MUSIC CHATTER AND MATTER

The Very Thought of You.

Posted over 2 years ago

Though this song has been done by nearly every artist since it was written in 1934 by Ray Noble, this is by far my favorite version. It is on the tribute album to Billie Holiday, who did a cute, sped up version of this song. I guess I just love the way Etta sings it. It is slow and sexy. Great song by a great lady.

  1. soulrocket says i am more used at the wild r&b/soul/funk side of etta, this song catched me by surprise. she can perform any song given with that voice, however i cant help finding her kind of constricted here. i was expecting her to explode at some point, but it didnt happen. in my opinion this song would fit better on a skinny lady than the wild sexy fat mama etta has always been.
