Letter: Decent singer, dreadful song


Published on Friday 3 February 2012 11:25

RICHARD Kimble may be correct, when he states in his letter to the YEP (January 25) that Etta James, who died last week at the age of 73, was a decent singer but I have always thought that the lyrics of her song I Would Rather Go Blind were dreadful.

The idea that a woman would “rather go blind, boy, than to see you walk away from me” could only be sung by someone who doesn’t know what it’s like to be blind.
