Etta James

[Deepest Blue]

Fabulous singer.

I don't throw out superlatives cheaply but she really was excellent.

Not surprised she's gone, however. There's a website called "Death List 2012" which gives a rundown of 50 famous people who will be lucky to see the year out and Etta was at #1 so the writing was on the wall for her.

Read it and weep . . . . Never so appropriate?
