Producer Jerry Wexler called Etta James, "The greatest of all modern blues singers." That's great praise coming from a guy who worked with the greatest of the greats for 50 years. On this week's Juke In The Back, Matt The Cat looks at how this incredible legend got started, focusing on Etta's first recordings from 1954 to her great rise in 1960.
