This video focuses on the concert from 1975. It features many of her best loved tracks and songs that she is particularly associated with. Etta James was one of the most respected performers of her generation.

Etta James sadly passed away after a long illness in January 2012 and this video is a fitting tribute to one of the greatest female vocalists of the 20th century. =================================== Subscribe: https://mercury-studios.lnk.to/YouTubeSubscribe Official site: https://www.mercurystudios.co =================================== #EttaJames #IdRatherGoBlind #LiveAtMontreux
