Etta James
(Jamesetta Hawkins)
25 January 1938 ~ 20 January 2012
I clearly remember the first time I heard this song...it changed my taste in music forever. America's Top 40 suddenly sounded shallow and ridiculous to this teenager with a broken heart...goodnight Ms. James.
Although I personally don't celebrate Valentine's Day, I have always, always loved this song. And this is, by far, one of the best renditions without vocals I've ever heard.
