Don't Go to Strangers

Don't Go to Strangers

The career of Etta Jones has been sadly neglected over the years, despite her recording a significant number of excellent albums. It maybe that some records buyers confuse her with Etta James, but right from the off with her debut album Dont Go To Strangers, Etta Jones is her own woman. Dont Go To Strangers was a major hit, helped by a million selling single in the title track, which also hit the Top 40 of the pop charts and Top 5 R&B. Both chart placings were then almost unheard of achievements for a jazz record. The album would also become a steady seller and was honoured with induction into the Grammy Hall of Fame in 2008.
