Arranger Composer
Does emu even understand the difference between an arranger and a composer? Better to have no information than wrong information. Etta James recorded her essential recordings long before these tracks were laid down.
..The Essential Etta James
This music brings together an entire lifetime of being..
Essential Etta James
Just wonderful!! just more of her perfection. Who could take a Rolling Stones classic "Miss You" and make it into something different and memorable?? a musical genius . Sit back and enjoy more of her gift to us.

Only one Etta James!
The quintessential album.All her great songs!If you are a fan,this is a Must!
Woooh.
Goddamn! Yeah, thats what I'm talkin' about.
Good collection but...
It's not the 1993 collection of Chess recordings by the same title - which is what the Bill Dahl review is referring to -but a recent import. Still, it's a good collection of her more recent work.

You guys either need an "arranger" tag, or just forget it.

But albums are more permeable than solid, their motivations, executions and inspirations informed by, and often stolen from, their peers and forbearers. It all sounds awfully formal, but it's not. It's the very nature of music — of art, even. The Six Degrees features examine the relationships between classic records and five… more »
