The tune Etta James sings is called I'd Rather GO Blind and was written by Jordan & Foster!The Freddie King tune is called I'd Rather BE Blind and was written by Leon Russell. IT is the song that 'bluespoppa' and was actually on the TEXAS CANNONBAL album originally. However, I've had a re-issue of that particular album on CD and while it states on the cover that the track is on the album - IT ISN'T!
They are two completely different songs!
