“Tell Mama” #23 1/20/1968

Etta James never had a huge pop hit, but was very successful on the R&B side throughout the 60’s. This was a reworking of the first R&B chart entry for Clarence Carter, titled “Tell Daddy.” Etta used many of the same musicians from Clarence’s track, as both were done in Muscle Shoals. Janis Joplin performed this many times in concert.
