Etta James dies age 73

Ah man, this is sad news. Singing legend Etta James, whose assertive, soulful voice lit up such hits as 'My Funny Valentine', 'Something's Got a Hold on Me' and the wedding favorite 'At Last', has died, according to her longtime friend and manager, Lupe De Leon. She was 73 and had been diagnosed with leukemia in 2010. James, who also suffered from dementia and hepatitis C, died at a hopsital in Riverside, California. 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 always maintained an optimistic attitude. Read the full story HERE, and enjoy one of my favourite tracks of all-time below.
