Losers Weepers is the ninth studio album by the American blues artist Etta James, released in 1971.

The title track peaked at No. 94 on the Billboard Hot 100.

Critical reception

Music Week wrote that "although was in a bad way with narcotics addiction at the time, she turns in some formidable genre-defying vocals encompassing blues, R&B, jazz and deep soul."
