Etta James: Payin' The Cost
Bill Millar, Melody Maker, 23 September 1978
YOU CAN ENJOY Etta James as a throwback to the rockin' Fifties. You can admire her as the apotheosis of Sixties soul performing ghetto clubs while the more decorous Aretha triumphed over white concert halls. If your taste in black music extends no deeper than Little Eva you'd like Etta doing 'Push-over'.
