Murray Head

The song "One Night in Bangkok," from Chess, featuring Head on lead vocal, became a radio hit. In 2003 she received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Despite these successes, he received little public attention in the next ten years, reappearing in the spotlight in 1984 as the star of the musical, Chess. Drug-related and romantic problems interfered with her career, but James managed to maintain a career throughout the latter half of the 20th century and was inducted into both the Rock and Roll and Blues Halls of Fame. At around the same time he won a leading role in the Oscar-winning Sunday Bloody Sunday (1971), alongside Peter Finch and Glenda Jackson. The Rolling Stones, Chuck Berry and Foghat have also recorded the song but it is Etta's version that is best known. He had limited success until selected by Tim Rice and Andrew Lloyd Webber to play Judas Iscariot on the original album version of Jesus Christ Superstar. To a younger generation, Etta is known for the Muddy Waters song "I Just Wanna Make Love To You", used in television commercials for Coca-Cola and for John Smith's bitter.

Head began acting and writing songs as a child, and by the mid-1960s had a London recording contract. In 2003 she received a Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award. His younger brother is "Buffy" star, Anthony Stewart Head. She won the Grammy for best jazz vocal in 1994 for her CD Mystery Lady, a collection of songs associated with Billie Holliday, and in 2004 won the Grammy for best contemporary blues album with Let's Roll. He was born in London, his parents being Seafield Head, a documentary-maker, and Helen Shingler, an actress. Her singing is characterized by accomplished vocal technique and strong jazz influences. Murray Head (born March 5, 1946) is a British actor and singer. In 1967, James recorded "Tell Mama" and "I'd Rather Go Blind", with "At Last" perhaps her most enduring songs, in Muscle Shoals.

James released several duets with Harvey Fuqua (of The Moonglows) that became major R&B hits, as well as her classic "At Last." However, her mainstream success was limited. The song was later a hit in the white market for Georgia Gibbs, re-written as "Dance with Me, Henry." She briefly recorded as Etta James & the Peaches, releasing several hits before signing to Chess Records in 1960. Otis reversed the syllables of her first name to give her her stage name and began recording her. Her first record, and her first R & B hit, was her own composition, "The Wallflower," an answer song to Hank Ballard's "Work with Me, Annie." She recorded it in 1954 with the Otis band and Richard Berry, who sang the second vocal. Her family moved to San Francisco, California in 1950, and in 1952 the trio (the Creolettes) she had formed with two of her friends came to the attention of Johnny Otis.
