Mack Gordon and Harry Warren's composition, "At Last", for the musical Sun Valley Serenade provided little reason to think the song would become a mandatory wedding dance or an anthem for inauguration of the country's first black president.

Less than 20 years later, up-and-coming r&b vocalist Etta James transformed the song, courtesy of arranger Riley Hampton.
