Quillan Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 Probably one of the finest female blues singers the world has ever known and will be sadly missed when she moves on.Etta James terminally ill with cancer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loirette Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 I agree. I was given a 3xCD pack of her songs for my birthday this year. She has a wonderful voice and unique style. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoddy Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 What a sad coincidence. Just two days ago I downloaded her "Don't get around much anymore" on to my ipad.I hope she's being well cared for.Hoddy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quillan Posted December 17, 2011 Author Share Posted December 17, 2011 Some people often compared Amy Winehouse to her but I don't think so, except in self abuse perhaps, James had similar problems with drugs (heroin addict) and booze. Another good artist of the same sort of genre in Adele. However there will always be only one Etta whose style is something special, very sad news indeed.
