Etta James: A Singer With Lots of Style

In the late 1930s, Etta James was born in Los Angeles, California. She really got her musical star going strong in the 1950s. Johnny Otis got Etta James moving right along with a group he put the name of 'Peaches' on. Before long, Etta James was on tour with people like Little Richard, Marvin Gaye and Bo Diddley. Little Richard and the rockin' Bo Diddley could truly get the job done, also.The woman became a success with some strong and so profound R and B tunes. It was good that she worked with numerous big names because it gave her work a lot of good polish and style. Listened to her sensational song 'Something's Got a Hold on Me' recently and my, my it was so terrific and powerful. When she developed that song 'At Last' it was really tremendous. Her voice is dominant and has so much musical impact. Bless you Etta James.

Nice Writing

THE GOOD terse writing of Ernest Hemingway is a real joy.  He does not use too many adjectives.  His 'Torrents' is a fine tome.
