Remembering Etta James…

21 Jan

This week the music world lost one of the truly great voices-Etta James. She was best known for the song “At Last”-but if that’s all you know her for-you need to broaden your musical horizons…If you can handle it, I recommend buying the 2 CD set The Essential Etta James, from her days at Chess Records. That will get you grounded in her great work-but there’s so much more….
I’m going to share with you a link to the yahoo story on her passing; it does a pretty good job:
