REST IN PEACE
JAMESETTA HAWKINS AKA 'ETTA JAMES'
JANUARY 25, 1938 - JANUARY 20, 2012

According to E! the late R&B great Etta James born Jamesetta Hawkins has succumb to leukemia in Southern California's Riverside Community Hospital. Diagnosed as terminally ill by a doctor two weeks prior the late James was able to be surrounded by the comfort of husband Artis Mills and sons. The singer most notably known for her hit "At Last" was in more recent times known for her minute dismay in Beyonce singing this same hit at the Obama inaugural ceremony. Nothing went past this except from kind words from James in regards to the talent of today's generation. Never a let down Etta James fought her tiny way to 73 years old, now that's a blessing. May you rest in peace Etta James.
