RIP, A Sad Day, Etta is Gone... Thank you . Rest in Peace Etta, you can relax, at last.
Some of you know I sing in a band. I've been singing blues all my life.
Koko Taylor, Elmore James, Ella Fitzgerald, and the incomparable Etta James have influenced me profoundly.
We have lost an incredible vocalist and a woman who made it through many struggles in her life. Through it all; weight problems, failing health, drug addiction, and now cancer, her incredible voice is still the one thing that will never stop.
She has been a large part of my life to the point we used this song as our wedding dance...

PamMmy, She was that good... I have to go put my make up on again... we're going out for Chinese New Year with our Sifu.
Janice, I used to get choked up listening to that song because it was our wedding song, now it's even harder to stay dry eyed...

BU-FU, At Last was a commonly used wedding song, I found out later, but since we got married late, it seemed appropriate as well as we loved it! There was another couple videos, but one had a glitch in the middle, so this is the one I picked. You can see she's not well, but she still sounds amazing!

Sharon, thank goodness for CD's, Mp3's etc! She was an amazing woman!
Seaside Sal, Me too! In fact I had just got in the car and heard the song playing and texted my husband about them 'playing our song' and did he want to dance? He texted back Heck yeah! Then after I got home I had an email waiting from our guitar player about her death. So I texted Dave again with the news.
So sad.
