News of out Los Angeles is not good for the family and fans of the great Etta James. In rapidly failing health, the great Ms. James spent Christmas on a respirator in a Riverside hospital suffering from end stage leukemia and dementia caused by Alzheimer's. Her family hopes that she will get out of the hospital and again be with them but reports don't look good. I wanted to throw up a couple of Etta James tracks so you can get an idea of how she sounded in her prime. Best wishes and prayers to Etta!
"At Last," "Sunday Kind of Love," "Tell Mama" and "Damn Your Eyes" are possibly Etta James four greatest and most well known performances. But her catalog is rich with lesser known gems!
