The Life and Tragic Ending of Etta James

Etta's record "I Would Rather Go Blind " is one of the most moving works I have ever heard bar none and is in my top 5 All Time for greatness.

No tragic ending in her life .Etta passed away with all her loved ones by her side . She is the greatest singer since Mahalia Jackson

She is my favorite voice of all time. I listen to and appreciate all genres of music, but when asked my favorite artist, it’s Etta, hands down. I feel she was so underrated and better than a lot that rose higher in fame. She gives me goosebumps. Love you, Miss Etta.

Boy her beauty and her voice was incredible.

Her eyebrows and hair was like none other. A Beautiful Woman.... R.I.P. Etta🙏

My dad's favorite artist, at 95 yrs old. Beautiful voice, hard life never will forget her legacy but prevailed with God's grace. RIH Queen!!

This is a woman with a God giving talent. She Blessed the world with her music. Forever Loved !!!!

Thanks for sharing Etta James story all I know she's as a beautiful voice and her music will live on forever 🙏🙏

She deserves a full length movie based on her life.

That voice!!!!!!! I could listen to her all day

"The way you think of yourself should never shift just because others might have different opinion."

Saw her live in 78…made me weep. She was born in the city I was born in, died in the city I went to high school in, and is buried in a mausoleum that I did the grading and excavation for.

Etta James was so talented Her Habit was her pain . R.I.P. Bless her soul

She lived to be a good old age and even though she was upset about it, she got to hear one of her famous songs sung for the first Black President of the US States of America. She was truly beautiful though she had many struggles.

Everyone talks about how great her voice was after she passed away. Why wasn't she told this when she was alive.

Thank you, this was a lady with a superbe voice indeed

Loved her. She was born to do what she did. Fantastic singer in blues! It also goes to show you that we’re all human and we make mistakes in life and sometimes addiction harder for others. At least she tried but she seem to be around a lot of Temptation and that’s got to be really hard for her. People are weaker than other people. But she tried. Thank God for that. I listen to her music all the time I loved her since I was a kid. I’m a musician as well and I love to watch her when she really feels it in her bones in her music. Till we meet on the other side Rest In Peace Etta.

I was saddened to hear the news what a talented lady with a beautiful voice R.I.P. ETTA WE MISS YOU AND YOU WERE TRULY A DARLING

Her voice was over the top. She sang from the bottom of her soul. May she ever rest in peace.

A real treasure and a great loss to the world of music
