The iconic Etta James (born Jamesetta Hawkins passed today 5 days from her 74th birthday in a hospital in Riverside California due to complications with Leukemia which she was diagnosed with in 2010. The Rock n Roll hall of fame inductee's music was too epic to fit in any genre and has inspired hundreds of recording artists who've proceeded her. I remember my grandmother and mother blasting "at last" (my grandmothers favorite) and "somethings got a hold on me" (mom's favorite) all through the house when i was younger singing her music word for word while cleaning the house, ill never forget that.
All i could do is cry (cover by beyonce for "cadillac records" movie)
