ETTA JAMES - SOMETHING'S GOT A HOLD ON ME


Rest in peace, Etta. One of the finest (perhaps THE finest) ladies of soul that ever laid it all out on the microphone. We are very lucky to be able to enjoy this music, and the heroes who gave their all to perform it for us are fleeting. May they NEVER be forgotten.

from 1962...

Was fortunate to have seen her live numerous times. Even met her once and was able to tell her how much I had treasured her music for years. Ironic losing Johnny and Etta within days of each other. R.I.P. Etta - thankful for all the great music you've left us
