    She was so amazing. Her health was in the gutter here, and her performance was still utterly awe inspiring

    Etta James was the incomparable queen of soul.
    Every word she sings evokes pain and suffering.
    Etta could talk the talk and definitely walk the walk.
    One of the greatest singers of all time.
    This woman is an American legend.
    RIP Miss Etta...
    You were the best!

    So many times I cried my eyes out over my ex ....to watch that man walk away literally made me want to be dead rather than feel the pain of the loss.
    What a surprise 25 yrs later when he said I was the best woman he ever had and HE WAS BLIND ...
    HELL NO I DIDNT TAKE HIS LYING, CHEATING, WOMANIZING, MANSPLAINING, NARCISIST ASS BACK.
    Best revenge ever was to see him crushed that I raised our boys to be amazing without him, built a business that afforded me a very abundant life AND I grew tremendously as a soul from that relationship and the perceived loss, which was absolutely a gift. A profound gift that propelled me on to great things! His face when I said "thank you" for all that lying and cheating and abuse ...Thank You, sincerely!! It made me the strong, forgiving amazing woman and survivor I AM.

    This is one of the best versions of one of the sublime-est LOVE songs ever written, and a song now symbolic and a de facto anthem for those Romantics still left, a song written by Etta herself, and she now stands as a heroine against a pathologic and pathogenic culture and era in which a veto-proof two thirds majority of women claim to "neither need nor want sex or love." It's Venus now on the crucifix and Etta will always be one of her greatest dLong Live Etta

    My I never tire from listening to Etta and especially when its live performances from so many years ago up in til her passing. She had a sad life at times but thats why she can sing like she does. Always brings tears to my eyes. Its so sad and especially the older you get the more people pass away. When your young its usually a tragic car accident or a serious disease but when you hit 60, 70 yrs old you lose alot more pfriwnds, family etc due to age, sickness , etc. She seems to be or become a very honest regarding her growing up years and the drug use etc. But when she spoke honestly I think 8t helps people to realize all the money, talent, lifestyle some performers can't just go on and on them sometimes not even knowing what city they are arriving at for her performance I mean its alot of pressure. I love her she was real.
