The album was released on a 12-inch LP and consisted of ten tracks, with five of them on each side of the bleedin' vinyl record. The album spawned only one single, "Fools Rush In," which reached the oul' lower ends of the feckin' Billboard Pop Chart in 1962, would ye believe it? The single's B-side, "Next Door to the Blues" was a holy major R&B hit, however it was not included on the bleedin' album. Here's another quare one for ye. The album however includes cover versions of Pop and Jazz standards, includin' "Don't Take Your Love from Me" and "Someone to Watch Over Me." The album has never been re-issued on compact disc like James's previous two albums. Despite not bein' given a holy review, Allmusic gave Etta James Sings for Lovers three out of five stars. Holy blatherin' Joseph, listen to this.
