I'd Rather Go Blind - Etta James - MP3 instrumental karaoke

One of Etta James's signature hits, "I'd Rather Go Blind" shows the power, passion and unrivaled talent of the late, great US star who in her lifetime won six Grammy Awards, 17 Blues Music Awards and was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, the Grammy Hall of Fame and the Blues Hall of Fame. Released as the B-side of her 1967 single "Tell Mama," "I'd Rather Go Blind" was written by Ellington Jordan and co-credited to Billy Foster and Etta James and became a bona fide Southern blues classic, fully charged with emotion and heartache that reaches its peak with the lyrics, "And baby, And baby, I would rather, I would rather be blind boy / Than to see you walk away, see you walk away from me, yeah / Baby, baby, baby, I'd rather be blind now." "I'd Rather Go Blind" has been covered by various artists including Beyoncé, Rod Stewart and Dua Lipa.
