Couple Reacts to Etta James "I'd Rather Go Blind" Reaction | Asia and BJ

[@garyseven5791]

I'm not sure if I heard this song back in the old days but a lot of contestants started singing it on got talent on TV and I just love her, her voice . Thank you guys

[@edithmaxim2041]

Her face is so full of expressions when she sings. Please look at one of her live songs. I am hooked on her. Her music really moves me. She puts so much feeliong in her singing.

[@Gulfmist_63]

I was blessed to have a friend who was on tour with Etta James as her drummer. He got me tickets to the show and an introduction to the legendary singer. Definitely one of the highlights of my life 😍😍😍😍

[@GrimrDirge]

Oh Etta is incomparable, and her band never gets enough credit for those smooth sounds.

[@French62164]

a bunch of white guys from muscle shoals ....great documentary about muscle shoals and the music that came from that small little town

[@theNOVEMBERman1116]

The amazing etta james beautiful voice it's no denying that she's a queen r.i.p etta james🙏 dorothy moore misty blue is another great song by an artist with a great voice

[@Tr1hawaii]

My momma played this song all the time when I was a kid. It was my introduction to real music that meant something; Real, raw, and it meant something. Thank you bringing Ms Etta back for others to hear!!! ❤️

[@ericellquist7007]

Classic! Classic R+B... love this song. The lady is special. One of the best....

[@mp-qw3fl]

Etta! True emotion and power, masterfully and beautifully expressed- a perfect track for all time

[@theresamendoza9143]

This song is just too good.

[@lancelary9124]

I saw her in concert in Atlanta, Georgia. It was amazing. Queen.

[@pleasantdreams6216]

????

[@scarlettjohnson8188]

One of my favorite songs ever! So lucky to have grown up with all varieties of music!

[@heathertanner5833]

There are so many great songs by Etta James. This just scratches the surface. Stop The Wedding. All I Could Do Was Cry. Tell Mama. Fool That I Am. Baby What You Want Me To Do. Trust In Me. A Sunday Kind Of Love. And many many more.

[@belindabarnett5646]

Man O Man you can still feel her pain and love in this recording after all these years not to many can fill your soul like that❤❤💔❤❤

[@leegriffin2705]

yaas ! thx my asia and bj - ur the best ! love ur songs and reactions! love u guys! miss etta ! just great music souls u have ! just love for y'all!

[@timjester8555]

A classic Etta song. I just realized the blues chord progression and construction is almost identical to Chris Stapleton's "Tennessee Whiskey" Anybody else hear this?

[@joebarrett5310]

Etta James, what an amazing voice she was. She and Patsy Cline are probably my favorite female vocalists. So good, such talent, raw, emotional, touching, yet effortless for them. May they both rest in peace and feel our gratitude for their gift to humanity.

[@Zebred2001]

Check out New-Zealand based Canadian singer Tami Neilson "Texas (with bonus performance "Cry Over You) " Official Music Video. Sounds a lot like Patsy!

[@colleenmonfross4283]

Absolutely love Etta James but I love her live version much better (Live at Montreux 1975), it's so raw.

[@roadkill7314]

An absolute legend! I think I like her song At Last even better.

[@ToddSauve]

Asia and BJ, this is another song that was recorded in Muscle Shoals, Alabama, this time in about 1967, whereas Bob Seger's "Like a Rock" was from about 1980 or so. Now you can see, if you read this comment, what an astounding variety and collection of music that was made there. Their session musicians were simply top of the heap, and almost all of them were from the local region. You just have to get the documentary "Muscle Shoals" from 2013, pick out an open evening and luxuriate in some of the very top music produced in the soul, blues and classic rock golden era. You won't believe your ears or eyes! 👌😳🎶💖🎸😎

[@kevincaulder9001]

The pain in her voice delivers the heartfelt words in a way that anyone can understand. Power with enough restraint to give love, hurt, and loss a pathway to walk separately away from loss. And the wisdom to know when to let go. Etta James channeled her own pain through her music. Her life was not easy. Even success was not without its burden. But her legacy remains as a vital reminder to know when to let go of what doesn't serve you. ALL I COULD DO IS CRY, A SUNDAY KIBD OF LOVE, FOOL THAT I AM, & SPOONFUL, are great numbers to play on your channel. You two are a natural act and enjoy you both. Keep rocking together. And Asia, you behave yourself.

