ETTA

You can hear a little snippet of "At Last" at CDNow. I am in this total craze for all sorts of gospel-inspired singers. First it started with the obvious, Aretha, and now there's Etta James, Billie Holiday, Ella Fitzgerald, Dinah Washington. I can't get enough of it. What's a little white girl to do?

Here's the lyrics to "At Last":

At last, my love has come along,
My lonely days are over,
And life is like a song.

Ohhh at last,
The stars above are blue,
My heart was wrapped up in clover,
The night I looked at you.

I found a dream that I could speak to,
A dream that I, can call my own,
I found a thrill, to press my cheek to,
A thrill that I, have never known.

Ohhh you smile, you smile,
And then the spell was cast,
And here we are in heaven,
for you are mine, at last!
