Etta James born in Los Angeles California in 1938 is one of the best blues singer i have seen, she is so soulful its just amzing her voice is increadible, cadillac records is a movie where Beyounce playes Etta James its a great movie about her life. I am sure Beyounce is also a big fan of her, and she is a great inspiration for Beyounce. For me she is a legend like Tina Turner or Chuck Barry who is good friend of Etta.
