For Etta James

[Little Miss]

I'm just picturing a special place in Heaven where all the greats are resting at, and they're welcoming Miss. James right about now ♥

[Cherry Club Inc.]

Very True, so sad to see all the great souls leave us! So many greats that can never be replaced! <3 to Etta!!!

[John at My Favorite Pinups{★}]

Etta was one of the greats

despite, or maybe because of, her personal demons

Her catalog from Chess is in my personal collection and should be in yours too

[Little Miss]

Lovely. Her voice is so powerful!

Thank you so much, Little Miss!...When I was a teenage delinquent in New York in the early 60's, my cousins and I used to sing this song and others " acappella", in the school restrooms, because the tiles gave great echo!...Also, I always felt another recently departed singer, Amy Wineheart, reminded me of the great Lady Etta. Such a shame and waste in her case, as in many young stars through the years. Happy New Year!

That's a fun story lol =). It's funny how much music impacts our lives....

When I was a kid I didn't understand the look of sadness on my fathers face, when a great singer or actor passed. I get it now when we lose someone of that caliber, it's like losing a loved one and  you can get them back I'm sure she's found her place in HEAVEN and is  still making beautiful music. Gone but never forgotten!!!!!!!!!!
