Someone on YouTube called Etta James' performance "stunning" and I agree. I had not realized that Etta James' "At Last" was a cover. I like her version much better than the original (below), which sounds pleasant but more tame and impersonal to me:

"At Last" from the 1942 movie "Orchestra Wives," in which the song is sung by Ray Eberle and Pat Friday, who dubbed for Lynn Bari.
Accompanied by Glenn Miller and his Orchestra
