“Etta James. It's the essential. It has everything on it. She is just such a formidable and dynamic, emotional soul singer. 'I Would Rather Go Blind' is my favorite song on this album. It just takes you everywhere. It just really rips your heart out. To me, it's like, yeah, it's perfect.”Watch this moment
