14. If I Can't Have You
Aretha Franklin's only real competition in the 60's was Etta James. At Last, her debut album, was actually a comeback for her. She'd had a number one hit in 1955, and then nothing until this came out in 1961. The title track is a song that she will own forever...no one will ever outdo what she did with it, and it's a song that will live forever. But this isn't a one song wonder. "Stormy Weather" is just as great, and there are many other stunning tracks. And it's not just blues ballads...check out her gritty performance on "I Just Want To Make Love To You", which sounds like it may be the version the Rolling Stones decided to cover. Etta James gets lost in the shuffle sometimes, but she should not be forgotten. And At Last deserves to be heard.
The bonus tracks are all duets with Harvey Fuqua, and are all worthwhile, particularly Willie Dixon's "Spoonful".
