Ettagirl!!! Beyonce--You Are Both Fabulous!
What could be better than Beyonce playing the incredible singing master, Etta James? Ever since I saw Beyonce in "Dream Girls" http://www.dreamgirlsmovie.com/I have been a fan. Her voice, style and even her acting. She is major.
I'm going to see "Cadillac Records" http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1042877/ tonight, starring Beyonce as Etta James-- raw times and all. I expect it will be a really excellent pop movie. Great for the beginning of the holidays!
Singing Star Woes
James was born Jamesetta Hawkins 1938 in L.A. She was on the road singing as a teenager in the 1950s and has been singing ever since. Four Grammys and 17 Blues Foundation Awards later (plus other awards) James is still singing and thrilling us with her amazing talent. She's had a rocky life finally licking heroin at 50 and a subsequent weight gain.
Etta James on Top Again
At 69 she is more fabulous than ever--a true Juicy Green Goddess. At Last (http://www.ilike.com/artist/Etta+James/track/At+Last) she will be recognized by a younger generation and bring them the wonder and joy she has to us old geezers.
