At Last!
: essential recording:This is Etta James's first full-length album, recorded for Chess Records' Argo subsidiary in 1960. It taps all aspects of her then-blossoming talent. There's the crooning rock ballad 'My Dearest Darling' and the elegantly symphonic 'Sunday Kind of Love.'

And there's a version of Harold Arlen's 'Stormy Weather,' which Lena Horne made famous. James's fine way with ...

Aided by richly detailed but not overdone production, Off the Wall redefined how much Michael might do. Tracks like 'Don't Stop 'Til You Get Enough,' 'Rock with You,' the title cut (all Top 10 singles), and 'Burn this Disco Out' not only consolidated his dance-floor power, but showed ...
