{"product_id":"824046320423-complete-as-bs-1955-62","title":"ETTA JAMES | COMPLETE AS \u0026 BS 1955-62","description":"Etta James is widely regarded as one of the finest female blues, R\u0026amp;B and soul singers of the modern era, second only in some eyes to Aretha Franklin - Atlantic's Jerry Wexler called her \"the greatest of all modern blues singers\". After a chequered early life, she was discovered in Los Angeles singing with a vocal group at the age of 16 by Johnny Otis, who signed her to Modern, and she scored an R\u0026amp;B No. 1 in 1955 with her debut recording \"The Wallflower (Roll With Me Henry)\", a re-working of Hank Ballard's \"Work With Me, Annie\", following it up with another Top 10 R\u0026amp;B hit \"Good Rockin' Daddy\". After recording briefly for Modern subsidiary Kent, she signed to the Chess label, and began recording material that combined the intensity of R\u0026amp;B with the accessibility of pop and the Polish of jazz, switching to the Chess sister label Argo in 1960, and hitting the pop and R\u0026amp;B charts with more than fifteen records between 1960 and '62, including Top 5 successes like \"All I Could Do Was Cry\", \"My Dearest Darling\", \"At Last\", \"Trust In Me\" and \"Something's Got A Hold On Me\", before aspects of her life began to unravel in subsequent years. This great-value 52-track 2-CD set comprises all her A \u0026amp; B sides during those first important years of her career, plus a bonus album version of \"Dance With Me Henry\", so it's a comprehensive overview of her early work.","brand":"ALLIANCE ENTERTAINMENT LLC","offers":[{"title":"USA Supplier - 4-10 Days","offer_id":53461164622124,"sku":"al-824046320423","price":52.95,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0825\/5186\/5644\/files\/3656481.jpg?v=1784779947","url":"https:\/\/realgroovy.com\/products\/824046320423-complete-as-bs-1955-62","provider":"Real Groovy","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
