In 1967, Etta James recorded "Tell Mama" and "I'd Rather Go Blind", with "At Last" perhaps her most enduring songs. Her singing is characterized by accomplished vocal technique and strong jazz influences. Etta James won the Grammy for best jazz vocal in 1994 for her album Mystery Lady, a collection of songs associated with Billie Holliday, and in 2004 won the Grammy for best contemporary blues album with Let's Roll. In 2003, she received a Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award.
To a younger generation, Etta James is known for the Muddy Waters song "I Just Wanna Make Love To You", used in television commercials for Coca-Cola and for John Smith's Bitter. The Rolling Stones, Chuck Berry and Foghat have also recorded the song.
In 2003, Etta James received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame and is still actively touring and recording.
