sail on Etta james and Cesaria Evora

[he came from london]

I saw Etta James at the London Palladium 17 years ago and of course Cesaria Evora is the singer that Jimmy went to Cape Verde to see when he first met Ilo Ferriera.

and the signature song

Etta James and Wolfman Jack
Wow

[Tiki Torches]

I wasn't aware of it until recently but apparently Etta recorded a version of "I Can Give You Everything" which was originally written by Al Anderson (NRBQ) and Terry Anderson (Fabulous Knobs, the Woods, Olympic A$$ Kickin' Team, The Yayhoos).

*Edited to add: This is a clip of Etta's version of "I Can Give You Everything" that was only recently uploaded to YouTube. For anyone that's interested in hearing it, Terry's rendition of the song can be heard on The Yayhoos' debut album, Fear Not the Obvious.
