Etta James: 1938-2012

If you loved her, chances are you’ll love Ruby Wilson. This album is dynamite, but in a very long and celebrated career I think she’s only cut two albums.

A sad day for music and a sad day for crossword puzzles.

Yeah, and you can tell that she was serious about the part where she wanted to be the one to sing it, but putting on a bit about wanting to kick Beyonce’s ass.

No, carnivorous plant, she didn’t have the weight problem. She was slim. A lot of her banter was about how much happier she was as a slim woman, and I was happy for her, but I sheepishly admit, I liked her and identified with her as a big mama.

Chefguy, I will check out that link when I get home. I’m doing some Saturday overtime right now and can’t click it.

Missed the edit window, but wanted to say I was able to click the Ruby Wilson link after all…I thought it would be a youtube video.

If you scroll down, you can listen to small bits of the cuts.
