Etta James n'est plus..


Je suis un fan de blues et de jazz. Comme beaucoup d'amateurs de ces styles musicaux, je connaissais Etta James pour bon nombre de ses interprétations et je possédais quelques albums. Je vous laisse un lien pour un article et un vidéo de "The Very Thought of You"
 

"The powerhouse singer, known as "Miss Peaches," lived an eventful life. She first hit the charts as a teenager, taking "The Wallflower (Roll With Me, Henry)" -- an "answer record" to Hank Ballard's "Work With Me, Annie" -- to No. 1 on the R&B charts in 1955. She joined Chess Records in 1960 and had a string of R&B and pop hits, many with lush string arrangements. After a mid-decade fade, she re-emerged in 1967 with a more hard-edged, soulful sound. Throughout her career, James overcame a heroin addiction, opened for the Rolling Stones, won six Grammys and was voted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Despite her ups and downs -- including a number of health problems -- she maintained an optimistic attitude."
