Never really was my generation's music, just found her on Avicii's Levels. Still an amazing singer.

I remember reading this was Adele's favorite singer and her inspiration... Another great one has left.

A lot has been mentioned about Etta James having a big hit with "At Last", but she was also a killer blues singer. A song from her amazing live Chess album:

A wonderful voice silenced, save for her recordings. She will be missed. R.I.P. Ms. James. 🙁
