R.I.P. Etta James

I fell in love with Etta James in my first year of University. I hear her cover of "I Just Wanna Make Love to You" and was completely hooked.

Her strong, sometimes sweet and sometimes raspy voice was never far from my head. I turned to her when I was sad, when I was happy and when I needed a song to motivate me to find the better path in life.

She tried hard, I believe. And I like to think she succeeded. She will forever be an imagine of impossible strength, and for that, I'll always have her in my heart.

This past weeks show started off as a tribute to Etta James and just sort of evolved from there. The show will be available for download next week. Keep your eyes here for the link when its available.
