Betty Wright - Tonight is the Night

I have been listening to a lot of female Soul and R&B artists lately: Etta James, Tina Turner, Billie Holliday, Aretha Franklin and of course Betty Wright. Wright has a powerful voice and matches it with equally powerful lyrics. With a number of her songs being all about sex, she was able to paint a picture of something that most women would have been scared to voice publicly.

"This is the story of a young girl making love for the very first time . . . So everybody, think back to your very first time" That is about all you need to know about "Tonight is the Night" to know that it belongs here.

Etta James - At Last

Though "At Last" might be best suited for your wedding night, you might want to pack a copy of Etta James most prized album: Love Songs for more than just your honeymoon. If the title of the album does not tell it all, then surely the words to the song will:

"And here we are in heaven
For you are mine
At last"

"At Last" did not win a Grammy for nothing. Etta James, one of the greatest female artists to do it, has already inked herself in the history books with her jazzy and soulful style. And I am sure that if you enjoyed "At Last" that you will also enjoy "Sunday Kind of Love."
