Voice actress: At last
Etta James
My love has come along
(Applaud)
Thank you so much.

Etta James performed in various genres, including blues, R&B, soul, rock and roll, jazz, and gospel. Starting her career in 1954, she gained fame with hits such as "The Wallflower", "At Last", "Tell Mama", "Something's Got a Hold on Me", and "I'd Rather Go Blind".

Voice actress: I’d like to do a song that I wrote. It’s about a girl who would rather go blind than to watch her lover leave her.

Verse: … I would rather
I would rather
Go blind boy
Than to see you walk away from me
(Wooooo)

Etta’s deep and earthy voice bridged the gap between rhythm and blues and rock and roll. She won six Grammy Awards and 17 Blues Music Awards. She was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1993, the Grammy Hall of Fame in 1999, and the Blues Hall of Fame in 2001.
Etta left us in 2012 at age 73. She was an awesome singer. She could sing, low, high, and loud. Etta could sing as if she experienced every song.
