Etta: Free..At Last

It seems God needed another blues singer to help out the rest of the incredible choir playing up there, right beside him.  Etta has 'at last' been freed from the suffering she so long endured.

While this blog offered tribute to her in December, in a post titled "Etta James: Let Her Touch Your Heart.", a friend gave me some attitude this morning about not giving her another shout out. And he was right...damn, it hurt to say that.

While another Etta taste is always enjoyable, instead I offer my tribute to her.  A slice of the blues from Elmore James singing what I feel..."The Sky Is Crying."

Easy journey Etta.

Etta James: Let Her Touch Your Heart

Etta James has always been one of my favorite singers.  Most people know her from the many commercials that "At Last" has appeared in.  But Etta has always been so much more than one song...wonderful as it is.


Word comes that her voice will become silent before too long.  A great loss, but the past several years have been extremely hard for this once vibrant and feisty singer.


For a wonderful taste of Etta, listen to "I'd Rather Go Blind" , feel her soul come through.


Easy journey Etta.
