Van de versie van Etta James word ik altijd opnieuw helemààl ‘emotional‘, wat Beyoncé gisteren bracht was puur kippenvel: de hele tijd lang. Mooi.
Ja, we zijn terug in de sixties: dit doet toch een beetje denken aan “Happy Birthday, Mr. President” van Marilyn Monroe.
“At Last!” is a 1941 song written by Mack Gordon and Harry Warren for the musical film Orchestra Wives, starring George Montgomery and Ann Rutherford. It was first performed in the film and on record by Glenn Miller and his orchestra, vocal by Ray Eberle & Pat Friday. The song was a major hit for Miller, reaching number fourteen on the Billboard pop charts in 1942, and it soon became a standard. Nat King Cole recorded it in 1957 on his number one album Love Is the Thing. In 1960, it was covered by blues singer Etta James in a performance that improvised on Warren’s melody. James was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame in 1999 for her rendition of the song.“
