Etta James “the greatest of all modern blues singers …" died on Friday, January 20, 2012

Rick Lowe

Unfortunately it happens to us all - we just need to live long enough.

The blues world has lost one of the greats in Etta James (1938 - 2012).

She led what many would consider a tortured life, but she was something special at the microphone.

Rest In Peace.
