RIP Etta

[w3bny]

Etta James passed away. Another beautiful voice has gone to sing with the big choir.

Heard her sing live at Winterland in San Francisco (with the Grateful Dead, believe it or not) back around 1978 or so. She rocked the joint.

RIP, Etta.

Alas, this was expected. She'd been going downhill for a while.

I've seen her at least 6-8 times over the years. Always AMAZING!

I read the news today oh boy
About a Blues singer who made the grave
And though the news was rather sad
The Apollo marquis has her epitaph

I really wish I had the picture of it I saw on the news, simple yet touching.

this was literally the first piece of news that scrolled by upon waking up yesterday.

i would have loved to see her perform ...
