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.
The result of the sessions was the smash hit âTell Mama,â a song co-written by Clarence Carter. âTell Mamaâ was a Top 10 R&B record, and reached #23 on the pop chart. The B-side of that smash was âIâd Rather Go Blind.â Etta had a friend who was in prison named Ellington âFugiâ Jordan. On one visit to the prison, Jordan told her about an idea he had for a song. Etta finished the song, but gave credit to her then-partner Billy Foster (a singer in the Medallions) for tax reasons.