[@jennyboo9604]

I love this song I kept asking for it in the live stream so yesss 😀😀❤️😀

[@1967PONTIACGTO]

my personal favourite song by Etta James is "If I Can't Have You"

[@dalecoppola2848]

Do you remember your first reaction to Angelina Jordan, who was 12 at the time, capturing the soul of the late great Etta James when she covered this song. Angelina, now 15, just did a live in stidio version of Adele's new release "Essy On Me" Asia, you will get chills and have your tissues ready. BJ, try to keep your socks on. Check it out guys

[@paulrosenstiel2602]

She was special !what a beautiful singer.a voice like you will never hear again

[@gmlcajun]

Love this song Etta James is an amazing singer love the soul the emotion she puts in it ✌️❤️💯

[@cindyphifer970]

Love Etta. My favorite song by her

[@Zebred2001]

Let's not forget another of Etta's great songs - At Last.

[@ASCENDINGTOHIM]

I sung this to my Husband back in the day …45 yrs together before the Lord took him …

[@danielmesery2904]

Her and Rod Stewart did a super job on this cut.....☮️. RIP E. J.

[@kierstenridgway4634]

Love this song !! I accidentally found this song. Didn't have my glasses on and thought I hit Elton John ! 😆 now I have it on playlist. Sooo good.

[@GS-xt8fu]

Etta? Love that woman. Classic. So many songs. World class.

[@scapito]

Nice!!!! Love love love this song.

[@johnnyboy7448]

i would luv to hear Asia sing this song your voice is just as beautiful as hers (real talk).

[@raenellefisher8514]

There are probably a handful of people in the history of the universe whose voice was just as beautiful as Etta's. That's quite a compliment. You're hitting on Asia, right?

[@terryhuwe2184]

I watched her video live of I'd rather go blind. She was awesome!

[@misterp158]

Good Stuff, MJ sounds a lot like her. Thanks for sharing.

[@ianmclean6399]

One of my top 10 songs of any genre, love some etta 🔥

[@slipperypete4771]

Etta is in my Top 10 best singers of any genre. Brilliant!

[@angelagoodwin5758]

WOW! Such a great song by the legendary Etta James.

[@beriandavies2111]

This song gets me teary every time, as does Beyonce's version in the movie, Cadillac Records. Beyonce plays Etta, it's a movie well worth watching. Keep doing the good work you're doing 👍

[@Newfie-zc7ug]

Believe it or not Rod Stewart does a wicked cover of this song.

[@grandwazoodebris1015]

Very true. Was it Rod solo, or Faces? Can't remember. From that vintage.

[@lazaruslong6382]

Miss Etta was truly something special in this world.

[@anonymousforagoodreason2479]

On of my all time favorites

[@jamesguess2228]

That song by Ms Moore..Misty Blue ..that ya'll reacted to ..i was the head football coach in Lubbock Texas on 1976 when i first heard it on the radio. I lnew it was fixin to be a huge No.1 hit song..she could definitely sang!!!

[@johnwright2364]

There is a live version of this song with Miss James performing this song with DrJohn that is spectacular. It’s from a BB King special

[@donnaridenhour7836]

OMG love it!! Etta is my Queen. I raise sheep and the queen of the pasture and my heart is named Etta James Ridenhour. You should react to my favorite by her called "Tell Mama". Great job guys!!! In case no one has told y'all, I love ya.

[@fccrick]

Also check out Etta's version of Willow Weep For Me.....just sublime

[@Sarvasaha]

Good to see you also covered the great (live) version by Joe Bonamassa and Beth Hart.

[@GS-xt8fu]

Etta… no rush or trying to over due anything. Easy for her. Easy.

[@kristilouque8412]

You must see it live! She’s badass!💪❤️

[@kimberlinibambini1988]

Yesssss! Live! I said the same- one with her in her older years!

[@edithmaxim2041]

Oh you have to show some of her live stuff. She is mesmerizing.

[@59elgreco]

Please listen to Beth Hart and Joe Bonamasa live version ( I think in Amsterdam). They honor Etta with their cover !!

[@justinwilton4603]

I think they've already done it :)

[@maryannerazzano7692]

Yes !

[@justinwilton4603]

They have done it heres the link . . kzbin.info/www/bejne/jnW7l3Vrhcebfqs

[@juniperbaby1005]

Etta sings words that you can't help but feel through your soul

[@micheleromano2966]

She was before my time. But she was the queen. This was more in my mom’s time. But we still listened to 50s music. I’m telling you the 60s were the best time to grow up. The music was exlopisive

[@victorcowboywest]

FLAME-TASIC!! SELECTION 👊🏽👊🏽🌹(for Asia) Keep up the good work .

