    R.I.P. Etta baby.

    At least she got some wider recognition towards the end because of that tv commercial. What do you know, tv does some good.

    I was in a band that covered some of her tunes. We had a really good female singer, but she was no Etta James :cool:

    Rip now, Etta.

    I will play some of your songs soon.
    Most people just listen to music and watch movies. I EXPERIENCE them.
