Etta James terminally ill: Doctor declares ‘At Last’ singer’s chronic leukemia as incurable

Quote:

RIVERSIDE, Calif. — “At Last” and “Tell Mama” blues singer Etta James, whose health has been fading in recent years, is now terminally ill, and her live-in doctor is asking for prayers.

Dr. Elaine James, who isn’t related to the 73-year-old entertainer, tells the Riverside Press-Enterprise that the singer’s chronic leukemia was declared incurable two weeks ago.

Neither the first nor the last version of "At Last" but definitely the best. Don't we have another thread discussing "At Last?"

Aw man. :(

I love the sample from "Something's Got a Hold on Me" in "Good Feeling."

She is still alive. Her sons and husband (their step-father) have reached a deal on her $1 million estate.

I hear the angels singing; Miss Etta has arrived in style and is making a joyful noise!

Her suffering has ended, and her legacy endures. "Something's Got a Hold On Me", indeed. (I wonder if she has met up with Johnny Otis yet?)
