She was discovered by Johnny Otis as a teenager and had her first hit in 1955. Etta recorded for Modern Records and Kent Records in the 1950s before signing with Chess in 1960. Despite battling heroin addiction from 1965 to the mid-1970s, she continued to make music.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn 1978, Etta James released \"Deep in the Night,\" produced by Jerry Wexler. This marked her final recording until 1988 when she returned to Chess to record \"Seven Years Itch.\" From then until 2006, she consistently released albums. Her talent and contributions were recognized when she was inducted into the Rock And Roll Hall of Fame in 1993.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe movie \"Cadillac Records\" depicted Etta James' career up until the late 1970s, with Beyoncé Knowles portraying her role and recording some of James' songs for the soundtrack.

Etta James begins with \"All the Way Down\", a quintessentially Chicagoan take on a blacksploitation score replete with orchestral touches and trilling flutes (and of course, brassy trumpet phrases). James undoubtedly puts her own unique spin on ghetto life (and hard core drug experimentation), matching the tensions found in this funky arrangement. Side A rounds out with another saucy, funky entry, \"Only a Fool\", and a languid ballad in \"Down so Low\".  Side 2 opens with two quality songs from that ubiquitous soul songwriter - Randy Newman. \"Leave Your Hat On\" features a 70s instrumental staple, the \"waka-chika\" guitar part (What? I play the saxophone, I don't know what that effect is called... it sounds like a guitar with a jews harp jammed under the strings). James then tackles one of Newman's best known compositions - \"Sail Away\", James is an inventive interpreter and doesn't do either of these songs a disservice.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Chess Records","offers":[{"title":"Black LP.","offer_id":50388369047883,"sku":"2047531","price":14.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/Etta_James_60b10220_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1726341550"},{"product_id":"matriarch-of-the-blues","title":"Matriarch of the Blues","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eMatriarch of the Blues\u003c\/i\u003e, as Etta James is called many times, is an 2000 album marking her return to the blues, after recording country, jazz, and pop songs.
