RIP Etta
 

Singing legend Etta James dies at 73 - CNN.com

Been playing a lot of Etta, Ella, old Aretha, Billy etc... for my 11 year old daughter lately.

Want her to understand the difference between a real singer and a manufactured pop star.

Her favorite band for the last few years has been The Beatles.

A rare talent is gone...

RIP Etta James.

Saw her years ago. She was a BIG woman. Great voice, RIP Etta.

WOW! Big talent is right!

A bunch of her vinyl was located to be the Christmas present for a young family member. Some amazing stuff, she will be missed.

They called her Miss Peaches.

:(
My wife got me hooked on Etta close to 30 years ago and have enjoyed every minute

I'll have to check my record collection and spin some vinyl in her honor.

Legendary pipes

Bon voyage Ms James.

RIP, I've got a bunch of Etta on my iPod.

Actually her name was Jamesetta, but she reversed it for a stage name. RIP missy.

She had a rough life and a great talent!

One of the Greats. RIP Etta, and Thanks for the Great Tunes, and the memories that have been made to them.

P.S. Beyonce, quit trying to cover these classics, there's nothing classic about you, and you don't have "it", that Etta had in spades. Stick to Autotune.
