RIP Etta James

[IronWing]

Story

Bummer, and only two days after her once manager Johnny Otis.

This is HORRIBLE news She's one of the all time greats, and has spent most of her life where I live. I'm friends with 1 of her 2 sons, I can't even imagine what he's going thru. Even back in her heyday there were no artists on her level. And no way in hell we'll ever have another like her again.

R.I.P. Ms. James
