Etta James Rest In Peace

The dynamic singer Etta James passed away this morning (1/20/12), only days before her 74th birthday. Her awards were numerous, her influence wide reaching, her style sublime. This, and the recent passing of the great Johnny Otis, could dampen the early excitement of the new year. So, do some research or reminisce at a high volume and with respect.
