Townswoman Crystal sent in the following get-well note to Etta James.
I would like to send my personal get well wishes to one of my favorite singers, Etta James. She is currently being hospitalized for complications from stomach surgery. I first saw her on a tribute at the Kennedy Center, where she gyrated and practically scared the pants off the old, stuck-up senators. It was pure love after that.
If you haven’t checked out any of her stuff, it’s amazing. Start with the Essential Etta James released by Chess Records. It does feature “At Last” but also tracks like “W-O-M-A-N” , “All I Could Do Was Cry”, “Losers, Weepers”, and “Stop the Wedding”.
Feel better, Etta:)
yeah, etta’s the queen. get betta!!!! we LOVE you!
a shout out to chase utley, too. i could hear that ball hit his wrist on the RADIO. ouch. get bettah…chase!
Darnit. She was going to be at the Newport Jazz Festival in three weeks.
Feel better soon.
