Vocal Jazz
At LastMack Gordon & Harry Warren/arr.
Althouse. Soul and blues singer Etta James made
this luscious ballad a hit in 1960, although it was
written almost 20 years earlier by the songwriting
team of Mack Gordon and Harry Warren. Since
then it's been recorded by scores of artists. Jay
Althouse's tasteful arrangement really brings out
the beauty and romance of the song for today's
choirs. This will be easy for your singers to sound
great on!

snaps and bass guitar. Later in the arrangement,

it to the world. Jay's sweet harmonies make for a
bluesy arrangement.
