Dutch Vinyl's Album of the Year

Etta James - At Last!

At Last! was Etta James's first LP and brought her rhythm-and-blues voice into a broader pop setting. The title song became her signature recording, while All I Could Do Was Cry, Trust in Me and A Sunday Kind of Love showed how easily she could move between blues, soul and standards.

Why 1960 Matters

The year links the 1950s to the decade ahead. Jazz moved from hard bop towards more personal forms, while singers such as Etta James and Elvis Presley showed how rhythm and blues and rock could work across a full album.
