Really! How sad.
Etta James rest in peace.
Not her most popular song, but in this case, perfect.
Etta James, whose powerful, versatile and emotionally direct voice could enliven the raunchiest blues as well as the subtlest love songs, most indelibly in her signature hit, “At Last,” died Friday morning in Riverside, Calif. She was 73.
Her manager, Lupe De Leon, said that the cause was complications of leukemia. Ms. James, who died at Riverside Community Hospital, had been undergoing treatment for some time for a number of conditions, including leukemia and dementia. She also lived in Riverside.

The journey of a thousand miles must begin with a single step.


A lot of the greats are coming to the end...
Coarse edged youth, the irish pendants string from their smiles
not yet plucked as to slacken the seams
and drag down the features of age,
no folds or creases from unkempt wear
eyes of tranquilty, crystalline-beads
no sign of despair in their hair, nor their hearts
but oh they have yet to be experienced and that makes aging so very worth it...ML circa2012
Some of her hits/more popular recordings.
Just a girl.... Looking for muscles!!


Rest in Peace.![]()


RIP Etta. She had real talent, not like these auto-tuned pop stars of today.
