One of the boldest voices in soul and R&B, Etta James is captured on this one disc anthology and her most ravenous early days, covering her 54-60 years like a warm blanket. She starts things off belting out “The Wallflower” and teams up with tenor saxist Maxwell Davis and vocalist Harvey Fuqua on a galloping “Hey! Henry” “If It Ain’t One Thing” and “That’s All”. With R&B saxist Lee Allen, James wails on “Dance With Me Henry” and is backed by The Flairs on a moody “Come What May”. Her slacks never must have fallen, as she carried a big belt!
