Video: A Farewell to Etta James

A Farewell to Etta James



Etta James, whose powerful, versatile and emotionally direct voice could enliven the raunchiest blues as well as the subtlest love songs, most indelibly in her signature hit, “At Last,” died Friday morning in Riverside, Calif. She was 73. 
Her manager, Lupe De Leon, said that the cause was complications of leukemia. Ms. James, who died at Riverside Community Hospital, had been undergoing treatment for some time for a number of conditions, including leukemia and dementia. She also lived in Riverside.
As with any great artist, Etta James leaves behind a lasting musical legacy and impact that will definetly live, so long as there are those who appreciate great music. We hope Etta James is now in peace. R.I.P.
