Stevie's "At Last"
 

I just heard it on an ABC special about Weddings! :D They were profiling 24 hours at a Las Vegas wedding chapel and they played some of it over the end of the piece.

She does such an amazing version of it! I was excited to hear it used on the show! :thumbsup:

And she still should do a complete show with songs like this. :nod:

Crap. I watched some of that show before going out - the piece about the descendants of slaves getting married with the slaveowner's descendant in attendance. I would have loved to have heard that song on TV.
Certainly a better version than Christina Aguilera's or Cyndi Lauper's (though the latter is better than the former).

I agree. Her voice was made to sing those big old romantic jazz numbers.

*le sigh*

:D

Ca-rap! I don't even know that song, but woulda wanted to hear it, but had that show on but TURNED DOWN (cause i hate wedding stuff) while i was waiting for Will and Grace! Grrr.....

You know what, I actually think that would be a good idea...an entire album of Stevie covering jazz standards...she has a voice meant for them :thumbsup:

This was a thread not too long ago.

- Jake

It's an Etta James classic. You'd probably know it if you heard it.

- Jake

No, I mean i know that SONG, i just didn't know Stevie ever touched it.

I LOVE Stevie's version....I wish wish wish wish I had that as my wedding song, but I didn't have a copy of it then...... :(

I would jump out of a window if Stevie ever decided to do an all Jazz like songs album. I don't care if it suits her voice. I'd rather hear a million more versions of her trying her hardest to sing Rhiannon like she used to although falling a bit short, then to have this all Jazz thing. And this is one time I'm happy Stevie doen't like to take risks :laugh:

Even an album of standards featuring duets with Celine and Barbra? :laugh:

I may jump out a window if I have to hear Rhiannon again in it's current incarnation. As it is, I started walking to the bathroom Sunday night halfway through the song in Irvine.
You needn't worry, Hawkeye, I don't suspect she would do something so revolutionary and artistically challenging. I am just thankful she has done the few songs in that style that she has done. It is at least a hint of what she is capable of doing.

I LOVE Stevie's version of this song! Count me in as one who would love to hear her do an entire album of jazz. I think it would be great! Hmm, I'll think pull out that Stormy Weather CD when I get home from work tonight.

I did that at about 3 in the morning. ;)
