Professional Review:
She's no stranger to the towering highs and lows of the heart, and Etta James's soaring, gospel-tinged pipes match up well with the rigors of unabashed bliss. Happily, the good people at Chess Records recognize this, and they have thoughtfully collected some of the best examples into one tidy record. Kicking off with her classic treatment of "At Last," the collection moves through the lilting strings of "My Dearest Darling" on into the expressive tones of "I Want to Be Loved (But Only by You)" with grace and emotional candor. James can be simultaneously tender and deeply honest and her ability to express the desperate joy that is the soul of love remains one of life's marvelous pleasures. --Matthew Cooke

   Summary: Lady with Style
Etta James style of singing is just awesome, and it Shines on this album. At Last is a wonderful song, and she performs it better than I've ever heard it done by anyone else. My favorite on the disc is "A Sunday Kind of Love" because it feel like she must know what she's talking about, you can feel it in your soul. "I want a Sunday Kind of Love, a love that will last past Saturday Night. And I want to know it's more than love at first sight, I want a Sunday Kind of Love". Let me put it this way, you'll want a Sunday kind of Love too. Buy this CD, and you will have bought a treasure that you will enjoy for a long time.

   Summary: Etta Forever !
Etta is pure, raw, vocal sensuality ! All my years of collecting various recordings by artists of various genres did I imagine I would every buy an Etta cd. Why ? Probably because I had been living under a rock. This woman is incredible to say the least. She is in that same category with the real divas of blues, jazz, soul, and yes, even some pop like Aretha Franklin,Peggy Lee, Nina Simone, Patti Austin. This collection hihglights her more popular bluesy jazz-like ballads of the 60's without ever turning into calculated elevator mush muzak. She makes a ballad sound sultry and sexy without making it become a melodramatic fluff piece;Songs like the classic At Last and A Sunday Kind Of Love prove this. Buyers should not be put off by the Love Songs title (there is absolutely no slowed down mush here). There is so much strength, energy, and vitality to her songstress approach. Etta James is the last century's and this one's most easily accessible and awe-inspiring female vocalists without a doubt. While I am not a die hard James fan since I just recently discovered this gem I can understand why she would be or is an inspiration to so many musical artists. After hearing this collection I am a fan now. Most definitely I will be pursuing her other recordings in the very near future !...Love Songs is an amazing start for my Etta James collection !

   Summary: Where have I been during Etta's career?
I've finally found an album that sings to me what I've been missing all these years. Janice Joplin came close, but she is no longer here. Thank goodness for Etta and her wonderful voice! This collection has it all! It moves, shakes, rattles and rolls!
