"At Last" is a song with music by Harry Warren and lyrics by Mack Gordon, written in 1941 for the musical film Sun Valley Serenade. The film's vocal number by Payne and Bari was cut from the final release, but instrumental versions of the song remained. Glenn Miller and His Orchestra recorded an instrumental version in April 1941. A vocal version by Glenn Miller with Ray Eberle, recorded in Hollywood on May 20, 1942 for RCA Victor, entered the Billboard chart on August 1, 1942, peaked at number two on August 29, and stayed on the chart for 17 weeks, and the song became a standard. The vocal arrangement was used in the film Orchestra Wives (1942). Etta James recorded the song in 1960 with an arrangement by Riley Hampton; it was the title track of her debut album At Last! and was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame in 1999. Ray Anthony's 1952 version reached number two on the Billboard pop chart. Other notable recordings include those by Nat King Cole (1957) and Gene Watson (1991). The song is classed as jazz, pop standard and swing.
