May be temporarily unavailable so listen to the version by Beyoncé as she sang it playing Etta James in Cadillac Girls
At last : click here
Write down as much as you understand without listening to the lyrics (if you couldn't listen to the original Etta James version AND THEN LOOK AT THE LYRICS.
NOW FIND the connection between Beyoncé's version and Barack Obama. What is it?
Look at this photo. CLICK HERE
What is the connection between it and Etta James' song, "At Last"? When and where was it taken? ( If you don't know the answer, search for it.)
What adjectives or other words would you use to describe this photo? How does it make you feel? What thoughts do you have about it? Write OR plan to say 100 words.
To end, I'll link a song that I like so much. I'ts not a classic soul song! but is something called neo-soul (like hip-hop, but in a indigo mood) with one of the best talented woman currently living in that kind of music: Erikah Badu, she is fromm Dallas, and a very special singer.

I really like this song because talk about something important as, in every situation we must start with ourselves, knowing that one is all. Talk about an union with the other from me, not an egoism where only I matter.
Also love formal aspects of music like time, arrangements, bass line and trumpets and, of course, her special voice.
I foreground (?¿?¿? destacar?) some of the lyrics but I invite my classmates to listen and find out what she says!!
"sometimes I don't know what to say
so many leaders to obey
But I was born On saviors day, yes
So I chose me
And in the world Of greed and hate
They may try To erase my face
But millions Spring up in my place
Ooh, believe in me
As sure is all And all is one
We all should grow"
kisses for you all!! :)

This is my favourite song because its lyrics are really good, full of message. I recommend you to listen it carefully. On the other hand, it remembers me when I was younger.
I think when I get married I´ll use this song instead the typical wedding song!!
