Wow, Almost Persuaded. Another oft-recorded song that Etta makes her own. Great stuff.

[carole cucumber]

Etta's sons Donto [[plays drums) and Sametto [[plays bass) are featured on the "Blues To the Bone" album.

[JimBagley]

70s Etta may be her coolest period.

[sophisticated_soul]

I had the great pleasure of seeing Etta live in concert 5 or 6 times over the years. In 1989 I managed to get back stage after a show she did here in San Diego and got to see her for a brief moment. Just long enough to tell her I was fan and get this autograph. She was most gracious.

PS: John I know I told you it more like 10 times, but when I got to thinking about it I realized some of those different memories were from the same concerts. Hey, I'm old, I can't remember everything.

I didn't know how to scan the entire album cover.

How was Seven Day Fool not a hit? Incredible production.

I don't remember where I got this clipping. But I love the quote and have always kept this clipping.

You caught me before I could correct my post. How was Seven Day Fool not a HIT single?

[sophisticated_soul]

This being my twenty-first show is the last time I can legitimately call myself Mr. 21! LOL

[sophisticated_soul]

How was Seven Day Fool not a HIT single?

Etta has a lot of songs like that. In many ways Etta was highly underrated.

[JimBagley]

I'd Rather Go Blind should have been an a-side. Etta really did have an embaressment of riches in the '60s.

"Pushover" and "Payback" ....Etta doing fantistic with the girl group sound.

"Pushover" and "Payback" ....Etta doing fantistic with the girl group sound.

Oddly enough "Pushover" a song Etta didn't much care for was, at #25, her second highest charting single on The Billboard Hot 100. "Tell Mama" was her highest at #23.

But then again it tasted a little like PeKING Duck
