From complications to leukemia.
Her best known song, "At Last" is rendered in 7 different versions here:

Re: Etta James Passes

Yeah just saw this. Only really started getting interested in her last year, but she quickly became one of my favourites. Only just found out she wrote a book so I'm bumping that up to be one of my next purchases.

An amazing woman, a stunning voice, pure talent, all heart.
Rest in peace, Ms. James. At last.

How weird is it when you read "Etta James Passes" and the first thing that comes to your mind is "At last..."?
