Just love this song and the way both Etta and Adele sing this. Thought I would offer my humble attempt. Sorry for all the mistakes. Thank you to JesseQL for the track.

I have missed you all and just want to say a huge heartfelt thank you for all the support and love that you have given to me especially over this past while with my mom. I feel like the most fortunate soul to have found myself surrounded by your incredible friendship here in YouTube land. I love you guys! Thank you.

Etta was born Jamesetta Hawkins and is best known for performing "At Last." Her album titled The Second Time Around featured the song, "Fool That I Am", and this song was a Top 15 hit.

Within the last couple of years Jully Black's performance of Etta James song "Seven Day Fool" charted number 9 on the Canadian Hot 100. This song was released to Canadian radio in August of 2007 and became Jully's first top 10 single. Cool, "eh?" :-) LOL! (Yes, I had to add a Canadian touch to this song. LOL).

To me Etta is an all time vocal diva! LOVE HER!!

Lyrics:

Fool that I am

For falling in love with you

Fool, that I am

For thinking you loved me too.

You took my heart

And then played the part

Of little Coquette

No all my dreams

Just disappeared

Like the smoke from a cigarette

Fool that I am

For hoping you'd understand

And thinking you

Would listen to

All the things I had planned

But we couldn't see eye to eye

So Darlin', Darlin', Darlin'

This is goodbye

Oh I still care

Fool that I am

I still care

Fool that I am

Adele said when she was just starting out that Etta James definitely impacted her singing style. She chose a great musical legend to emulate.

@practicing4 So true, Min. The oldies were done with a big heart, nowdays it's just a "music-production" by the big companies. But theres always someone good in the new ones too, but like you said, they have an "old sound".
