"At Last" was written in 1941 by Mack Gordon and Harry Warren for the Orchestra Wives, a musical film. It was performed within the film and later recorded by Glenn Miller and his Orchestra, sung by Ray Eberle and Pat Friday. The song reached number 9 on the Billboard pop charts in 1942, staying on the charts for nine weeks. In 1960, it was covered by blues singer Etta James arranged by Riley Hampton. James' version was the title track in the same-named album At Last! and was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame in 1999.
Etta's version was soul blues, a style of blues music that developed in the late 1960s and early 1970s that combines elements of soul music and urban contemporary music.
