Sing it Etta... in memory of...

When you hear the song "At Last" often times you are at a wedding watching the first dance between a bride and groom. While I appreciate young love, and the countless number of times I have heard Etta James voice singing "my love has come along..." over the diner radio, it is not the song I will remember her for. When I was in high school and I purchased my first Etta James cd, I remember hearing "Sunday Kind of Love" and that was the song that stopped me in my tracks. When I hear her belt out, "I want a Sunday kind of love..." at the end of the song, I cannot help but soak up the true essence of the late artist who will be remembered for her vocal honesty and her searching heart.
