Etta James was born Jamesetta Hawkins January 25, 1938 in Los Angeles, California. James is an American Blues, R&B and gospel singer also known by the nickname Miss Peaches. Born to an unmarried 14 year old mother (although she believes that Minnesota Fats was her father), she received her first professional vocal training at the age of 5, from James Earle Hines, musical director of the Echoes of Eden choir at St. Paul Baptist Church in Los Angeles. 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.

Prisoner Of Love Lyrics
Etta James
Along from night to night
You'll find me
To weak to break the chains
That bind me
I need no shackles
To remind me
That I'm just a prisoner of Love
For one command
I stand and wait now
From one who's master
Of my fate now
I can't escape
For it's too late now
That I'm just a prisoner of love
What's so good of my caring
When someone is sharing
These arm's, with me
Although he has another
I can't have another
For I'm...,I'm not free
He's in my dreams
awake or sleeping, ummm
Up on my knees
To him I'm creeping, oh yeah,yeah...
My very soul is in his keeping
I'm....just a prisoner....of love
