School secretary thrilled for summer vacation, belts out Etta James classic 'At Last'
A North Carolina school receptionist with the voice of an angel stunned students on the last day of school when she belted out the Etta James classic "At Last" over the PA system.
Regina Ballard posted the video on Facebook on June 13. Five days later, her secretarial singing has been shared 14,000 times.
“I love my job, y'all, but I look forward to summers when I can spend time with my grands & family, sooo...here it is...At Last!!!” Ballard wrote in her post. “That’s it. It’s 3 o’clock, y’all. At 3:15, it’s official.”
Then she belted out the jazzy song. A crowd in the background then erupted in thunderous applause for her. And more than a 1,000 people wrote on her page complimenting her voice, many urging someone to give her a singing contract.
