      Sad but not unexpected news. She will still be recalled in 50 years time when memories of more commercial artists have faded.

        a great r&b artist and also Johnny Otis who passed away in the last few days
        According to the best estimates of astronomers there are at least one hundred billion galaxies in the observable universe.

            Must admit I had never heard of Etta James, but am struck by how much she sounds like Dinah Washington, one of my favourite singers. Would the latter have had an influence on the former's development as a singer? Sorry if that's a daft question.

                  one can not sum up an artist but this is an excellent over view of ms James work

                    Can't argue with that except to add 'Somthing's got a hold on me' and 'Tell Mama'.

                      ....and maybe 'The Man I love' - with sax by Red Holloway who died mid March. Paul Jones remembered him this evening on his show. Great playing by Mr Holloway on a terrific version of the song.

                      The Man I Love performed by Etta James From the album Mystery Lady: Songs of Billie Holiday
