Etta, you are and always will be my favorite singer. I have loved your music since the mid fifties. When my husband and I renewed our marriage vows in 2007, I jokingly told a couple of my friends that I was trying to get in touch with you, so you could sing "At Last". Etta, others will try, but that song was your heart. No one can ever measure up to "U".R.I.P.
February 7, 2012
I truly cried when I heard about her death. I quickly YouTube her to hear her sing the most famous "At Last"...but my other favorites by her was "Tell Mama" & "I rather go blind" thank you Ms Etta James for your voice, your style of singing most of all the talent you brought to the would. Your songs will live on... again thank you... (a fan from Campbell OH)

I loved your music when I first heard your song, "Pushover." I was around 7 or 8 years old, and said wow, I love this song. Later years, I would love some of the most memorable of all of them, "I'd Rather Go Blind." Thanks for many, many years of wonderful music. May you rest in peace until we all meet again. You were truly one of the greatest singers to ever grace this planet.

When I first got my new iPhone one of the first ringtones I purchased was " Tell Mama". I have always admired Ms. James's voice and musical talent all my life. Her voice was distinguishable from other singers . She was in a class of her own. She will be sorely missed. My deepest condolences go out her family.

To the family of this great lady, who touched some many around the world in some very many ways with her voice through music, will always be remembered and missed.
I used her song to meet my wife coming up the isle at our wedding almost four years ago. Even though it was the Lou Rawles version.
May you find peace and comfort in knowing that mother was loved around the world and is now recieving more love now from God her creator.
