I remember when i was about 13, I had a big bumper sheet music book of soul songs.'I Would Rather Go Blind' was one of them I had never heard it but started playing it and trying to work out the melody. When my dad heard me singing it he was like 'That's Etta James she is amazing', he then played her CD to me and I adored it! Her pain and her feeling was just so raw in the way she told a story and that will be remembered forever.
R.I.P Etta
