I'd Rather Go Blind is a bluessong written by Ellington Jordan[SUP] [/SUP]and co-credited to Billy Foster. It was first recorded by Etta Jamesin 1967, released in 1968, and has subsequently become regarded as a blues and soulclassic.
In 1978, James teamed up with Jerry Wexler and recorded âIâd Rather Go Blindâ as âBlind Girlâ for the Warner Brothers album, Deep In The Night. This version, with a slower tempo, saxophone-laden intro, and acoustic guitar, finds considerable new life in the song.
