I found a couple more clips of Etta James performances. The video on these is not all that great, but the audio is pretty good, and that's what counts.
A cover of the Eagles' "Take It To The Limit"
"Tell Mama"
"Damn Your Eyes"

In the Garden
Sister Rosetta Tharpe, Delois Barrett Campbell and Professor Alfred Miller performing "In the Garden".
I found this video a couple days ago, and decided to use it for today's post. Then this morning I heard an interview with Marilynne Robinson about her new book, When I Was a Child I Read Books. She talks about this very song. Though I have heard this song many times, her interview was the first time I realized that the song was written from the perspective of Mary Magdalene.
