Does anyone know who originally sang the song “At Last” that was recently redone by Christina Aguilera? I believe it was a re-make, at any rate…

I searched but could not find. Does anyone know? Thanks in advance.

Etta James recorded a song titled “At Last”. First line is “At last my love has come along, my lonely nights are over, and life is like a song.”

I have no idea what the Christina Aguilera song sounds like. Sorry - Hope this helps!

It is a cover of the Etta James classic.
