Etta James discography
The discography for American blues artist Etta James consists of 28 studio albums, 3 live albums, and 6 compilations. She has also issued a total of 58 singles, one of which titled, "The Wallflower (Dance with Me, Henry)," reached #1 on the Rhythm and Blues Records chart in 1955.
After moving to San Francisco, California in the early 1950s, James formed a singing trio, which attracted the attention of Johnny Otis, who helped her sign a recording contract with Modern Records in 1954. She recorded an answer song to Hank Ballard's "Work with Me, Annie," called "The Wallflower (Dance with Me, Henry)" (with her vocal group "The Peaches" singing background vocals), which topped the R&B charts for four weeks in 1955. The Peaches eventually left the label and James recorded as a solo act, having a second Top 10 hit in 1955 with "Good Rockin' Daddy." She continually recorded for the label until the end of the decade, but without much success.
After beginning to date The Moonglows vocalist, Harvey Fuqua, James signed with Chess Records' subsidiary, Argo. Producer Leonard Chess believed James had crossover Pop potential and backed her material with orchestral arrangements. With this new style, many of James's songs became hits on both the R&B and Pop charts, such as "All I Could Do Was Cry, "At Last," and "Trust in Me."〔 She released her debut album, ''At Last!'' in 1960, followed by ''The Second Time Around'' in 1961. In 1967, James changed her music into more Soul-inspired material, and had her first Top 10 hit in three years with "Tell Mama," which was followed by an album of the same name.〔〔 In the 1970s, her popularity declined on radio, but remained under Chess records, recording five albums for the label, departing from them with 1975's ''Etta Is Betta Than Evvah''.
After battling drug and alcohol addictions, James returned with her first studio album in nine years in 1989 titled, ''Seven Year Itch'' on Island Records. Her two albums in the early 90s for Island and later Elektra, varied in style from contemporary to Soul, but James eventually settled in on the Private Music label.〔 Recording a total of ten albums for the label between 1997 and 2002, her albums included variations of contemporary blues to traditional Jazz, such as her 1997 tribute album to Billie Holiday titled, ''Mystery Lady: Songs of Billie Holiday.''〔 In 2004, she signed with RCA Victor and released ''Blues to the Bone'' that same year, followed by a Pop standards release, ''All the Way,'' in 2006.〔
