Legendary singer Etta James Passed away after complications with Leukemia on January 20th. She was diagnosed with terminal Leukemia just a month prior. She was 73 years old and left behind a husband and two sons Donto and Sammetto. Both sons started performing with her in 2003, Donto on drums and Sametto on bass. Her life was definitely that of a movie. You could see a glimpse of what it was like in the movie Cadillac Music. Etta, who's real name is Jamesetta Hawkins, was a troubled soul. However, she wrote some classic records "At Last", "Tell Mama", "Dance With Me" and "I'd Rather Go Blind". R.I.P. to another fallen legend, who's legacy will continue to live on.
