Only Time Will Tell - Etta James

Only Time Will Tell - Etta James
3:22
single, 1966
Written by Maurice McAlister & Terry Vail

O listen!

James belts this one out with as much fervor as any sweaty soul godfather.  The narrator's man is gone, and she's not sure if he'll be back.  There are clues, but nothing definite.  Once it seems like he really isn't coming back, she tidies up.  If he is gone, will she ever get over it?  Only time will tell.  A fantastic performance from the matriarch of R&B.
