This time it's final.... Wonderful Etta James has passed.

She's singing with the angels...

I published before, and Etta recovered for a bit. She was suffering with leukemia, kidney failure, chronic hepatitis and Alzheimer's disease.

Well, her suffering (if she was, at this point) is now over. Etta's passing was announced by her family. Etta, thank you for blazing the path for so many other talents to come. Thank you for the wonder of your voice and your courage.

Here's Beyonce singing Etta's trademark song, "At Last" from the film "Cadillac Records"...

Farewell, dear Lady. Colours could be a little greyer for me, but then I listened to your wonderful voice, and it was hard for me to be sad. Every time I listen to you will be to celebrate and remember you. RIP, and thank you.:smitten:
