Etta James: At Last
Показать описание
The recording of "At Last" by Etta James is one of the most iconic love ballads of all time, but its history is deeply rooted in earlier versions before James made it her signature hit.
"At Last" was originally composed by Mack Gordon and Harry Warren for the 1941 musical film Sun Valley Serenade, performed by Glenn Miller and his orchestra with vocals by Ray Eberle and Pat Friday (dubbed for actress Lynn Bari). The song was a hit in the big band era and became associated with Miller's smooth orchestral style.
Etta James's recording of "At Last" came nearly 20 years after the song's creation, transforming it into a bluesy soul anthem.
James's Rendition: Produced by Phil and Leonard Chess at Chess Records, her version appeared on her debut studio album At Last! in 1960. This marked a departure from her earlier R&B and doo-wop roots, as it showcased her powerful, emotive voice in a more orchestral arrangement.
The arrangement by Riley Hampton included lush strings and a dramatic, slow-burning tempo, which gave the song its romantic, timeless quality.
Chart Performance
While "At Last" did not reach the top of the pop charts, it became a major success on the R&B charts and cemented Etta James's reputation as one of the leading vocalists of her era.
The song became synonymous with romance and was widely embraced for weddings, films, and significant moments. It has been featured in numerous soundtracks, including the 1988 film Rain Man and President Barack Obama's first inaugural ball in 2009, where Beyoncé performed it.
Etta James's Signature Song: Despite a career filled with other hits, "At Last" remains her most enduring recording. It introduced her to a broader audience and showcased her as a powerhouse of emotion and vocal control.
"At Last" was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame in 1999, solidifying its status as one of the greatest recordings in music history. It remains a staple in both the soul and pop music canon, celebrated for its profound beauty and Etta James's unforgettable delivery.
