    the song that she wrote about her boyfriend Harvey Leaving her, was called "All I could Do was Cry" which was originally supposed to go to, Aretha Franklin's sister Erma Franklin, but when Etta James sung the demo for the song, she poured so much emotion into the song, that Leonard was like they got a release this, and Erma Franklin, but it was the best thing they could ever do, because it was a very big hit for Etta James, and it was talking about her watching the love of her life leave her, knowing the woman that he was with, and her basically going to the wedding, and watching them get married, while all she could do was cry, with the catchy lyrics, "For them Life is Just Beginning, while mine is ending, And All I Could Do Was Cry"

    My husband and I went to Vail to hear Etta about 25 yrs ago. Unfortunately, she couldn't tolerate the altitude due to health issues, so we never saw her in person. BUT, I may be a white girl, but I can say without any hesitation, Etta James is one of my top 3 female artists of all time. "I Would Rather Go Blind" is the song I played for my husband that changed his mind about blues music. I love that song, as well as most all her songs. Her voice is like Patsy Cline's. No one will ever sound like her. One and done. Amazing talent and never got the rewards she deserved in this life. I pray she has them in Heaven now. God rest her soul. She is truly an amazing talent.

      @monilaninetynine3811 Год назад +11

      @@roselynholloway7863 I believe that Eliza Boyer delivered Sam to his kidnappers. They kidnapped him and beat him to death, then delivered his dead body to the hotel for him to be supposedly found dead. Elisa and Bertha Franklin were both women with track records of setting up men and robbing them, so they had them telling that rehearsed story concocted by industry powers that be and the police about Sam going crazy, trying to rape Elisa and fighting with Bertha before being shot. The ladies received immunity for other crimes in exchange for cooperating in this. Sam may or may not have been shot. Nobody heard a gunshot coming from the hotel that night and the bullet allegedly taken from Sam's body was misplaced and never found. Supposedly, Bertha Franklin was involved in a similar situation about 6 months before Sam died. They say she died 18 months after Sam, but I have heard that she was put in a witness protection program and died in the 1990s. In the 1970s, Elisa Boyer was involved in another incident like this, but spent time in prison for it and was eventually released. She's possibly still alive, about 80 and has dementia. But Sam was doing too much. They couldn't have a black man getting that successful in business and inspiring other black people to do the same. They had to stop him, so they made an example of him.

    Oh yeah my boy did it again! ❤ I don't think I've ever heard of an artist singing someone else's song at the inauguration. Maybe that was the Obama's request? If so why didn't they invite the original artist? Something was weird about that. I remember Ettta being 38 hot too 😂 but remember what happened to her back in the day when she sung Dinah Washington's song. You gotta do a video on her heard she was something else back in the day too. Speaking of something else legend has it that not only was Bobby Womack messing with Sam Cooke's wife before he died Bobby also wore one of Sam's suits to the man's funeral Lawd!😮

    Great choice for a feature! Etta holds the throne. I haven't lived through 1/3 of what she sang about. But you can't tell by how I go through it with her! That song with the "church bells ringing" alone is so much! RIP Etta James.. I didn't like Beyonce singing your song either. Imitation when the original was available was audacious 👑❤🕊
