Thanks for the music Etta....

Rest in Peace Etta.

Had the pleasure of meeting and talking to her a couple of times in the 80s.When people say " Keepin' it real " they're talking about this gal.

I also met her once in New York, small gig. Terrific lady...Tuesday, Johnny Otis also died--bandleader, talent scout, man-about-music--and who also shared songwriting credit on Etta's first hit, "Roll With Me Henry" (or "The Wallflower")...We seem to lose more Greats these days than watch them come alive...They will be missed...

A real loss. "Love's Been Rough on Me" is one of my favorite recordings of all time.

Angels have a new voice in heaven.
