'Only Time Will Tell' to gorgeously orchestrated revivals of jazz standards with a few Nashville-cut country tunes included for good measure.
