Black History Month: Etta James

Etta James had an amazingly powerful voice. It was deep, and drew listeners in whenever she sang. I would argue that she really deserves about as much recognition as Aretha Franklin got, but I don't think she ever did get as much as she deserved. However, she clearly had an influence on the industry. Her song At Last is one of the most easily recognizable songs, and even rapper Flo Rida used samples of her singing in the background of one of his latest hits.
