Not likely by those that knew and loved her music. I was fortunate enough to see her three times, and the woman could flat out sing. Vaya con Viente, Etta.
RIP. My 7-year old grand-daughter is in love with Etta's rendition of "At Last". Yup, 7. She has good taste For the young-uns here. Etta's version of a Harptones' classic. Also, RIP to Johnny Otis. Otis was instrumental in getting R&B stars Etta James, Little Esther, Jackie Wilson, Big Mama Thornton, Hank Ballard, and the Robins (later The Coasters) getting started. Some "No §hit, really?" stories if you listen to the interview.
Came around on my IPOD shuffle a couple days ago. All those American Idol dopes should listen to that song and learn something. RIP
