Etta James

Singer Etta James bridged the gap between rhythm and blues and rock and roll, and was a six-time Grammy winner. Hits included "Dance with me, Henry," "Tell Mama," and "At last."

Like many great soul singers of the past,
her appetite for heroin was vast.
But you've got to pay your dues,
if you want to sing the blues.
Etta's gone to her final rest, at last.
