Etta James, 1938-2012

Today the world is a little more bleak, the heavens shine a little brighter, as we celebrate the life of Etta James, born Jamesetta Hawkins. 

Ms. James, 
You fully, unselfishly revealed to me the awe-inspiring power & beauty of one's voice. In just a few short bars you light a fire within, make my heart ache, bring me to my knees, & then make me stand tall once more. 

Thank you....
