Etta James died this morning January 20th 2012 at the age of 73 in a Los Angeles hospital. Etta James was a singer before my time, a singer Generation X heard about in passing. She's definitely a woman this generation should know and study. A woman who represented the struggle of Black artist of the past. A singer who help lay the path for all the singers of today.
Do you know what she was doing before "Pageant Girl" predator looked her way and said to herself I can use Etta's ENERGY to make myself bigger? Before this "Pageant Girl" freak decided to morph into her character and suck away what little she had. Etta was performing her hit "At last" around the world. She felt so much pride and joy in singing the hit song she was well-known for.
She gave the "Pageant Girl" predator the OK, to sing her song in a movie that loosely depicted her life. But just like with most selfish people, that was not good enough. "Pageant Girl" predator had to suck all the life from Etta by taking her song and performing it at the inauguration ball for the Obama's. That really hurt Etta James:
