R.I.P Etta James

With unforgettable songs such as "At Last", "Dance With Me Henry", and "Tell Mama", Etta James was an incredible musician.  For decades, people will remember her and her phenomenal voice.  A voice that, as some have put it, can be raspy deep and soulful, and then turn to silk at the drop of a dime.  She was a master of jazz and blues and will forever influence R&B singers who aspire to have the soul she had.  Etta sadly was diagnosed with leukemia last year and passed away this morning just 5 days before her 74th birthday.  Honor her memory with a listen of the timeless classic, "At Last".
