Etta James “At Last”
When I worked at KACE in Los Angeles, a station I’d like to erase from my memory, an advertising agency called me while playing this song on the air and asked me “Who it that?” it was Etta James’ At Last. The next thing I knew the song was featured in a luxury car commercial. This song was sung with so much incredible passion and relieved angst that it was an undeniable smash. The late Etta James’ career was sidetracked by a drug problem preventing her from having many more hits but this one stands out and is popular in every generation.