[@jennyboo9604]

I'm with Bj you can't help but go to church with Etta James 🤣🤣🤣

[@brianbyczek3042]

Still have her original lp album........best version of this song...............her nickname was 'peaches'

[@kaychristensen4394]

❤Miss Etta❤

[@debbiejarvis5764]

Beth Heart & Joe Bonamassa does a cover of this. It's worth watching. Joe does an amazing guitar solo that will blow your mind.

[@marthaz]

Legend, beyond compare, pioneer of female soul - Etta James. Nice choice my young connoisseurs of music 💕

[@vitodepietro6020]

You did an reaction not to long ago of this song. Sung by Beth Hart, and Joe Bonamassa on guitar

[@mljrotag6343]

Imo, the song Tennessee Whiskey was pulled from this.

[@ryansalmons5279]

It was. Chris Stapleton used the melody of this song to rearrange Tennessee Whiskey

[@alvinweaver1450]

A song with this same kind of theme is Chicago Look Away . All about not wanting to see your love with someone else

[@irenelopez7555]

❤️Etta. RIP

[@majorstoner9620]

love this song

[@JemJam2976]

Y'all are gonna make my day.

[@b3r3tta95]

always here when i can

[@williameller7002]

What a strong voice .

[@davidfinch6659]

never heard thia song before.. song great. the music sounds like Tennessee whiskey do you agree??

[@ryansalmons5279]

Chris Stapleton rearranged Tennessee Whiskey using the melody of this song. Love Etta & when I heard Chris do Tennessee Whiskey I noticed it.

[@jrmahan3405]

No I don't agree. Tennessee Whiskey sounds like I'd Rather Go Blind.

[@macman1469]

A born survivor who became a Legend.

[@richmckinney7231]

there is a young artist , she has an old soul , if you know what i mean . angelina jordan does this at like 13 yrs old . MIND BLOWING !!!

[@whiskybooze]

we're all learning. My parents grew up in Philly back in this day. My mom would walk past the studio with Dick Clark.

[@rescyn1190]

oooh may I suggest Paolo Nutini's excellent cover of this as well. It's a different spin on it compared to most covers but it's really good. Even if you don't react to him it's well worth checking out his stuff on your own as it appears most Americans have no idea about him. He's a brilliant musician and his band are awesome. Unfortunately on a hiatus with no sign of ending :/

[@sylmyl]

Please react to the live version from 1975 in Montreux

[@bbylockdemdoors9107]

B did a good job emulating her

[@carollittle1059]

When Beyonce sang Etta's hit At Last and President Obamas inauguration, she was not happy that she wasn't asked to sin it.

[@barbarastrayhorn4667]

At last. My favorite.

[@fookutube501]

I alway like this song,it also remind me of misty blue

[@carolmirelez170]

One of the greats!

[@carollittle1059]

Damn! That voice!!

[@ellengrace4647]

she has so many good songs you must check them out

[@sexyj561]

React to her doing this live. It is beautiful.

[@kimberlinibambini1988]

Yesssss! I said the same!

[@gabreel8112]

some oldies. I love it.

[@The_Truth_209]

Can't deny this song influenced Tennessee Whiskey

[@Calaveras32]

If you love this song.. PLEASE watch the live version… Live at Montreux 1975…

[@wgdavis5353]

A great great singer with feeling.. Check out "At Last", one of the greatest songs ever.. ♠W.G.

[@scottmeeks662]

The Tedechi Trucks and Warren Haynes cover at the White House for Obama is great

[@MaureenBaker-k5p]

check out her live version-she's amazing

[@joeyricefried9621]

They just don’t make music or true artists like this anymore. CLASSIC

[@coye10]

Etta James Etta James ♥️♥️♥️

[@jenniferworley775]

[@lisagut1]

[@kimberlinibambini1988]

Haven’t watched yet- about to-y’all about to see something when y’all was getting ready to do this one- ohhhhh weeee- she don’t play! 😅 about to watch now! ❤️✌️👍. Edit- Aw man! Y’all MUST see her do this LIVE in her older years! Something to see!

[@mileschang4836]

Check out Diana Ankudinova's cover of "Personal Jesus" it was pretty firery.

[@kimscott3889]

Twinstrending reacted to this song. Check it out. Young guys diggin the sound. Goose bumps

[@debitaylor2101]

If haven't done so please do At last by Etta James

[@bonfireman6858]

If you enjoyed this one you'll love a song by Brenda Lee called Break It To Me Gently.

[@ASCENDINGTOHIM]

My fav !

[@timothymiller6189]

Beyonce did this song a great justice in Cadillac Records...

[@jimsealy9489]

Listen to Etta James "At Last" for your next reaction to her
